the rebels

Answer 2

This is a better question than mine. I'm kicking myself.
1) As I understand it Marvel are going to be killing off Speedball of the New Warriors. Now as u know the rest of the New Warriors perished at the Stamford massacre. But Marvel are gonna beat the last survivor a little more then kill him.
2) I am very Disappointed with Thor for siding with Iron Man. My guess is being the God of Thunder and the Lord of Asgard he doesn't understand the complexities of a dual identity or of protecting loved ones.
3) The X men are against Registration, believing it is a spin off of Mutant registration. Only Bishop is for it, causing a split down the middle of the team. It should soon be The X-men against Bishop and the Sentinel Squad O.N.E.
4) Finally, I'm on Cap's side, fighting against Superhuman Registration.

Answer 3

1) I don't know who has died. That may be just marketing hype, and it may only be a means of bringing the character back more powerful than ever.

2) I mainly wanted to say, people have forgotten, Thor once had a secret identity, as Dr. Don Blake, for many years. I am a little surprised that he is siding with Iron Man, and I can only attribute it to 'retcon', that is, retroactive continuity changes-- maybe (as of the curent storyline) there never really was a Don Blake. I can't see Thor otherwise siding with the registration act, as he understands all too well the need to protect helpless mortals, and their loved ones from unscrupulous criminals that would attack them.

3) I don't know what's going on with the X Men. Bishop is alone against the rest...? I suspect that means that he is marked to die. Strength in numbers, you know.

4) I could never personally comply with such a registration act. I have too many loved ones to protect. I would probably never have gone public in the first place... skulk around ruining criminals plans w/o using violence and w/o bringing the police into it. Going public is just suicidal.

For comparison, re-read the first issues of Superman after they rebooted him. He wasn't planning on going public, until an emergency forced him into it. For the first few years of his career, he was content to work in secret, without a costume or secret id or anything.

Also, for comparison, read Watchmen. It's clear, there will never be a comic that is realistic in that respect, in that the governments of the world simply would not tolerate the operation of unknowns even if they were on the side of law enforcement. If it's not part of the miliatary or the police force, they'll investigate it just like any other organization or individual that might someday become potentially dangerous. Nobody's actually going to gain their respect and be given trust and a tacit license to operate, like Batman.

Remember Star Brand, from the New Universe...? He didn't want to wear a costume and go public. He was seen flying around by someone who realized he didn't want to go public, they took photos and blackmailed him into doing things for them. When he did go public, people were able to start tracing down who he was almost immediately. And of course, the mistakes he made with his powers, but that's a separate matter.

Answer 4

1) No one yet. However Speedball is in prison and seems a likely target for a prison killing.

2) Apparently everyone has forgotten Avengers: Disassembled. Thor returned to Asgard and took his hammer with him. It was subsequently destroyed in the fight against Loki. In an earlier Fantastic Four (just pre-Civil War) there is a shot of an unidentified male with a backpack and the letters D.B. stiched on. This may be Donald Blake, or possibly someone with a connection to him. The hammer has returned to Earth (in another FF issue) and a new Thor exists. We as of now know NOTHING about who is the new wielder of Mjolnir. So, there may be reasons he is siding with the government that we don't know about.

3) The X-Men are very split. Wolverine is clearly anti-registration. Cyclops and Emma are somewhat neutral, for it but not wanting to get involved. Bishop is trying to avoid mutant casualties as a result of registration by cooperating. Post M-Day is their main concern still.

4. As my bumper sticker says, I'm with Captain America.

Answer 5

1) Some guy died in Civil War:Frontlin # 4 or 5, but not majors yet
2) I am sorta, but I'm hoping he switches
3) X-Men are either in space or dealing with M-Day, for more, read X-Men Civil War.
4) I'm on the rebels side. Cap is sticking by what he believes in, not compromising himself for some trendy law

Answer 6

I too could might desire to bypass with Batman outthinking Stark. nonetheless, with all those loopy powers, issues might desire to be so unpredictable. And in the journey that your forces are rather outmanned, or outgunned in a given conflict, i don't think of there is often the thank you to plot your way out of dropping. fairly, there are in simple terms too many variables, and too many strategies stray blasts or extremely-potential punches might desire to utterly turn the tables. So it would desire to nonetheless bypass the two way.
