You could hold onto him and at times use him if you so which or delete but as I said he is as of many 4* characters with the 5*s as well very rare to get
The fact that he's so rare is all the more reason to get rid of him when he's adversely affecting your roster's ranking and giving you stronger opponents than your normal characters are capable of handling.
At that level of play it is downright unrealistic to expect to ever earn more of his covers to actually build him to usable status, aside from getting extremly lucky at token pulls with freely earned tokens. Realistically, you'd have to resort to pulling your wallet and spending a few hundred to thousand dollars on additional tokens.
So; resist the urge to keep him around and get rid of him.
Same for any other 4-star covers you will occasionally receive. Your roster is not yet ready to consistently earn enough of those to make them usable. They're dead-weight. Same for 5-star covers, which you shouldn't even begin to collect until you're nearing the top end of a full pedigree of 3-star characters on roster.
Infact; when you're just starting out, you should probably ignore even most 3-star characters, apart from the few 'key players' that will allow you to break into the higher play tiers. Those shift with the game's meta, but at the 3-star tier are luckily fairly stable. (Look them up on the game's official forums on D3P's website when you get to that tier of play.)
Also, just to inform you: the meta shifts much faster at the 4-star level, where cover skills are much more frequently subject to having their power levels and ancilliary effects tuned by the developers and where new character releases every other week continually create new strategies and counters.
(Side note; the publisher has revealed in several business interviews before that the game's chosen method of monetization is based on creating a system of imbalance, which forces even the more advanced rosters to continually mutate their composition and ideally spend cash to keep up the pace, which can be quite murderous at times. So; be aware of what you're getting into by playing this game 'seriously'!!)
The Howard is not that bad at your current level. It does increase your enemies level a bit because your other 3 top characters are only at level 56 and 50. So it's 70-56-50 (average level=58) instead of 56-50-50 (average level = 52). It's about 6 extra levels on enemies, not a lot. Also it will be fixed in a week or so when you get your 2* characters leveled to 70. So deciding to keep him or not should be based on your plan on how you want to collect your characters. As other people have mentioned Howard is rare, he does not drop from tokens, so can only be got from special events that happens once in half a year. There will be a chance to get one extra cover soon from the third subevent at Webbed Wonder event that is running now. There is also no planned 4* ddq mission for this character, there was one half a year ago when he was released but it rewarded another one of his covers.
If you want to collect all characters - keep him (as you will be slowing yourself down by half a year if you sell him), if you want to collect only base characters that actually help you play - sell him after current event ends (there is a required node for Howard in Webbed Wonder).
You are pretty solid in 1* land now, don't waste any Iso-8 on leveling 1* character. After you make a solid 2* team of 3-5 characters start selling all 1* except Juggernaut or Iron Man (most people recommend Jug). Leave only him as he can solo the 1* node in DDQ. Maybe you can leave 1* BlackWidow in your roster for a while due to her epic cheap stun. But as soon as you notice that you rarely use her, sell her too.
Next you should be trying to make a solid 2* team. Thor+BlackWidow+Storm will allow you to clear the wave node in DDQ for extra 3* cover for characters that you already have on your roster, so I suggest focusing on leveling those 3 as soon as possible. You can add Magneto, Daken and maybe Wolverine to that team for extra power during pve events. I see you already have 3* Daken with 3 covers, so 2* Daken is not that important (but remember that if you manage to champion 2* Daken he will eventually reward 3* Daken covers). Don't level up any other 2* as you may have to sell them while you still gather 3* covers.
Daken's DDQ will be at 8/31/2016, so try to prepare your 2* team (Thor+BlackWidow+Storm) for it. It does not have to be max level, but the closer it is to max, the easier that node will be.
Advice for starting player: don't open Legendary tokens or spend CP just yet. You may get a 5* character out of it and that will break your scalling a lot as they come at level 255. Just collect tokens and CP and start opening when you have several 3* characters championed and enough HP to slot any new 4* or 5* that you get.
