In 2006, Marvel published comics under the label Road to Civil War, such as Amazing Spider-Man #529-531, where Tony Stark (Iron Man) informs Peter Parker (Spider-Man) that congress is once again considering the Superhuman Registration Act, and now also requires registration from humans who only have "powers" due to use of advanced or "exotic" technology. The 2007 series Omega Flight mentions that the law remains in effect and has never resulted in major conflicts between Canadian superheroes (unlike those silly, fight-y Americans). But in 1993, Canada (the Marvel version of it, anyway) passes a similar Super-powers Registration Act. The committee recommends against the SRA and the matter is dropped. Reed also points out that the SRA's definition of "superhuman" is so subjective that several members of congress themselves fall into it. In Fantastic Four #355 and #366, Reed Richards, leader of the FF, testifies before a congressional committee that this is not needed, as superheroes don't need to be hampered by government oversight, while super-villains are already pursued and punished by the law anyway. In 1990, the Superhuman Registration Act is proposed as an expansion of the Mutant Registration Act, requiring registration from humans who aren't born with the mutant X-gene but still gain enhanced abilities and powers. the Superhuman Registration Act is proposed as an expansion of the Mutant Registration Act The Commission on Superhuman Activities (CSA) is formed to oversee the new law, and over the years, heroes such as Captain America, X-Factor and the Avengers have occasional clashes with the CSA as well as its agents who enforce the Mutant Registration Act, such as Mystique and Freedom Force. law - requiring that humans born with mutant powers register with the government after they realize their status. In Uncanny X-Men #181 (1984), the Mutant Registration Act is proposed, and in two issues it becomes U.S. In some ways, Civil War started in 1981 with the X-Men story Days of Future Past, by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, which introduced the idea of mutants and superhumans being monitored and controlled by the government to the Marvel Universe.
