Sigh, this is just a rip off of Marvel's extended storyline of "The Mutant Registration Act" of the 1980s and more recently in the "Civil War" story arc.

It was first used in Uncanny X-Men #181.

 

[Felon]

Yup, another bad episode completely undeserving of its own thread.

Yeah, like it makes a lot of sense to hold Green Arrow up as a posterboy for the act, and then immediately toss him into a hole.

And why do they keep talking as if superheroes were commonplace now? To the public's knowledge, there's Green Arrow, the mysterious Blur, and then....who? What exactly do they need an act for?

It's all so very stupid.

Uncanny X-Men #141 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne

#181 dealt with Secret Wars I believe.

Well, he's just an old out-of-shape guy, not some buff super-soldier, albeit with an eye-patch by the end of the episode.

n Japan, children are witness to the return of the X-Men from the Secret Wars. The X-Men came back from the Beyonder's planet with a giant-sized dragon. The dragon begins wreaking havoc in Tokyo with the X-Men saving lives and trying to prevent further damage. They are joined by local mutant super-hero Sunfire, also a former X-Man. Meanwhile, apart from his colleagues, Cyclops returns to Earth to be welcomed by an angry and worried Madelyne Pryor. In Tokyo, Wolverine saves a little girl, Amiko, and promise to her dying mother to raise her as his own. Eventually, the dragoness launches a final assault on the X-Men only to be stopped by Lockheed who had befriended her during the Secret Wars. By the end of the issue, Senator Kelly wants to introduce his project of the Mutant Registration Act to the Congress.
