This is the only way I can explain this bug. It seems like Peggys Passive is going off when she is a team-up choice.

Once They used the Team up - costs went back to normal.This is an insanely powerful bug! i have not tried it against the computer yet but would be an amazingly horrible hack for PVP.
just as an update. I got a Peggy as a team-up, and have played 3 PVP matches with her as my team up.
First match - Oponenets powers cost was raised.
2nd/3rd - power back to normal.
Did you try restarting the App? It may cause her power increase bug to trigger again.
I’ve noticed similar bugs recently vs the AI where it appeared the AI had some passive power going that was unexplainable (draining my AP). It may be not just Peggy Team Ups but other team ups where the character has a passive that increases/changes costs/drains AP etc.
I’ve encountered this bug too when facing an enemy with an Ultimate Soldier team-up. Just like you, once they used the team-up (fortunately, quite early in the match) my power costs went back to normal. I attach a screenshot in case that is useful.
I didn’t get a screenshot, but I got hit with this in the Samurai Daken PvP as well. They never fired the TU, so it ended up as a serious slog of a fight.
yeap - I had a crazy run with them procing and completely neutering certain characters.
I had 2 Peggys, and ProfX5 which caused Vultures black (normally 6), up to 14(!).
it doesn’t seem to always work but when it does it stops low power people in their tracks (Okoye/Thor are no threat at all, BRB doesn’t instantly get the blue required, Bishop can’t stunlock as easy)
Got a Peggy Red TU from an alliance mate and ran some tests in the Deadpool PvE
On a fresh boot of the app, you have to deselect your Peggy TU (swap it for another TU) and then select It again. Then it starts to work.
Once its working, it continues to work between battles for as long as you have it equipped providing you don’t use it in battle (and why would you).
In some nodes, it never worked. In the 4* node with Ulton/Carnage/Doc Ock, I tried rebooting the app, selecting and deselecting and it never worked for any of my 4 clears. The same happened in the Dr Doom/2 Goon node. I think if the enemy team has an active passive (Carnage special tile placement, Dr Doom trap placement) it stops the Peggy bug from occurring at start of battle. This I think is why some people don’t seem to see it working against certain teams.
Anyway it made my clear of the 5E node with Vulture/Daken way less stressful as they never once fired a power in my 4 clears

If anyone wants to look at the bug in action. The last Polaris Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. node. (Ready for anything) has a Peggy teamup and illustrates it nicely.
