I'm against the fictional registration of mutant powers, but I'm all for the fictional registration of super science!I don't think I would like the idea. The direct analogy of racism applies, in that you were born a mutant, it wasn't something you could have chosen, unlike choosing to own a gun. It would say that you want to monitor the activities of everyone of a certain group, before ever having committed a crime. If a mutant does become a criminal, using their mutant power or not, then they get to be registered and followed, like sex offenders.
However, if it were possible to choose to acquire a superpower (like a super soldier serum), I'm all for having that registered, just like any gun/weapon.
Yeah, it should totally be counted as a mental disease...I threw this up on Facebook and someone suggested the idea of the registration being treated not necessarily as a weapon, but as a medical condition. I think there's something to it, there.
Right, because it's TOTALLY okay for the government to have a complete listing of people with HIV or Aids... oh wait...I threw this up on Facebook and someone suggested the idea of the registration being treated not necessarily as a weapon, but as a medical condition. I think there's something to it, there.
If the cop was Batman then the bad guy would have bribed his way out of it anyway... or would be a crazy person who the cops where already looking for...Now imagine the cop is Batman. Without his testimony all the prosecution has to go off of is the fact that this guy was tied to a lamp post at 3am.
Most of the world's most notorious tyrants and monsters agree with you.As a Canadian, I'm absolutely for the idea of gun registration
That's exactly why She-Hulk fought against the Mutant Registration Act, but was Pro Super-Hero registration.But putting that aside for the moment, in the comic universe these people, these mutants, did not ask to be what they are. They didn't go down to a gun store and buy a gun, knowing they'd need to register it. Chibi's closest I think to the best analogy.
Super HEROES are a bit less of an issue, especially the normies with utility belts. Not to cross universes or anything, but what Batman does is illegal. This is pretty much accepted in canon. If a government wants to make a way to "legitimize" superheroes in some way, both the govt and the hero in question need to weigh whether the benefits of registration/collaboration outweigh the negatives, and accept the consequences of their choice either way.That's exactly why She-Hulk fought against the Mutant Registration Act, but was Pro Super-Hero registration.
This was more the fault of the writers than the actual event. They apparently didn't bother to see where their writers stood before the event went down. If they had, they could have gotten some guest writers that might have portrayed the pro-registry side in a better light. That they didn't really showed how little faith Marvel had in their team.Yep, Civil War when it comes down to it was more an attack of the genre than anything else.
While all the saints where totally into guns...Most of the world's most notorious tyrants and monsters agree with you.
Last I checked, saints were into dying painfully. If that's what you want out of life, go for it, bud.While all the saints where totally into guns...
Not all saints are martyrs. Quite a few died of natural causes.Last I checked, saints were into dying painfully. If that's what you want out of life, go for it, bud.
Hey, I was just keeping the wild, sweeping generalization train a'movin.Not all saints are martyrs. Quite a few died of natural causes.
You're confusing them with martyrs... (damn you ashburner for getting there first)Last I checked, saints were into dying painfully. If that's what you want out of life, go for it, bud.
You're mixing up what I said. I said tyrants like gun control. I didn't say saints should be required to carry guns.You're confusing them with martyrs... (damn you ashburner for getting there first)
But i'm sure having guns would have totally saved them from all those evil empires...
No, you just said they die... it was my fault for thinking you wanted that to have some sort of connection to the discussion instead of an interesting aside...You're mixing up what I said. I said tyrants like gun control. I didn't say saints should be required to carry guns.
