Question

like, what were the events and whats it all about?

Answer 1

Civil War is a 2006 seven-issue comic book miniseries, announced as Marvel Comics' major summer 2006 crossover event. Written by Mark Millar and penciled by Steve McNiven, the work builds upon themes and events established in previous Marvel comic book series, most recently Avengers Disassembled and House of M. Some story elements are also indicated in the miniseries Secret War.[1] The tag line for the series is Whose Side Are You On?

The series centers around a newly enacted Super-human Registration Act, which, when passed into law, would require all persons in the United States with superhuman abilities who wish to use those abilities to fight crime to register with the federal government and receive proper training as law enforcement officials. Such persons would not only be subject to U.S. law (including the prohibition of minors from participating in such activities), but would, according to the law, reap the full benefits of civil servants, including pensions, and so forth. Because the forced registration of persons would spark a civil liberties controversy, the Act splits notable superheroes within the Marvel Universe, resulting in two super-powered factions forming, one advocating registration as the responsible obligation of the super-powered living in society, and the other opposed to the law on the grounds that it violates civil rights and that it would turn all superhumans into agents of the government. This conflict builds into the titular Civil War, into which themes from current events will be woven. Writer Mark Millar has noted "The political allegory is only for those that are politically aware. Kids are going to read it and just see a big superhero fight." Some see this as a reflection of real world views on such things as the PATRIOT Act or gun control.

The opening shot of the Civil War begins shortly after with a reckless fight between the New Warriors, filming a reality television show, and a cadre of villains in Stamford, Connecticut. The battle goes awry for the heroes, resulting in villain Nitro creating an explosion that destroys a local school and the surrounding neighborhood, and kills all but one of the Warriors. (A plot point that has drawn comparison to previous works, notably Alex Ross and Mark Waid's "Kingdom Come" DC mini-series, in which Captain Atom is accidentally 'split open' while pursuing the supervillain Parasite, destroying a large portion of Kansas and the American breadbasket, and leading to widespread chaos.) This event catalyzes a government movement to register all super-powered beings as living weapons of mass destruction. The event also turns public opinion against superheroes, as many of them are blamed for the incident. Due to this, many superheroes -- most notably Johnny Storm, the Human Torch -- are attacked in public by angry civilians. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to recruit Captain America to become part of the team that will force superheroes to register. Cap refuses, and after being attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for non-compliance, goes underground to become the figurehead of the anti-registration movement. Iron Man, on the other hand, supports the act and tells the government to leave Captain America to him and the other pro-registration heroes.

The act is soon passed, and a day later Captain America and the Falcon, of Captain America's underground resistance, rescue the Young Avengers from a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison convoy. They bring the teen superheroes to a secret facility that Nick Fury had previously allowed Captain America to use (Fury remains in hiding after the events of Secret War). Meanwhile, Peter Parker, after deliberating with his wife, Mary Jane Watson, and Aunt May, unmasks himself to an audience of the world press, showing his full support for the registration act. This action causes J. Jonah Jameson to faint, as the thorn in his side for so many years was right under his nose. Norman Osborn, in prison, remarks that Peter broke a deal he believes they had. Meanwhile, Wolverine is hunting down Nitro and the Thunderbolts are recruiting villains to the cause of registered superheroes.

Several members of the anti-registration movement (dubbed the "Secret Avengers" by the press), including Captain America, Hercules, Daredevil, and Goliath have adopted secret identities provided by Nick Fury. While eating in a diner, the four are notified of an emergency at a petrochemical plant. The anti-registration heroes flock there to rescue the workers, but Cable realizes too late that it is a trap, for the plant is a division of Stark Industries. The pro-registration heroes show up and disable Cloak and Wiccan so they cannot teleport their allies away. Iron Man pleads Captain America to listen to his argument for registration. Captain America agrees and shakes Iron Man's hand, but actually plants on his hand a device devised by Nick Fury to disable Iron Man's suit should he ever go "over to the other side." A large scale battle between the heroes ensues, and Iron Man, after rebooting his suit, seems to have the upper hand against Captain America. Hercules rushes to assist Captain America, but he and several other members of the resistance are laid low by a gigantic lightning bolt: The Mighty Thor has returned.

Meanwhile, using the confusion of the Civil War as cover, former X-Force members Shatterstar and Domino, with help from Caliban begin a riot at the X-Mansion during which a majority of the 198 escape. The Sentinels guarding the grounds are severely damaged and only one is able to pursue, but loses the craft. Bishop recruits Micromax and Sabra to work with O*N*E to locate the 198. Cyclops leads a team consisting of the original X-Men (Archangel, Beast, Iceman, and himself, but lacking Jean Grey) to locate the 198 before Bishop and O*N*E. But as they leave, the new Sentinel models arrive and confront Emma Frost who is left behind to guard the mansion by herself.

Not yet, we’re all eagerly awaiting this loser series to end and things to go back to normal in the Marvel Universe. 18 JAN 07, 1853 hrs, GMT.

Answer 3

Umm.. due to all the homeland security stuff going on the government has asked all heroes to register their true identities because they are walking weapons of mass destruction. It's a big deal and they bugged Spiderman until he ripped off his mask.
