    To be fair the motivating factor of that one is a bunch of teenage heroes accidentally get a school (and themselves) blown up because they were filming a reality TV show.

      To be even more fair it was Nitro (a villain) that blew up the school, not the teenagers.

      Only character I liked in that plotline was Wolverine because he didn’t bother with any of the bullshit and was just trying to track down Nitro and kill him.

        Yeah, but the point of registration (from Stark’s point of view) was to train superheros how to engage villains safely. Not run blind into a situation with a villain who can level a square quarter mile at the speed of thought.

        Nitro is gonna Nitro, the kids should have known better.

            Hey don’t talk shit about Xavier or he’ll kill you with his mind powers.

            Therefore training children to be in his own personal army is cool and awesome!

          Sure but they instantly lost the thread by going after superheroes that didn’t sign on before going after Nitro. Dude’s still out there and could still blow up more schools, but let’s instead duke it out with Captain America because that’s more important right now. WTF?

          Tony Stark is behaving way more irresponsibly than those teenagers were. But he’s heading up an initiative to train teenagers with super powers to be more responsible?

          The movie did it better. They weren’t debating a law while Ultron was still out there doing his thing. The debate came after Ultron was taken care of. Immediate danger is taken care of, so now we can think about how we can do things better. Comic book version was just Tony Stark and Reed Richards become super villains for a while. Their actions don’t really make any sense.

        Wolverine was literally pulverized down to his adamantium skeleton by Nitro and regenerated back from that in a matter of, what, 2 minutes? That part always annoyed me to no end
