DC Civil War Lineup

The Civil War storyline is easily one of my favourite storylines due to heroes being pitted against each other and the clash of national security against personal liberties. One of the main interests for me in Civil War is What if DC did Civil War? In general, the public in the DC Universe is more trusting in its heroes than in the Marvel Universe. However, a Superhuman Registration Act is not out of the question in the DCU. Pro Registration, Anti Registration and Neutral sides will be included and the list is comprised of heroes, villains, teams and organisations if all the members of a team or organisation would be on one particular side.

Note: All these characters are in their Pre Flashpoint incarnations.

List items

  • Pro Registration starts here. Serves the Tony Stark role. Whilst not completely certain about the Superhuman Registration Act, he reluctantly serves as the leader of the Pro Registration side.

  • A marine who's no stranger to following orders, John sides with Hal and joins the pro registration side

  • Following Hal out of respect, Kyle joins his fellow Green Lantern's on the Pro Registration. He later defects to the Anti Reg side after trying to stop an attack on a random superhero but gets disarmed and beaten. Serves in the role of the Human Torch

  • Being a space cop, Guy believes the Superhuman Registration Act is necessary so joins the Pro Reg side with Hal.

  • A reluctant member of the Pro Registration side, Barry sides with Hal out of friendship. Whilst he may be used to taking orders being a forensic scientist, he feels sympathy for the friends he has to now fight. Serves in Hank Pym's role.

  • Whilst reluctant to fight his friends, Wally sides with Barry out of respect and places his trust in him, joining the Pro Registration side. Later defects to the Anti Reg side along with Kyle Rayner. Serves in the Invisible Woman role.

  • Similarly unsure about fighting his friends, Bart nevertheless joins Barry and Wally. Later defects to Anti Reg side with Kyle and Wally.

  • Even though he is unsure about his trust in the government, Jay still joins the Pro Registration forces due to Barry, Alan and Mr Terrific being on the same side.

  • Hawkman aided in the attempt to capture Superman and Batman in Public enemies so would most likely side again with the government.

  • Follows Carter to Pro Registration side

  • Young, naieve and optimistic, Billy Batson has sided with the government before when he along with Hawkman attempted to capture Superman and Batman. Billy decides to trust the Wisdom of Solomon and join the government once again.

  • Serves in Mr Fantastic's role. After extensive calculations, Mr Terrific concludes that superheroes will eventually engage in an all out war with the government unless a Superhuman Registration Act is put into place.

  • Joins due to friendship with Alan and Scott.

  • Follows JSA members to Pro Reg side.

  • Reluctantly follows her father to Pro Registration side.

  • Anti Registration starts here. The ultimate loner and street hero, Batman looks at the Superhuman Registration Act with contempt. Working for the government means forgoing his duties to Gotham as its Dark Knight. Serves in Captain America role as leader of the Anti Registration side.

  • As Batman's first protege and fellow street hero, Dick would disagree with the Superhuman Registration Act, fearing it would undermine the work he and fellow street level heroes do. Follows Bruce to Anti Reg, serving in the role of Iron Fist.

  • Being used to working as a street hero, Tim hates the Superhuman Registration Act and follows Bruce and Dick to Anti Registration side.

  • As a team of Gotham femme fatales, the team would lend their talents to the Anti Reg side.

  • Oracle brings the Birds of Prey, most of which are already street heroes to the Anti Reg side

  • As 'Outsiders' the logical choice of this team is to join the Anti Reg side.

  • As an independant hero, Renee would join the Anti Reg side.

  • This young team, not wishing to be led by politicians joins the Anti Registration.

  • Doctor Fate believes that the Superhuman Registration Act will lead to the enslavement of all metahumans in the future and thus joins the Anti Registration to oppose it.

  • Not wishing to be controlled like in the past with Trigon, Raven joins the Anti Registration along with the rest of the Teen Titans.

