![]() ![]() Thor shows up, but is disgusted at what superheroism has become. ![]() Outside of that, once Cap gives up (quitting instead of turning himself in), the story simply keeps going.Ī device is used to depower offending heroes and Speedball’s “execution” is done publicly. Instead, there’s an even more uncomfortable – and very Mark Millar – plot about a superhero being blackmailed into suicide to save his kidnapped son. The broad strokes are mostly the same, though without everything relating to Goliath’s death. This drives Iron Man into championing the cause and heroes have 28 days to unmask. The big tipping point that sets off the demand for registration is when Speedball fights a villain and Happy Hogan’s son gets killed in the crossfire (as Brevoort is quick to point out, Hogan totally doesn’t have a son). It’s very different from the story we’d eventually get and comes with notes from Joe Quesada and Tom Brevoort (who is the far more critical of the two). Reprinted in the Civil War Script Book, we see Millar’s initial concept for a twelve-issue Civil War miniseries. ![]() That wasn’t how things were originally going to go. Millar was given the assignment and ended up doing his big seven-issue miniseries that turned Marvel’s status quo upside down. The concept of the series came from the mind of Brian Michael Bendis, who bounced ideas off of Mark Millar and later other Marvel writers. ![]()
