After years of increasingly devastating superhuman conflicts, the world has begun to fear its heroes. The destruction left behind by Galactus and the disappearance of Hulk have convinced governments that superhumans can no longer operate without consequences. A new Superhuman Registration Act is introduced, requiring every powered individual to reveal their identity and operate under government supervision. Iron Man supports the law, believing that heroes must be held accountable for their actions. Captain America refuses, arguing that surrendering their freedom would turn heroes into government weapons. When a catastrophic incident involving young heroes causes a massive loss of life, the debate becomes a war. The Avengers split into two factions, with Iron Man leading the registered heroes while Captain America gathers those who oppose the Act. As both sides begin hunting their former allies, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four are pulled into the conflict. Tony’s attempts to maintain control become increasingly extreme, while Steve realizes that the resistance is becoming just as destructive as the system they are fighting. Their conflict finally erupts into a massive battle in New York, where heroes from both sides fight each other and the city is left devastated. When Captain America gains the upper hand, he sees the destruction surrounding them and realizes that the heroes have gone too far. Rather than allowing the war to continue, Steve surrenders. The Registration Act remains, but the Avengers are permanently fractured, with friendships destroyed and the superhero community divided. Mid-credit: Kingpin returns to his abandoned office, looking out over New York as he prepares to reclaim his criminal empire. Post-credit: Crossbones receives mysterious orders to continue with the plan. The camera moves behind Crossbones and we see the RED SKULL.
