Well, seeing how we are all Daredevil fans I think I already know the answer to this, but just for fun for anyone following Civil War...who's side would you be on?

I voted for "freedom" but it's more a vote for "the whole registration thing is stupid and makes no sense". I'm not reading the series (although I am sort of following along) so maybe I just don't get it. But is this registration thing an American law? If so why don't the more powerful heroes just fly somewhere else. Like another country...or space? Plus, isn't it usually hard for superpowered people to catch other superpowered people....like all the super villians that have been around forever?

The premis is absurd. It's ridiculous that the heros that are pro registration are fighting the anti ones. Why? I mean, really, don't most of the pros know the anti's identites? I mean, is there really any hero out there that at least one other hero doesn't know his identity. Couldn't they just out the antis instead of "fighting" them (but, let's face it this is all about a pointless heros vs. heros exercise). And, why does the entire country (civilians) need to know the identities (like Peter just revealed). Which hero in his/her right mind (and with a family) would register??

Anyway, it's all garbage.

I must say that it is a bit of a one-sided argument for fanboys, unless your a massive fan of a "pro-reg" character, then pound to a penny you will be with the CAP.

It is wrong to have to register, Spidey will regret it, don't know why they had to reveal his ID, perhaps it is to avoid to Marvel status quo that they normally maintain and go more like DC? What I can't understand is that some of these characters seem more than willing to fight their friends, why not just abstain? I've registered but I will not help to get the others etc

Peter Parker seems massively out of character, even though I'd guess he'll do a change of sides, it just doesn't scan. Neither does Reed if truth be told, for no apparant reason he is ignoring the other FF etc, again doesn't scan.

All this said, I'm really enjoying it, just want to see Cap kick some pissed up Iron Ass!

I'll be surprised if there is anyone who is honestly pro-reg, I hope that people are honest and not siding with DD though! On a totally personal note of opinion, I only hope that The Punisher joins with Cap, but I can't guess which way he will go, if anything he will want to be pro-reg, but I await to be amazed.

Wait, why is Punisher on either side? He has no powers. What would he be registering as? Just a normal dude?

FC: Hi, I'm Frank Castle. I'd like to register.

Register Person: For what?

FC: Well, I'm the Punisher.

Register: I know that. Everyone knows that.

Yeah and rgj's "why not just out the other heroes?" point makes a mockery of the whole thing.
