A character you create as an elite boss cannot become an archvillain no matter how large the team or high the challenge rating. At least suhc is my understanding.
On heroic, an elite boss will downgrade to a normal boss. Im not sure if ti does that while soloing at higher difficulties too.
If you create a mob as an archvillain, then on heroic difficulty, or for solo players on any difficulty lower than 5, it will spawn as an elite boss instead.
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Basically play on Heroic if you want AV's to be EB's.

Unless you select a character that is hard coded to be an AV. If you look at the dev created AVs, there are some that show level ranges as for instance (52-52). That will spawn as an AV no matter what your reputation is set at.

The rest will spawn as EB for a soloer at less than Invincible, or for a team or three or less set below Rugged and so forth.
I just stay on Tenacious all the time myself so I'll always have bosses. EBs won't turn into AVs there except for those exception mentioned above.

Ah, duh, of course. I even have one in one of my arcs. Vandal is an AV no matter what. But he's still soloable on my Uncle Sam arc. Because you have NPC's with you at the very end.
What are the official rules for how a boss spawns?
If you create a custom character as an EB, at what challenge level and/or team size does it become an AV (or an LT, I think)?
If you set a critter as an AV, is it always an AV, no matter what? Or does it downgrade to an EB at a certain point? Can you ever get an AV-set critter to spawn as an LT?