  • Follows the Teen Titans and Raven to Anti Reg

  • Joining the Pro Registration would mean that Geo Force would have to answer to a higher authority, something that as King, he cannot abide. Geo Force declares Markovia a Pro Registration free zone, making it the perfect base for the Anti Registration forces.

  • A team of misfits and freaks, the Doom Patrol are no strangers to being outside public opinion and the law so will join the Anti Registration forces.

  • As a member of the Outsiders, Rex will join the Anti Registration

  • As a member of the Outsiders, Creeper will join the Anti Registration

  • As a street level anti hero, Catwoman will point blank refuse to work for the government and will join the Anti Registration to achieve her own ends

  • Will join Anti Rgistration.

  • Booster will join Anti Reg due to personal connections with members of this side. May be tempted to go to Pro Reg though.

  • Follows Teen Titans to Anti Registration

  • Neutral side starts here. Now I know what you're thinking. Why isn't Superman on the Pro or Anti Reg side? And it's true he could be on the Pro Reg side due to stories such as the Dark Knight Returns where he works for the American Government and Kingdom Come where Superman took action into his own hands by forcibly recruiting the world's metahumans. Likewise, he could also be on the Anti Reg side due to the restriction on personal liberties and the danger he could be bringing to his loved ones. However, in my opinion, Superman wouldn't pick a side. He'd stay neutral in the affair. He wouldn't agree with the action the government is taking by recruiting superheroes but because he stands for the 'American Way', he wouldn't fight the change either. He'd stay neutral in the affair and help out with civilain casualties, similar to his role in War of The Supermen. Serves in the role of the Thing.

  • Despite her sympathy for her friends in the Anti Registration and her desire to join the Anti Reg side, Kara listens to her cousin and remains neutral.

  • Not wishing to be a part of the possible destruction of another world he loves, J'onn stays neutral in the affair.

  • Just as Superman has kept Supergirl out of this Civil War, so too does J'onn keep M'Egaan out of the Civil War too, in spite of wanting to fight alongside the Teen Titans.

  • Despite their being 4 Green Lanterns on the Pro Registration side, the Guardians stay neutral and order the Green Lantern Corps to do the same. An Earth bound Civil War is beneath the Guardians' interests or concern in any case

  • Would stay neutral to manipulate the war to his advantage.

  • As the right hand of God, the Spectre stays out of the war and attends to his other duties as the Spirit of Vengeance.

  • Currently has problems of his own being alive and all so stays neutral in this war.

  • As an agent of order. Dove stays neutral not wishing to tip the scales in anyone's favour.

  • Stay neutral under orders from the Guardians. Most are not concerned with the outcome of the Civil War or don't care anyway.

  • Despite his desire to help the Anti Registration, Red Tornado stays neutral to protect his family from the possible outcome of the war.

  • Since she is in Africa forming the Justice League of Africa, she stays out of the Civil War.

  • Despite calls from both sides for assistance, Adam Strange has too many problems of his own to help e.g Rann and working for LEGION again so remains neutral.

  • Nobody wants Swamp Thing on either side, fearing he'll damage their cause so he remains neutral in this war.

  • He, along with the other Angels of Pax Dei have been ordered by the Presence to stay neutral in the war.

  • Couldn't think of the last 2 so decided to employ Zauriel and the Presence. As the creator of the universe, the Presence stays out of the everyday lives of us human beings, including this Civil War. He may not like it happening but he stays out of it nonetheless, not wishing to rob us of the free will to stop it from happening. Being an atheist I don't actually believe any supernatural entity exists but there is such a being in comic books so that suits the purposes of this list.

@RichyRich: I admit that Kyle is a candidate for defecting but as brash as Guy is, he has taken orders from the Guardians, from his time on JLI and if he respects the person then I feel he would trust their judgement. Despite the bad blood between them, Guy does have respect for Hal and would stick with him. As for the Flashes, Barry works in law enforcement and was in the Pre New 52 verse greatly admired by Wally and Bart so they would follow Barry in the greater good path. Like I said, they're reluctant members and I was trying to put as many heroes as I think possible into the government side as in the pre New 52 DCU, the heroes acted in a pretty much separate jurisdiction from the government.

