How it began....
It began with the Avengers, torn apart from within, earth's mightiest heroes lost faith in there mission and disbanded. A dark rift was formed and it was only a matter of time before that gap widened, and others fell in it as well. Though it seemed impossible to believe the Avengers were nearly the first team to be disassembled (Avengers Disassembled). In the wake of these events, a disagreement arose over how best to deal with those responsible.
A series of strange events in Genosha changed the world changed reality itself over night. Suddenly the great mutant population has been reduced to a mere fraction of it's formal size. The Secret behind this depowering is known only to a few(House of M). Then....The Hulk seemed to have vanished. Once his path of destruction could be tracked miles above the earth, and then nothing.
No one has seen him in months. Some say he has been tamed, others say he died. The truth of it is far more frighting and has much greater consequences (Planet Hulk). Since the early dawn of the Marvels there has been a secret gathering, a collection of the brightness, most powerful leaders of there community, they have not always seen eye to eye. A recent decision has torn them apart. Where they once stood united they now face one another. Mistrust, brewing (Illuminati).
Disassembled, decimated, and divided. The world is growing darker, secret committees are meeting, deals are being made, and sides are forming. Thing that were once thought lost has resurfaced. Old wounds are reopening and forgotten threats are returning. Civil War it seems is inevitable the world is holding it's breath. Who will fire the opening shot?
Civil War
During a televised raid of a house containing select villains that had recently escaped from the super villain facility at Ryker's Island prison during a massive breakout, the escaped villain Nitro let off a massive explosion that killed the majority of the New Warriors, as well as the children at a nearby elementary school. In the wake of the tragedy, the U.S. Government proposed the Superhuman Registration Act, intending to register all super-powered beings as living weapons of mass destruction and requiring all costumed heroes to unmask themselves before the government and subject themselves to federally mandated standards.
This event triggered negative public opinion against the super-heroes, resulting in the assault of Human Torch (Johnny Storm) by a mob and the request by S.H.I.E.L.D. for Captain America to become part of the enforcement of super heroes to register. When Cap refused, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill ordered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Anti-Superhuman Response Unit to tranquilize him, but Rogers escaped and went underground.
When the super-heroes met to discuss the best course of action, Uatu the Watcher appeared. As Watchers only appear to monitor key events throughout history, it was noted that his presence did not bode well for the heroes.
