Bob touches upon an interesting topic , going on to fence that he does n’t realise how all these superhuman Americans can subsist while regular Americans die everyday on the frontlines of warfare :
Hey , here ’s a story . Y’know who else he ’s too busy for ? citizenry like me , who did two tours in Afghanistan . I seen the president , the USO , but funny enough , none of you guys . You , the Avengers … not even friggin ' Ant - Man an ' his bug .
Johnny attempts to explain the politics of the situation , exact heroes are individual citizens and not governing employees or soldiers … but is defended before he can stand up for himself . Or , frankly , offer a compelling answer .
While it seems foolish to accuse or insult a man who spends most of his clock time spare the creation for … well , not aid to protect the humans , it ’s an interesting stop of view to consider . In a world full of fantastic Heron , reader tend to forget the humans itself is still intend to be our own . soldier , policemen , fireman , and paramedics are risking their lives daily , without any kind of special ability to back them up . And risk them facing the side effect of villains and heroes alike , should Spider - Man or Batmanfail to show . It only gravel more " complicated " when you considerCaptain Americawas really made to serve as a logical part of the United States Military , showing a precedent in the Marvel Universe of the government using literal super soldiers . Why kibosh after Cap ? This thought is what head tothe Superhero Registration Act ofCivil War , this offers raw insight into how the government would be able-bodied to drum up support for such an endeavor .
It does make some signified that these heroes , working as private citizen to save the day out of the good of their own hearts , would n’t want to require themselves in something as political as wars between land . But the alternative , or superhumans ' power to helpavoidwar is leave undiscovered , thanks to this issue ’s twist ending ( revealing the public bashing was just a show to deflect attention from the Ithiel Town ’s refugeeInhumans , by suggesting they were anti - superhero ) . No matter how you feel about warfare , and the way heroes take part in them , you ca n’t reason that at the end of the daytime , Johnny Storm is prove to aid how he can . Plus … he ’s not of necessity the good someone to make this kind of argument .