And seeing as Batman is leading....he won't wimp out like Captain America. Good point on Superman.......I have no idea where he'd be. But with Power Girl and Wonder Woman, the Marvels can be restrained

@krspaceT: Yeah WW and PG do cancel the Marvels out nicely. Though looking back I am kind of worried that power wise most of the more powerful beings are on the Pro Reg side. And Batman isn't the type to wimp out over a scenario like this. Wonder what would have happened if Cap had gone through with beating or killing Iron Man in the final battle?

Great list. I agree with a lot of these. However, I just don't see Jay and the other JSA members joining the Pro-Registration side, and I just can't see Hal as the Pro-Registration leader. Hawkman would probably be Anti. With the whole Public Enemies story, Hawkman didn't actually have to reveal his identity, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to, so he's most likely to be Anti, not pro.

Other than those, I like this list.

@CaptainLantern76: I'm getting the JSA comments a lot given that they refused to reveal their identities to the government back in WW2. To be honest I was trying to balance things out as most DC heroes would be reluctant to join the Pro Reg side if a registration act was passed. With Hal I see him as a lot like Tony Stark in that he's taken up the leader of the Pro Reg role reluctantly. Batman and Wonder Woman are against it, Superman is neutral in my version so a big name is needed to rally the Pro Reg heroes. Stark wasn't too keen on the Registration Act but he still became its leader. But thanks for commenting and recommending the list!

@Lvenger: Well, when you put it that way, Hal does seem like a good choice for leader. I personally see him as Anti, but we all have our own opinions. The only other thing I have to say now is that I saw Martian Manhunter being better suited to filling in Dr. Strange's role and staying out of the conflict. But oh well.

And your welcome.

@Deranged Midget: I do consider this my greatest labour of love on here. This was one of the earliest things I did I believe. And it's the most popular thing I've done. I have had criticism but it's all been good and directed at certain characters and their true motives. A user called krspacet asked my permission to make his own DC Civil War list and his list is awesome too.

Perfect list it would be cool if they did this but obviously there would be the issue of people criticizing it for copying the premise Marvel used. Still fun to think about though.

@7DEADPOOL7: It was just a What If? scenario. I doubt DC would replicate this. This was just my idea of What If DC thought of Civil War first and had done it instead of Marvel. But thanks for the positive comments!

Other additions to the Pro Side. Magog and The Rogues (In the same vein as the Thunderbolts).

I'd also reckon that Booster Gold, Cyborg and Power Girl would actually be Pro Reg.

Aquaman might remain neutral me thinks.

Kyle, Bart Allen and perhaps Wally West would all desert the Pro Reg side eventually I think.

Those are two good additions. Why didn't I think of that?

Good point about Booster though since this takes place in the Pre New 52 universe, I felt that Cyborg and PG would join the Anti Reg side.

If the Pro Reg side tried to get Aquaman to register (which they would) he'd be inclined to join the Anti Reg side. He's never been a fan of surface dwellers and if they tried to interfere in Atlantean buisness, he'd let the Pro reg side know what it means to p*** off an undersea kingdom.

Perhaps but I needed more people on the Pro Reg side. Hence the GLs and the Flashes. Nice comment though.

I think power wise, the Anti-Reg are definitely outnumbered.

Maybe I'm just taking into account Superman and Batman when Power Girl joined up with the government sponsered team that Luthor implemented.

For Cyborg it was actually his portrayal in Flashpoint that most swayed me but I understand what you mean.

Sorry to stereotype, but I think Aquaman would probably go the way you say, but ultimately stay out of it in the interest of Atlantis, but again, similarly to Namor, gives a hand when needed.

