Fury is blamed for the incident, but manages to escape arrest. Senator Dell Rusk proposes the Superhuman Registration Act, which requires all super heroes to work for the government. Heroes such as Iron Man, Yellowjacket, & Mr. Fantastic support this Act believing they need to be put in check to prevent anymore deaths, while heroes such as Captain America, Falcon, & Luke Cage oppose it. Some heroes choose to retire. Spider-Man is torn between which side to choose. Things are difficult with heroes like Thor & Hulk gone, Nick Fury missing, and the Inhumans declaring neutrality and moving Attilan to the moon after their war with the mutants. Things get even more complicated when an explosion puts T'Challa's mother in a coma and fingers are pointing at Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier.
