Captain America: Civil War - 8 Ways It'll Be Nothing Like The Comics

8. No Secret Identities, No Superhero Registration Act

The Civil War of the comics really kicks into gear when the government passes a bill known as the Superhero Registration Act. This is to force all of the superheroes to work under government regulation, with tasks suited to their powers, effectively becoming something akin to a superpowered police force. The other big part of that, and one of the things that plays out throughout the story, is that they must also reveal their identities. The problem with that is there aren't really any superheroes with secret identities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man revealed himself to the world, Captain America is a legend, Spider-Man hasn't even been introduced yet. There's someone like Daredevil, but regardless of the success and quality of the TV series, that isn't going to be enough in the movie. So already one of the big themes cannot be used. Therefore the Superhero Registration Act won't be called that either, with it instead believed to focus on something called the Sokovia Accords. It's not known exactly what these are, but it doesn't take much to presume they'll be related to the events in Age of Ultron. It'll be more about accountability, as opposed to identities.
