Captain America: Civil War - 11 Things From The Original Story They Can't Show You
9. Johnny Storm Gets Glassed
The Civil War very nearly tore Marvels First Family apart, with Reed being firmly entrenched as the brains behind the Pro-Registration side (making some very questionable decisions in the process) and the rest of the family being Anti-Registration. After the Stamford incident, the positive public consensus against superheroes quickly begins to shift. Johnny Storm bears the brunt of this when he is accused as a baby killer and is glassed and stomped outside of a nightclub. What appears to be a minor incident in the grand scheme of things sets the tone for the rest of the series and makes many of the heroes realize that this new societal attitude is not going to disappear swiftly. This would have been a welcome scene in the reviled Fantastic Four reboot but its not one that will be happening in the Civil War film, what with FOX being content to keep throwing money at a franchise that they should leave well enough alone.
