    No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

    Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

    And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

    Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

    And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

    So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

    I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

      The closest Marvel has to that position is Iron Man. But he still does his own thing, not the government bidding.

      It’s a major driving force in Civil War even the watered down version in the MCU.

      Tony Stark: I don’t have powers but made something that almost wiped out a nation so we should all register with the government that really hasn’t liked us all that much.

      Captain America: That’s a massive invasion of privacy and I fought against those who catalogued people, so get bent.
