Captain America: Civil War Page #3

Synopsis: With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spider-Man) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.

Perspective.

The world owes the Avengers

an unpayable debt.

You have fought for us...

protected us, risked your lives...

but while a great many people

see you as heroes...

there are some...

who would prefer the word "vigilantes."

What word would you use, Mr Secretary?

How about "dangerous"?

What would you call a group

of US-based, enhanced individuals...

who routinely ignore sovereign borders...

and inflict their will

wherever they choose...

and who, frankly, seem unconcerned

about what they leave behind?

New York.

Washington, D.C.

Sokovia.

Lagos.

Okay. That's enough.

For the past four years,

you've operated with unlimited power...

and no supervision.

That's an arrangement the governments

of the world can no longer tolerate.

But I think we have a solution.

The Sokovia Accords.

Approved by 117 countries...

it states that the Avengers

shall no longer be a private organisation.

Instead...

they'll operate under the supervision

of a United Nations panel...

only when and if that panel

deems it necessary.

The Avengers were formed to

make the world a safer place.

I feel we've done that.

Tell me, Captain, do you know

where Thor and Banner are right now?

If I misplaced a couple of

30 megaton nukes...

you can bet there'd be consequences.

Compromise. Reassurance.

That's how the world works.

Believe me, this is the middle ground.

So, there are contingencies.

Three days from now,

the UN meets in Vienna...

to ratify the Accords.

Talk it over.

And if we come

to a decision you don't like?

Then you retire.

Hello?

Is this your car out front?

I jumped the kerb.

Maybe we could...

take care of it ourselves.

If you wanna call the cops,

that's okay, too...

- I guess.

- No.

No cops.

Thank you.

You have kept your looks, Colonel.

Congratulations.

"Mission report. December 16, 1991."

Who are you?

My name is Zemo.

I will repeat my question.

Mission report, December 16, 1991.

How did you find me?

When S.H.I.E.L.D. fell...

Black Widow released

HYDRA files to the public.

Millions of pages. Much of it encrypted.

Not easy to decipher.

But, I have experience.

And patience.

A man can do anything if he has those.

What do you want?

Mission report.

December 16.

Go... to... hell!

HYDRA deserves its place on the ash heap.

So your death would not bother me.

But I'd have to use this book...

and other bloodier methods

to find what I need.

I don't look forward to that.

You'd only be dying for...

your pride.

Hail HYDRA.

Secretary Ross has

a Congressional Medal of Honour...

which is one more than you have.

So let's say we agree to this thing.

How long is it gonna be before they

LoJack us like a bunch of common criminals?
