* 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 addition, in NEW AVENGERS #4, published only shortly before this arc, it was explicitly shown that Director Hill is ''not'' in Cap's chain of command and does not have the legal authority to order him to do a single damned thing he doesn't feel like doing. In fact, Cap's chain of command was clarified in that issue -- the one person who can give Cap orders is the President of the United States, and even that ceases to exist the day Cap chooses to retire.
* 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.
