    Civil War

    Story arc »

    Following a catastrophic tragedy caused by superhumans, the US Government passes a Super-Human Registration Act that requires all super-powered individuals in the country to reveal their identities, disclose their powers and personal details, and register as government employees or risk indefinite incarceration. This causes a deep rift in the hero community, with some backing the Act while others oppose it.

    In, Marvels Civil War, do to the law past in the U.S. that requires all Super Heroes to register their identity. Would you give away you secret identity? Why or Why Not?

    No, however as a a citizen I would expect the superhero's to do it. Vigilantism is illegal, and with a mask the blame shifts and realistically ppl arent as reponsible as in the comic universe. they would get away with thing that they may have done during the act of "serving the public will." The Public did not ask for them, therefore they should not be treated as superiors. If the governement were to lay down strict rights and exemptions, as well as try them in court when necessary, the public would feel better.

    It depends if revealing my identity would endanger me or my friends or family. If it wasn't a safety issue, then I wouldn't mind giving my identity.

    I don't think the Freedom of Information Act covers personal data, but I'd still worry who would have access. Since they can access you library records to see if you're a terrorist (it might catch literate but stupid terrorists), I'm sure they can give any flimsy excuse to open your files.

    It is happening in the Marvel Universe. The new series Civil War Tony Stark A.K.A Iron Man is behind the law and is rounding up heroes who refuse to register but continue to save lives. Captain America is the leader of the group who wont register. Stark has turned to using force, and all captured super heroes are sent to Zero Dimension prison.

    I know it ended it's just part of the discussion. I can also agree that most real people that became super heroes probably wouldn't give up the mask. If I would, whats to stop them from calling on me for every minute little problem.

    No thats not wat would happen. Most likely u would still be a freelance crime stoper, working for the government, be called on every so often. However you would also be responsible for your actions (though with support from the gvtment u could prbbly get alot of clearance and leeway) However, u would be able to get sued, and charged.

    Yeah like, Fix my plumbing problems, or save that kitten in the 2 inch tall tree, or Do my shopping. That would be annoying. Thats why I would use my cybernetic based powers for EVIL if I had any and my prosthetics were like the cybernetics of sci fi!!! And destroy said Douche filled goverment.

    Ya, getting sued would blow. What if they called me to do something that I felt went against my morals. If I said no they might have ground to send me to jail for not following orders, because you'd be like part of a new branch of the army. Plus I don't have complete trust in the current gov.

    If it comes right down to it and the gov did pull a hat trick I sure would show them a thing or Four. Besides that I'd like the public fame to much, and helping people makes he feel good. Corny or not.

    Actually I don't want to kill it. I want to rule it. And I can't run for president because I wasn't born here. So I have to use more violent means.

    They are never ever going to change the law that says only natural born us citizens can be president. And I'll be killed if I protest against the law like the last people who tried to protest against the goverment Remember the students who argued against the vietnam war? Quite a few of them died So that leaves only violence, Stupid laws that cannot be removed peacefully can only be removed by force.
