Looks like Captain America Civil War will stray away from the superheroes having to reveal their secret identities due to the Superhuman Registration Act. That is a huge plot point in the Civil War books, but if you think about it, the books have a crap-ton of heroes to deal with who all have their identities hidden. In the MCU, there are not as many heroes, and most of them don’t even wear masks. It makes sense that they will be going a different direction and hopefully the fan boys will realize that. This is a quote fromĀ Birth.Movies.Death.
There is no Registration Act. There are Accords, a global move to govern the supeheroes…many of the world’s governments are concerned about a unilateral super-powered strike force that answers to no one now that SHIELD has been destroyed The divide between Captain America and Iron Man boils down to that famous Latin quote that gave us one of the best comic book stories ever: Who watches the watchmen?
Should superheroes be free to do as they please, ubermensch inflicting their will on the world? Should superheroes be bound by the whims and changing winds of politics, unable to help people simply because a dictator who has a place on the UN Security Council doesn’t want anyone interfering in his human rights abuses? Tony Stark who has become increasingly aware of his responsibility to the world and Steve Rogers who has seen everything he believed in undermined when SHIELD was revealed to be a Hydra front.
