They have to put their trust of their identity's in the government. They clearly don't trust the government otherwise they would be pro-reg. They don't get government support and can even be arrested for making decisions that go against governmental/S.H.I.E.L.D directive, despite what they believe to be right or wrong. I have no issue with registering heroes.I have an issue with the risk of that breaking out and i have an issue with heroes being controlled by the government
Exactly, now we are stuck with a group of heroes who have to wait for permission to act in order to save lives instead of doing what's right. Also what happens when the gov control over the heroes become corrupted then what they are suppose to sit idly by while some gov official who obviously is doing something wrong gets away with it? I remember once spider-man was commenting on a case he was investigating stating that he was able to progress much faster and solve the situation quicker because he can simply bypass all the red tape that the police would have to go through. The heroes are suppose to stand for the people not the gov

My posts are about the premise of the registration act, not the execution.
The way in which Marvel have chosen to portray registration, how it's been executed and follow on effects, are irrelevant to what I wrote.
The premise of registration was fine when it was applied (only) to those who of their own volition perform costumed heroics. Nobody has the "right" to be a vigilante; so it's a perfectly reasonable request.
When it began being about powered people, the premise became muddled, despite being a better allegory.
here's the deal though the mutant registration act was never taken seriously, sure the act was past and it created quite a buzz for a little while but it fallen the way of so many laws that are made, but never enforced.

That was before he started jobbing and forgetting his powers. He basically told them at the time to go **** themselves and stop bothering him before he turns them into mice.
As a result, the gov. said he was exempt and to not bother him.