I actually agree with the Flashes, and the Lanterns. Kyle just seems to be the one who role has been most detached from Hal and he seems like the one more inclined to follow his personal morality as always, partly because he doesn't have the Military background of Hal or John, and Guy has more allies amongst the Pro reg anyway. He's effectively Sue Storm. All of Bart's buddies are on Anti-Reg, and pardon the pun, but he's too impulsive not to desert the Pro-Reg. Finally Wally has the Titans on the Anti-Reg. Although he'd probably stick it out for the long run, even if he had moral regrets. Alternatively, he's Johnny

@Backflip: I've had that comment before too. I'd like to think though that with Superman, MM and Supergirl out the picture, things are a bit more fair. But yeah on balance the Anti Reg side are outgunned.

PG was a mole on that team for Superman and Batman in that story along with Katana. She never trusted Luthor in government.

Flashpoint was Cyborg's chance to become better known in a bigger role before the reboot hence the fact in the Flashpoint reality, he was America/Earth's greatest hero instead of Superman.

Perhaps he may take a Namor role in the conflict. Though Aquaman does offer the Pro reg side some major support in terms of Atlantis as a base though.

Nice reasoning about the Lanterns and Flashes. I should have considered that when I did this list.

Some of your choices make sense. However, none of the original Justice Society members, such as Alan Scott or Jay Garrick would ever join the pro-Registration side because they dealt with this once before under Senator McCarthy's malevolent ambitions in the House Unamerican Activities Committee.

The original Justice Society had disbanded specifically in protest of the pro-Registration efforts back in the 1950s, and history has vindicated them repeatedly since then. Therefore, not only would they openly refuse a Registration movement, they would advise everyone who looks up to them to refuse it as well.

Similarly, if Billy Batson, Mary Batson, or Freddy Freeman utilized the wisdom of Solomon, they would know ahead of time what the Marvel mini-series proved: that superhero registration is a terrible idea and only enables mad dogs such as Senator McCarthy, Norman Osborn, and certain recent political figures to grab onto a fascistic level of power.

It seems highly unlikely that any superhero who knows about Task Force X or Project Cadmus would trust the government to behave responsibly with a superhero registration such as occurred in the Marvel Comics, as this would have meant that President Lex Luthor would have known the names of all registered superheroes (is there anything Lex wouldn't have done to Ma and Pa Kent to bend Superman to his will? or to Alfred to control The Batman?) amd that Amanda Wallace would have had control over all unregistered superheroes who ended up in prison for violation of the Registration Act -- and Cadmus would have had easy access to their DNA to build all the Soldiers of Mass Destruction that Generals Eiling and Lane could imagine.

I agree. To be honest, with all the bad things dones by the government in Marvel comics, the idea that anyone would trust them was the most unbelievable part about the whole Civil War atrocity of a story arc. It's as though no one in Marvel has the attention span to remember all the terrible things the government has done by way of Gyrich with the Avengers, for example, or Hydra in the White House, or the replacement of Steve Rogers with the Super-Patriot as the new Captain America.

It has been said many times in comic book circles that Siege was Marvel's apology for Civil Wars, which is why Norman Osborn becomes the "Iron Man" character of his warped version of the Avengers. Osborn was transformed from Spider-Man's great nemesis into Iron Man's "oh my god what have I done???" nemesis, in many ways behaving in the Siege story arc as a nasty parody of Iron Man's worst actions during the Civil Wars story arc.

I notice that in the films, Marvel has been very careful to present a Tony Stark who would NEVER be on the pro-Reg side!

@dngn4774: To the forums? I've never thought of doing that. Might be an interesting blog post. But I'm sure your work on this subject matter will be far better than mine! KRspacet compiled a far superior DC Civil War list than I could ever hope to achieve. I'll look out for your writing on a DC Civil War fan fic! Is it a fan fic or something else?

Batman anti-registration? At first sight, could be. But, is?

WHO built Brother Eye (In 2 different continuities)? WHO had a secret cabinet with secrets plans to take down his friends?(again in 2 different continuities) WHO is a millionare playboy by day in the same fashion of Iron Man? WHO also as obsession with high tech toys and spies on his friends like Iron Man?

