Synopsis for "Civil War Part 5 of 7"
We begin with the Human Torch and the Invisible Woman trying to escape a squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. capekillers. (No really, why did the U.S. government think that name was a good idea. Seriously.) Sue turns her and Johnny invisible as Johnny flies them away from the capekillers.
We shift to Nighthawk and Stature joining the Pro-Registration side at Stark Tower. Happy Hogan tells both of them that Tony Stark wants to welcome them personally.
We then cut to Iron Man and Spider-Man squaring off like we left them at the end of Amazing Spider-Man #535. Iron Man tells Spider-Man that he is acting like a lunatic. Iron Man asks Spider-Man to sit down so they can talk rationally. Spider-Man says that the Negative Zone prison is insane. Iron Man says that the Negative Zone prison is only a temporary measure. That there were no normal prisons capable of holding metahumans.
Iron Man says that the government wanted to outlaw all super heroes and that the Registration Act was a compromise. Iron Man tells Spider-Man to think about May and Mary Jane. Spider-Man then punches Iron Man through a wall. Capekillers then enter the room and blast away at Spider-Man. Iron Man yells at the capekillers to hold their fire. The bullets break open the reinforced glass windows of the building allowing Spider-Man to make his great escape.
We cut to Maria Hill telling Tony Stark that she is sending the Thunderbolts after Spider-Man. Iron Man pleads with Maria to just let him try and talk to Spider-Man. Maria denies Iron Man’s request and sends a couple of the new Thunderbolts after Spider-Man. Maria mutters that she knew that they couldn’t ever trust Spider-Man.
We shift to Spider-Man running through the sewers. Suddenly, Spider-Man is attacked by the Jester and Jack O’ Lantern. They two villains say that they may not love working for S.H.I.E.L.D., but they do love the chance to get to beat up on Spider-Man. Jester and Jack O’ Lantern lay a serious beatdown on Spider-Man. But, before they can take Spider-Man into custody, we see bullet blast open Jack O’Lantern’s head. We then see another bullet blast apart the Jester’s head. The Punisher is on the scene to rescue Spider-Man.
We shift to Invisible Woman and Human Torch in their new disguises given to them by Nick Fury. Unfortunately, they have to pose as husband and wife. (Gross.) We see them enter Captain America’s new H.Q. The Anti-Registration heroes are all meeting. They are discussing how Cloak and Dagger got caught by the Pro-Registration side. Captain America is angry that for every person they gain, they lose one to the capekillers. Suddenly, Punisher walks into the room and demands medical attention for a badly beaten Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is taken to the Infirmary. Meanwhile, the Falcon asks Punisher which side he is on. The Punisher responds that now the Pro-Registration side is enlisting the aid of known thieves and killers, he is now on the Anti-Registration side. The various members of Captain America’s team do not want Punisher with them. They don’t want to be so far gone that they are signing up with people like the Punisher. Captain America tells everyone to be quiet while he thinks about letting the Punisher join them or not. We then see Tigra hiding in the shadows while calling someone on her cell phone.
We cut to a squad of capekillers placing Daredevil into custody. Reed Richards and She-Hulk are on the scene. Reed mentions how the public is behind the Pro-Registration side and so is the U.S. government. That crime is at an all time low. That the only people causing problems are other super heroes in the Anti-Registration side. Reed laments that he wishes he never go involved. That he is sick that they are using the criminal lunatics in the Thunderbolts. That Hank Pym is doped up on anti-depressants. She-Hulk responds that public opinion would have forced S.H.I.E.L.D. to bring down every single super hero in America. That the public was sick of 16 year old kids blowing up buildings. That Reed and Tony Stark gave everyone a future.
We shift to Tony Stark accompanying Daredevil to the Negative Zone prison. Tony tells Daredevil that he hates hunting down his friends, but there was no other option. That the U.S. government was going to institute a complete ban on all super heroes and this Registration Act was the only other option.
Tony tells Daredevil of their plans for fifty super teams spread over all fifty states. Each one license and accountable to the taxpayer. It is the next stage of superhuman evolution: a Federal force from coast to coast. Tony asks Daredevil to join him and to lead one of these fifty teams. One of the guards then pulls out a silver dollar from Daredevil’s mouth and gives it to Tony. Daredevil comments that Tony now has thirty-one pieces of silver. Daredevil then says “Sleep well, Judas.”
