Yes, I understand that. But it's not as black and white as you're making it appear.
Now, answer this as if you were a superhero. For real.
You're a superhero. Doesn't matter what your powers are. You have a loving wife, two kids, and your parents are still alive as well. This is in addition to many close friends, friends that are like brothers to you.
You have extremely powerful enemies. Enemies that could destroy your loved ones with the hand of their hand or use them against you to further their own personal agenda without you interfering. Your only advantage is that they don't know who you are, so they don't know who your loved ones are to attack them.
Now, if you knew for sure, or least 99.9% positive that they would do this if they knew who you were, would you really take such a chance as to register? I know they say it'll be "safe and secured", but how often does that happen in comics? That info will be accessed almost as soon as it's entered. Truthfully, honestly, would you really sign your loved ones' lives over if it meant following the law? Would you really?