For me Bruce Wayne is the ultimate paranoid -control freak. He would said he is anti registration but surreptitiously he would be manipulating the pro side to take the control for himself and put himself or some puppet character in control. He like secrets? Yes, but only if those are his secrets. The rest of the world can't keep their own secrets from the obsessive Batman.

Batman, poster face for the pro side, I say.

@lvengerI've always found this list to be fascinating. Some things I disagree with(like Batman being Anti-Registration) but other than those one or two problems. I agree with the bulk of it...Good job. Might make my own list like this if you don't mind.

@thor_ul: This is a first I have to say. Usually it's other things people object to but Batman being Pro Registration? I just can't see it. Hell I could be convinced Superman might reluctantly be on the Pro Reg side but Batman? He just doesn't seem to fit. The Pro Reg side would require him to give up his identity and independence, something he wholly relies on for his war on crime in Gotham. Batman Inc operates outside of the government's control in each country a representative is in so I can't see how he would be on the Pro Reg side given his relationship with the law.

Oh and @bluelantern1995: go right ahead. Other people have asked permission for the same thing and their lists have been very impressive. Just tell me when you've made it as I'd like to see what you've come up with :P

@arkhamc1tizen: Thank you. This is like my pet project on Comicvine and one of the most popular things I've done on here. It's generated a lot of off shoots which I'd recommend looking at too.

oh can you give me links

@captainlantern76 had the second best list but yours makes more sense,your point about Hal being Pro-Reg leader makes more sense than Superman being Pro-Reg. But I agree with Ray Palmer being Pro , Jason Todd being Punisher in the event and some other stuff. But basicly your idea should be adapted by DC. Right now!!!

@kidamazo29: Interesting idea. Not sure which DC characters would fit where though.

@vandinejd_1991: Hmmm good point actually. They could play the role of the mind controlled villains that were used in Civil War or they could just be neutral and running free based on the chaos the Civil War would be causing.

@transformers1024: Probably on the anti heroes side or serving in the role of The Punisher in this conflict. Hey that's what I should have put him as in the first place, Jason totally fits the role of The Punisher here with his anti hero agenda and lethal methods doesn't he?

Can I just say this is badly done? If you're seriously considering putting all the Green Lanterns as pro reg and all the flashes, then you really don't know much about their characters. Allen Scott, as you pointed out, was once White King at Checkmate. Depending on the timeline, he could be pro, anti or neutral.

Hal would definitely be against pro reg, as would Guy, potentially John and Kyle I could see signing up as pro reg. For the Flash family, Jay would go neutral or anti (Possibly retire again), Barry would probably argue that registration is a good idea. Wally could be any of the three options, Bart would be against, as a teenager and a member of the Titans.

@greenlantern2814_: Well of course you are though I am allowed to disagree and explain my reasoning. And for one I do know a lot about the Lanterns' characters, especially Hal, John and Kyle. The former two have experience with the military and just like Hal is doing with the Green Lantern Corps currently, might feel the need to stabilise the situation and become the Pro Reg leader. After all, Tony Stark was initially against registration but then changed his tune and become the main advocate for it.

The valid point has also been raised that the JSA refused to reveal their identities to the government after WWII and went into retirement, meaning that they're unlikely to side with the government here. It's just that I needed characters to be on the Pro Reg side since, realistically, most DC heroes would be against The Registration Act if it ever happened in the DC Universe anyway.

Obviously you don't, John and Kyle are the only Lanterns who would seriously consider the pro reg. There are a number of reasons as to why Hal wouldn't be in there: Repeatedly striking superior officers, poor conduct, failure to obey orders, described as a hothead and reckless. Plus outside of the military aspect, Hal has a lot of respect for Batman and visa versa, despite their obvious problems and distrust after Hal became parallax and then came back to life, so I seriously doubt Hal would be on the side of pro reg. Though there are arguments against, such as protecting his family and Carol, I doubt Hal would allow that to stop him.

@greenlantern2814_: Given I've been reading comics for 7 years and read most of Geoff Johns' GL run, I think I'm entitled to say I know the characters. And there are circumstances where Hal would be willing to act as Pro Reg leader.
