While the legislation in the movie version of events is the Sokovian Accords - a version of which was released with the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 Box Set - the comic book incarnation’s is the Superhero Registration Act. No wonder other countries want to get all these American superheroes under control. This makes sense in the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, considering that much of the movies’ action set pieces have taken place outside of the U.S.: Thor: The Dark World laid waste to parts of the United Kingdom while Avengers: Age of Ultron did the same to the fictional European country of Sokovia. It’s worth noting that the comic book Civil War is explicitly about United States authoritarian oversight - Ben Grimm of the Fantastic Four simply moves to France to avoid the trouble - whereas the movie version appears to be an international issue. government into action, while Cap’s stance is one of principle against what he sees as an infringement of individual liberty rather than anything he’s personally connected to.
In the comic book Civil War, the scale is at once smaller and less intimate: An explosion resulting from a superhero battle in the town of Stamford, Conn., prompts the U.S.
Judging from the trailers released to date, the plot catalyst in Captain America: Civil War is an international incident that pushes political powers to require more oversight of superhero activities, with Captain America forced to turn on the other heroes in order to keep the Winter Soldier - his wartime comrade, Bucky Barnes - out of captivity. So where do the two stories differ? Below is a primer. Captain America: Civil War might share a title and a gimmick - it’s Captain America versus Iron Man, each with their own gang of superheroes to back them up! - with the 2006 comic book Civil War, but it’s far from a straight adaptation of the fan-favorite Mark Millar/Steve McNiven series.
