I know that. I meant what if register as (insert name here)-Man like DC said and I happen to damage something. If the government was never aware of my identity in the first place how can I be held accountable and whats to stop me from just making up another identity for myself. I simply pointing out the flawed logic

I agree but it was a monetary question. How much money does the government and the tax payers save from the heroes doing their thing free of charge. About the young heroes being reckless to me the solution is simple, the X-men trained their mutants to use their powers at the Xaviers Institute, the heroes should do the same, open a facility to rain young people or inexperienced heroes in their use of their powers but run by heroes only.
What kinda security is that if the government isn't aware of exactly whats going on. There is a reason that the X-men aren't really more trusted by the authority figures
Interesting concept...not sure if it's been brought up already.
Why not have the superheroes register with the government...but not have to reveal their secret identities? Really, think about it. What does the government really need to know the identities for? The heroes can still get their government training and get paid to do what they already do. But now they don't have to worry about their identities being found by their enemies.
Seriously, why wouldn't this work?

WhielI think its a good idea I don't think it'll do much to ease the public. Reason being, no one knows who is under the mask. This was discussed in a book, whats to stop a hero from just switching their identity if something bad goes down. If Hero A accidentally causes the death of a few innocents what's to stop him fro dropping that persona and adopting the Hero B persona? The government sure wouldn't know the difference. And where would the justice be? Where woud the accountability fall? I just don't see that working as a long term solution

b) Joining the resistance and either getting caught and running the risk of everything he holds dear or getting lucky and out of government reach.
I like option B the best. Neither is great, but B is preferred.

Err...if the public/government can't see the blatant similarities between two different heroes with the same powers...that's their own damn fault. That's like not being able to tell Clark Kent is Superman.

Thats why I was careful to say trusted more.

Kinda like how everyone could tell Ronin was a woman, that Cap was Nomad and that Spider-Man was once Hornet, Ricochet, Dusk and Prodigy, all four of which I might add seemingly had different powers. Lets not forget that there are a ton of heroes out there who already hace similar powers. When you look at it its not really that hard to do.

So, if I read that correctly, you're agreeing with me right?

No.
He's saying you can't blame the government if they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between two heroes that are the same person. That's a completely silly proposition.
He then went on to give examples: nobody could tell Ronin was a woman, that Captain America was Nomad, and that Spidey was once Hornet, Richochet, Dusk, and Prodigy.
Surely you wouldn't blame the government for not being able to tell two different masked personas apart?
🙂
