Talk:Discrimination against superheroes

message: Didn't the Incredibles deal with something like this... why Mr. Incredible was working a desk job and wasn't allowed to use his powers?  The lawsuits, not actually a federal law, but effectivly the same.
:I thought of including the Incredibles, but I figured that the ``Non-Marvel equivalents`` section of the article (which is the natural place to put a ref to the Incredibles) of the article is really about instances where the government intervened or passed legislation concerning super-heroes, not just where the government helped super-heroes or where the government were involved in ther mass retirement of super-heroes. 
:As you point out yourself, in the Incredibles it was personal injury lawsuits that led to the super-heroes retiring, though they then got help from a witness protection-like government scheme. Its a similar scenario in some ways to the Justice Society, Powers and Watchmen cases though only in that it involves super-heroes retiring. Sure the government got involved in that process, but I dont think that retirement was mandatory - though I could be wrong and if so it does warrant a mention. However if not, then Id say that it doesnt, if the article tried to mention every interaction super-heroes have had with the government then it would go way off the point and be far too long.

message: "Also Iron Man's position in the Civil War storyline as a super-hero who is involved in the crafting of a regulatory system for his own community which seeks to protect it from its perceived self-destructive tendencies but ultimately proves overly restrictive to the rights and freedoms of expression of the community´s individual members may be a metaphor for the involvement of the major comic companies' with the creation of the Comics Code Authority in the 1950s." 
That's major wordy. Any suggestions on how to improve it? I'm at a loss but it doesn't work the way it is now. ZachsMind 00:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Although this is an interesting idea, original research does not belong on Wikipedia. Consequently, I have removed this paragraph from the article. If this is not original research, then it needs to be cited. If this happens, one way to make this sentence more comprehensible would be to split it up:Also Iron Man's position in the Civil War storyline as a super-hero who is involved in the crafting of a regulatory system for his own community may be a metaphor for the involvement of the major comic companies with the creation of the Comics Code Authority in the 1950s. Like the Comics Code Authority, the Super-human Registration Act seeks to protect a community from its perceived self-destructive tendencies but ultimately proves overly restrictive to the rights and freedoms of expression of the community´s individual members.Cheers, --GentlemanGhost 22:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Something isn't right. In the New Warriors incident, I thought it was something like only 80 dead kids and hundreds of dead adults. At the very least, many adults died too. It should be mentioned. I checked my copy of Civl War #1...nothing.

message: Why is the title of this article plural, and why the uppercase A? The move discussion above focused on keeping "(comics)" in the title, but completely missed that moving this from "acts" to "Acts" didn't make sense, and that it should've been moved to "act". --77.173.90.33 (talk) 11:04, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
