@Timandm said:I think you mean what every non-government superhero 'DID', yes? because the Registration Act was repealed by the U.S. President about the same day Siege happened...Iron Man.... He's Dr. Doom lite... Stabs his friends in the back.. Knowing breaks laws to enforce what 'he' believes is right... Lies to his friends to mislead them into doing what he wants or needs... Ordered all mutants to be confined on the Xavier institute when it was not only unconstitutional, it was morally corrupt...I believe Cap did that when he opposed the Registration Act when it became law. Actually isn't that what every non-government superhero does.
Regarding what Cap did... You can certainly make that argument... But would you say what Harriet Tubman did was wrong? She had no rights as a slave, obviously... But how about all the people who worked on the underground railroad to help free slaves when slavery was legal... Freeing slaves and helping them escape was against the law.... Slavery, however, really was unconstitutional... Slavery violated the constitutional
Sometime a law is wrong and the right thing to do is to stand up against that law....
HOWEVER, Cap did not LIE to his friends and deceive them into following him or doing what he needed them to do....
Cap did not put people in prison in the Negative Zone because it was out of the jurisdiction of the U.S. government... Tony Stark basically said to Peter Parker that he could do whatever he wanted to the prisoners in Prison 42 because it was outside the jurisdiction of the constitution... He BLATANTLY stated it. he was working around the constitution...
You CAN say Cap broke the law... No doubt... But he was honest about it, and he stated why he was doing it... Also, he betrayed NO ONE... Stark betrayed everyone...
