#Ironman hair do from captin america civil war registration#
Neither hero is dogmatic about his opinion each hero sees the benefits of both liberty and security but draws the line between them in a different spot.įor the purposes of Civil War, Spider-Man is our person on the ground, the one who feels the impact of registration and resistance more personally than either of the figureheads. Captain America values safety, having fought for it in both world war two and the present day, believing that the new legislation will hinder his fellow heroes’ efforts to help people. Iron Man values his fellow superheroes’ freedom, and sees legislation as the best option available to preserve it. He emphasizes the rights of superheroes to their freedom to operate autonomously, as well as to their privacy regarding their true identities – both of which also help them protect civilians as well as their own loved ones.Įven though each hero fights for his position, the real insight comes from the fact that both see the arguments of the other side. On the other side we have Captain America, who stands on principle as a representative of the rule-based ethics known as deontology, most often linked to Immanuel Kant. He realizes public sentiment is turning against unregulated superheroes, and sees the new legislation as the least intrusive way to make ordinary people feel safe again. On one side we have Iron Man, the pragmatist who can see what’s coming and tries to prevent it, along the lines of the school of ethics known as utilitarianism, associated with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill.
