In a world where superheroes exist, THW force them to train and register with the government.

Model: We are setting this in a fictional WLD that has people born with superpowers. Essentially, everyone who wants to be a superhero must first take part in a monthlong training session hosted by older superheroes where they learn important skills like conducting themselves, minimizing collateral damage, etc. If they pass this class, they can then receive an official 'certification' from the government to perform superhero duties unencumbered. This also means that the government will know your name, where you live, etc. It is up to you whether you want to reveal this information to anyone else. If you are born with superpowers and do not want to be a superhero, you must take part in the training class, but do not need to perform superhero duties afterwards. 3 reasons for this. 1, accountability. 2, two-way communication, and 3, alleviating personal stress on the superhero. 1. Superheroes, even with the best intentions, frequently end up causing a lot of property deaths and collateral damage in their fights. While some level of this is unavoidable, it is problematic when someone in a mask simply causes damage and disappears into the night, leaving a baffled government to deal with repairs. Knowing that if a superhero gets too careless, there will be actual legal consequences, incentivizes superheroes to be more careful. This training will also enable them to do that, whereas in the status quo, there is less accountability. The knowledge that this accountability exists will also increase public trust in superheroes because they will feel more secure about superheroes. This also means that they will be more likely to cooperate with them, causing fewer collateral deaths. 2. Two-way communication. Under status quo, cops and gvt cannot directly communicate with superheroes if they do not know their identities. This can lead to situations like superheroes busting undercover cops for crimes because they do not know who is who, making it harder for both superheroes and law enforcement to do their jobs. Having the government know who each superhero is and how to contact them can benefit both parties in two ways. First, it will prevent situations like superheroes stopping sting operations, making them more able to focus on stopping actual criminals. Secondly, if a government notices a threat (like aliens, or another country trying to attack them), they can directly contact the superhero, allowing them to assemble more quickly. Under status quo, if I'm a government official who knows an alien evasion is imminent, and knows a superhero called Lightning Man exists but no idea how to contact him, I am not going to be able to get the help I need for my country. This will remedy that problem. 3. Under status quo, superheroes often have to spend a lot of their time making sure their secret identities are not discovered by the police or the government. Why is this? Because currently, the relationships between these groups are very adversarial. Cops HATE Spider-man and don't want him to be on the streets any more BECAUSE of the lack of two-way communication mentioned previously. If training courses exist and governments can safely assume that these superheroes know what they're doing, the relationship will be less adversarial and more cooperative. This will alleviate a lot of stress on the superhero as they no longer need to hide their identity. Ultimately, this will lead to fewer deaths, higher public trust in superheroes, an increased ability for heroes to safely do their jobs in an informed manner, and will make everyone feel more comfortable. We are proud to propose.
