Line 22:
** Also, Reed Richards being Pro-Reg in the first place, when in the past he explicitly said the idea of a SHRA was a stupid idea and spent an entire issue (''[[Fantastic Four]] #336'') outlining the reasons for why passing one would cause more harm than good. And no, he never was shown changing his mind, since he has always had an extremely dim opinion of the government's ability to deal with superheroes. It was just a irrational flash of whatthehellery that handwaved decades of past characterization. Not to mention that he is so ethical he once saved ''Galactus's'' life because he could not rationalize letting an unmalicious being die, yet during Civil War decided it was a good idea to make, program, and sic an evil Thor clone on his friends.
* Before the SHRA was a law, Cap is walking around with Maria Hill, and he says he won't enforce the SHRA. She immediately tries to arrest him. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|He beats up several soldiers, jumps out the window, and hijacks a fighter jet from the outside by embedding his shield into the canopy and telling the pilot where he wants to go]]. Awesome as it is, it still doesn't change that Hill tried to arrest him for saying he would not enforce a law that wasn't in force yet. The most they should've been able to do is court-martial and ''fire'' him, ''like they've done before'' - and even THAT assumed that Hill, as director of SHIELD, actually had the authority to do so (Whether or not SHIELD was an international group or under the Department of Defense seemed to change [[Depending on the Writer]].)
** It gets worse. Cap has been in the Army more than long enough to qualify for retirement (time spent "missing in action" is counted as time spent actively serving for purposes of pay, allowances, and retirement eligibility, so Cap's been on active duty for 60+ years), so if he doesn't like his next assignment he has every right to say 'Fuck this shit, I quit', and legally the Army has to let him unless the President has already declared a global freeze on discharges and separations due to an ongoing war. They can't even court-martial him for refusing his orders -- the most they can do is ask him to hand the shield and the costume back (as those are government property) and send him off to enjoy civilian life. ''As they already did once before during the John Walker arc''.
* In ''[[Ultimate Fantastic Four]]'', evil zombie counterparts of the eponymous team are locked up in a high security cell. Evil!Mister Fantastic tells the guards that he converted a ballpoint pen into a teleporter and is about to set the team free. The four disappear, and the guards think they are gone and open the door to the cell. What they planned to do if it had been a teleporter is unknown. But stopping a second to consider that one of the baddies involved could turn things and people ''invisible'' would have been a good idea.
** The evil zombies [[Lampshading|immediately point out how stupid the guards are]] for taking such obvious bait before, y'know, devouring their flesh.
