It started seeming with...
1. Every superhero has to register WITH THE GOVERNMENT their true secret identities.
2. Then it becomes the implication everyone has to have PUBLIC identities.
3. Then it becomes EVERY SUPERHUMAN PERIOD.
When the hell did that happen?
Its like they're trying to beat down a legitimate argument and making it a cariacture.
The original argument was that Superheroes I.e. People who beat up criminals and drag them to the police have to register with the government and be Federally trained. This is perfectly reasonable and makes Captain America out to be a power mad lunatic (which he is as far as I'm concerned-apparently Steve can't stomach the thought of "the masses" deciding anything for themselves).
Now in New Avengers 22# they've changed the whole premise that it's somehow a mandatory thing for all superpowered people. Which is so utterly ridiculous (i.e. even people who don't want to fight crime now have to and can't retire) that its assine. It puts all the moral authority in fascist Cap and suddenly makes the Iron Man crowd into the bad guys. Also, its impossible that Iron Man or Reed let alone Peter would go along with this new law when registration was a viable arguement when it was allowed to be about vigilantism.
I'm disgusted. I'm going to pretend they stuck with the reasonable law than this weird one. That anyone would support the new version is like some weird Supremeverse doubles of them.
