      Well it'd be like if the US government passed a law saying: "all people named Britney Spears must immediately be put into a conservatorship." Which would be illegal because the Constitution bans Bills of Attainder.

      You could phrase it as a law regulating everyone who has telekinetic powers, which is probably what they did

      Even that is probably too specific. It's blatantly illegal to put people in detention if it's not part of a criminal process. What they would probably have to do is make using powers illegal. Then wait to catch her doing that. Then jail her pending trial.

      I won't naively say it never happens [See Korematsu]. But look at the Muslim ban. It took 5 attempts over 3 years before it was legal and that was much less targeted than a ban targeting 3 people would be.

      True, but on the other hand "having telekinetic powers" is an objectively serious threat to everyone around her that "being Japanese" or "being Muslim" is not (Which is why I've always disliked the X-Men as a metaphor for racism)

      Right, it seems really obvious, from a dispassionate point of view, that the Lagos incident was an accident that should be classified at worst as reckless use of force - Wanda has no reason to *intentionally* kill civilian bystanders

      I mean I definitely watch Civil War and thought that Iron Man's side had a point. Although, the accords as written are blatantly unconstitutional so I'd probably nominally be in court advocating Caps side. (I guess in this hypothetical I've completed law school already.)

      This is kind of the logical problem with the "superhero genre" and the vague way it defines itself, like theoretically any dipshit can be a "superhero" by putting on a mask, giving themselves a stupid name and extrajudicially assaulting criminals

          The theme of the unsung Mark Millar masterpiece Kick-Ass, which WandaVision can be credited with bringing back into the national conversation

          The hilarious thing about the original comics saying the Registration Act regulates all "costumed vigilantes" is that in real life that's... already pretty regulated We do have laws about putting on a mask and going around beating people up to unilaterally enforce the law

          I always thought a key pillar of the superhero genre was going up against a threat big enough that it wouldn't be worth prosecuting.

          A big part of the theme of Kick-Ass is that because Dave has no real powers or training or tools to begin with, there doesn't seem to be any point to really worrying about the possible collateral damage of his actions

          Remember that shitty Death Wish reboot from 2018? It would have been amazing if it had done a deconstructionist take on the superhero genre the way the original was anti vigilante.

          I've read works where a superhero is a licensed job, and there's an interesting choice if you want superheroes to be cops or vigilantes.
