Alright guys we have a Shazam so the search for Shazam event has been nixed. However our dear Captain has a new idea for an event. But before he went ahead with the idea he wants to hear your guys opinions. The power is in your hands so whatever decision is made next is up to you.
EVENT IDEA:
Pro-Government or Anti-Government (example of premise Marvel Civil War)
Reasoning:
If you have been paying attention to what is going on in Queensland park and the aftermath of the Reign of Fear event. People are curious and afraid of the new heroes that claim they can protect them. Yes they knew of the old Justice League but they were gods among men. These new heroes our unknown quantities. So should the government take over instead.
Premise:
After the events of Queensland park the president will make a statement about his thoughts on the masked vigilante growth and will request that they come forth to work with current government organizations. To be trained and tested and in short prove there worth to the american and the rest of the world.
If they should refuse this request they will be treated as vigilante outlaws and a threat to society. In which government agencies like A.R.G.U.S. and the World Army will work together to maintain the peace even if it means to bring down the heroes with the villains.
The Question:
Now not everyone might have enough opinions or care on the matter to participate in an event like this. So this is what we want to know. Do you think your character. Would participate in such an event or would you like to wait and let things play out more naturally and do a different even?
Please vote in the poll tell us your opinions and which side you think your hero or maybe villain would be on, and give us a reason why.

I do have one character that would get involved. Potentially the other pending on how things go.

I think Aquaman would be neutral on this. He doesn't really wear a mask or spends that much time on the surface for vigilantism.. But he'd definitely be swayed to help those vigilantes being unfairly hunted down.

While Alan would stay out of this. Deathstroke might end up on the pro gov side if they hired him. Or the other side if they hired him lol.

Since Al is an agent of STAR, he would probably be forced into the Governmental side of things, though he probably wouldn't be too thrilled about the heroes' tough choice.

But he'd definitely be swayed to help those vigilantes being unfairly hunted down. Makes sense but wouldn't you think Dean is in quite a precarious position politically? I mean, his people did just invade and with how things are going with him needing to be a representative to the surface world for his people somewhat like Aquaman before him and Wonder Woman as the Amazonian counterpart and Damien her heir. So what would you guys have to do in order to decide and what not?

Jonathan is in an odd position himself. He wants to help people, yet keep his identity secret. So he wouldn't step into the fray immediately until he is sure he is doing the right thing.
He could go anti government if the people thing it's a good idea, but if removing his mask helps people sleep at night, he'll do that instead.

Shazam supports the anti-government. No way would Johnny allow someone other than the Wizard to tell him what to do. This is kind of the oppression he'd be devoting himself to fight against anyway.

Circe would certainly fuel the government's actions in going against the heroes to further her own goals.
Hawkgirl would ally with the heroes if the mini event proves successful in her objectives.

Evie (Arturia) would probably laugh in the government's face. She is technically a citizen of the UK, for one, so the worst that the American government could do (that I am aware of, I'm certainly no expert on these things) would be to deport her. Of course, that's if they can even catch her. Her loyalties lie with her friends, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table, and she wouldn't let anyone else boss her around. She HATES being told what to do.
She would definitely get involved, mainly to speak out against the government and help the heroes that were being hunted down.

So what would you guys have to do in order to decide and what not? This is very understandable I suppose, especially if you're going to call Ian to Thymescira in order to put him on trial before the Amazons and Atlanteans. It's gunna be outrageous and crazy to think about how fricking cool this event has the potential to be... My only problem is, a lot of people are gunna go anti-government and as cool as it is to be a "rebel" that just isn't the case. The case is some would want to do what they think is right and what is right to some people at the moment is unmasking the heroes because they are totally new heroes whom they aren't familiar with. It's like Freud's Uncanny theorem but without the automaton elements and stuff. These heroes look familiar but aren't the same. They unfamiliar and people are afraid and quite rightly so... Are you a hero to perpetuate that? If you need help deciding, read Marvel Civil War. Because, well, I reread it today and it changed my perspective on things and even though Ian is firmly anti-government because that is his pre-set character by the looks of things; if needs be, he'd pull a CA.

To be honest, I think I'd prefer Ian being anti-gov. It suits him. It also may put us in line for conflict (and possible capture of Ian for the trial idk).
In summary, I'm not opposed to making Dean Pro-Government. I'll just need a little time to think of the pros/cons weighted.

Daes Hawke I'm going to thoroughly think this over and read Marvel Civil War to help guide my decision. As it stands, I'm definitely not against making Dean Pro-Government. Though I'd definitely want to discuss this with Robotic too. This event could really set the stage for the trial and it would really benefit Atlantis and Themyscira to stand on the same side of this (plus it wouldn't hurt to have another powerhouse help track down vigilantes with Dean).
To be honest, I think I'd prefer Ian being anti-gov. It suits him. It also may put us in line for conflict (and possible capture of Ian for the trial idk).
In summary, I'm not opposed to making Dean Pro-Government. I'll just need a little time to think of the pros/cons weighted. I feel you bro, I feel you. Civil War always tugs on my heart strings.
