Surely this one only REALLY applies to Jason Todd, but even he came back.....if Batman wants to dress his adopted children up in skimpy outfits, parade them around his secret lair and then send them out to take down psychopaths and gunmen, that's his perogative.....I see nothing weird about that....
Seriously? 😕

Wolverine, for carrying a concealed weapon (well, six of them), every time he enters a public building or uses public transport.

I don't know if bodyparts count no matter how sharp they are.

Mystique (does she count?), for numerous counts of identity theft and impersonating federal officials.

Mystique has also punched Carol Danver's boyfriend to DEATH!

NO, SARCASM. 😐

Wonder Woman and her false identities working as a government agent...sounds more like identity theft and or false identity in a government high secured job.. probably also espionage a federal crime probably also falls under the patriot act..

anyways its a 2 yr mandatory time in prison..

Xavier is a genetic/race-orientated terrorist. I think his stance out of the three main opposing factions within the X-universe is certainly the most logically and ethically sound, but he's still a terrorist, by law.

how so?

He refuses to conform to any form of imposed government registration and is responsible for organising numerous examples of assault and public property damage that has resulted indirectly in countless deaths.

Ultimate Xavier was a wanted man along with Magneto. Xavier was captured and only exonerated after his X-men captured Mags; the real mutant terrorist.

It could be argued that these are human laws which only apply to humans, not mutants but I don't think that holds any water in terms of MU law enforcement.

Or were you asking why Xavier's viewpoint was the most logically sound? 🙂

Is warlock a hero?I think sucking out someones soul might be considered murder.

She wasn't spying on the US for anyone else, though.

Working under a false identity, yea. Not identity theft, though, she didn't take anyone else's.

The X-men have worked with the government on numerous occasions, I think government contacts is where he even got the Blackbird and such to begin with. He also has SHIELD contacts. They aren't quite Avengers-level connected, but I do think they have a legal existence as a crime fighting group.

Heck, after M-Day, the government's response was "Put 100% of the mutant population into Xavier's protective custody."

Also, I do believe most of said 'assaults' are against terrorists, criminals, and the like to begin with.

Adam Warlock? Yes, but I think it'd be hard to find a time he used it outside of imminent major threats.

or on an earth human.. i dont think he has ever used it on an earthen.

Spiderman: Vigilantism, Assault and Battery(criminals & Cops), resisting arrest...fleeing the scene of a crime/accident.

batman was a pedophile.

Vigilantism is illegal.

Punisher : Murder

In original continuity she actually did. Diana Prince was a real woman in the US military. When the original left the country permanently to live with her husband, Wonder Woman used her documents to fake her identity and continue living as Diana Prince in the US, and later get a job in military intelligence. She did it with the original's permission, but still TOTALLY ILLEGAL!!!

I'm not saying there aren't incidents where the X-men have worked side by side with the government just that their history is soooo long and convoluted that there are examples of them playing on both sides of the legal fence. Ultimate Xavier was being hunted down and was captured by SHIELD before they freed him and worked with him and that's the modern, less continuity ridden version of the character.

As for M-day, you're absolutely right but remember that the O.N.E Sentinels were watching them and the X-men were not supposed to leave the grounds without supervision, which they frequently did anyway.

If they attack a terrorist does that not still make their illegal activities any less of an act of terroism? I don't know enough about how the legal system works to answer that, but I would guess that if Hamas and the Taliban fought, it would still be a terrorist on terrorist fiasco.

Add extortion to the list of crimes against Superman!
(A list mostly made of fashion crimes. 😛 )

Hah, yea, I forgot about that 🙂

Daredevil

murder, vigilantism, assault and battery with a deadly weapon

a lot of his convictions and trials would get reviewed many over turned b/c of what he does on his off time in costume.

not only is he responsible for beating some of them and dragging them to justice but he has even argued for and against them.

at the very least he get disbarred.
