Super Registration Act	comment	Any law that requires Super Heroes (or, really, anyone with superpowers) to be registered with the government in a national database (including the name and residence of each hero's Secret Identity) or face penalties. This was codified with the Marvel Comics' X-Men in the form of the "Mutant Registration Act", where it provided a metaphor for discussing racial, LGBT, and/or communist discrimination. It has also been used as a metaphor for American Gun Politics; after all, villains don't have to register with a Weird Trade Union in order to start robbing banks or tying women to railroad tracks, any more than a criminal needs a licensed weapon to commit a crime. While sometimes the act can take the benevolent, unobtrusive form of a government-sponsored Hero Secret Service complete with Hero Insurance, in most cases the law is antagonistic in and of itself, whose only purpose is to prohibit superheroes from using their powers recklessly (or usually at all), or in the worst case scenario, is the first step to full-scale Superhuman Trafficking. Of course, no supervillain in their right mind would bother obeying the terms of this law, however registration would allow for identification of Supers that later become villainous or the prosecution of Supers that attempt to conceal their powers with the assumption that such an act would be later used for criminal or nefarious purposes. "Failure to register" could even be used as a charge of last resort in the absence of other evidence, much in the same way gangsters have been charged with tax evasion. A registration act often allows the "outlaws" to know in advance which potential victims possess or do not possess super powers or limit a Supers' ability to defend themselves. When this trope is invoked enforcement of the act often permits the supervillains to do even more damage than usual as potential heroes are inhibited from acting freely. The situation is often resolved when the 'real' heroes defy the act by stopping the Big Bad the registered crimefighters missed, prompting a Reset Button hit on the whole thing. Even though the law is meant to approximate just how The Government would react to superpowered vigilantes showing up in Real Life, it's not often that the law comes about purely as a result of normal civil processes, intelligent debate, or genuine public outrage. This is because comic books, like most serial works, operate on Rule of Fun, being escapist fiction where the stakes depend on one lone individual or a small group, which is hampered when your favorite character punches a clock and answers to "The Man". Exposing the act as the latest plot of some supervillain makes it easier to hit the Reset Button because Status Quo Is God. Is probably best addressed in universes with a system of psychic or telepathic powers where unidentified users would represent an extreme invasion of privacy risk let alone issues with business transactions or games that involve use of secret information. Actually implementing such a system is of course a tricky proposition, given the fact your targets can do things like erase your memories or blow up tanks by pointing at them, and depends on whether you're registering super humans or super heroes. In Real Life identification of a super abusing their powers could result in forfeiture of their property, termination of their employment and general suspension of their normal relationships and interactions if they are branded as a wanted felon without any need to apprehend or imprison the suspect. Of course in fictional worlds, villains may not have a good work-life balance needed for this punishment to stick. Sometimes, superhero fiction writers may bring this trope up as means of creating an ethical dilemma within the superhero community and thus, deconstructing Black-and-White Morality and opening things up to Grey-and-Gray Morality. Lawful Good superheroes will often try to work with the law to see what is best for the public and superheroes alike, although some may venture into the Knight Templar territory at worst. Neutral Good superheroes will be the most divisive in the issue, as some superheroes will raise concern whether or not the law will allow the superhero community to continue to do what is right for everyone, or if the law will allow lawfully inclined supervillains to abuse the said law. Chaotic Good superheroes who disregard all laws that get in the way of doing what's right will obviously oppose the superhuman registration act anyways. For policing super-humans: A: Create a non-superpowered combat force with top-of-the-line training and the best equipment money can buy. Sometimes these agents act as a special crimes unit; other times, it's a superspy/black ops agency. This organization doesn't necessarily need superhuman support, but may begin to dehumanize their enemies. B: Recruit a group of right-thinking, like-minded Supers to enforce the system. Probably the most common solution, but the new organization may turn out to have no use for the people who create it. For policing super heroes: C: Recruit a group of evil, criminal-minded supervillains to police the heroes. The local Tailor-Made Prison filled with the heroes' Rogues Gallery should provide no shortage of potential Boxed Crooks for your Badass Crew. Some of the less bloodthirsty and more sympathetic ones might pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn from the allure of working on the side of the angels; for the rest, it would be a smart idea to secure their loyalty with an Explosive Leash implanted in the base of their spinal columns. Even with such precautions though, this is a dangerous proposition, and is liable to push people against registration. D: Create a PR campaign and outreach program that emphasizes the perks of registration: Hero Insurance to repair collateral damage and protection against civil lawsuits, a possible government salary and training to develop your powers and people-saving skills. Works best to draft/enlist the top tier superheroes, so that second and third stringers that look up to them will be inspired to register. However, if any of the A-listers decide to go against it, the hero community could be embroiled in a civil war that makes both sides look bad. E: Don't make a big deal out of it; trying to force a large number of superhumans into doing something is a pre-emptive measure. Instead, wait until you have a suspect safely under the Power Nullifiers, then ask if he has registered his powers. It works for the cops in Powers. See also the Ban on Magic, a restriction on how, when, or by whom magic can be used.

Super Registration Act / int_12300cc3	comment	In Watchmen, the rise of costumed vigilantes in The '30s resulted in Congressional legislation authorizing superhero activities — which was repealed in The '70s after fed-up police went on strike nationwide and mass rioting ensued. After the "Keene Act" is passed, the only superheroes permitted to ply their trade legally are those who work full-time for the government, including the world's only genuine superhuman. The Minutemen also faced the House Un-American Activities Committee. They came up with a compromise to the request to identify themselves to the committee: Each member was to reveal their identity to one member of the Committee. That member was to put their name into the enormous stack of names they wanted the FBI to do a background check on without any flags reading 'this person is <Superhero name>'. Then they would speak to the committee as a whole in their costumed persona. As a result, the heroes were investigated in their true identities, while limiting the number of people who knew who they really were. The only member of the Minutemen to not accept this compromise, Hooded Justice, resigned. Unfortunately, it's implied that he was tracked down in his civilian identity and killed shortly thereafter (probably by the Comedian, due to a previous grudge between them).

As it cannot force these girls to register, the CDD instead runs extensive PR campaigns, using the image of successful magical girls as celebrities to extol the many benefits of registering. True to their word, they offer numerous benefits in order to entice girls to comply — registered magical girls are eligible for an exclusive private education, have access to their own personal counselors, and, as one recruitment poster cheerfully states, have a 70% lower risk of being killed or seriously injured.

Super Registration Act / int_1bdeba5a	comment	The X-Men have brought this up as a plot every few years. The terms of the act weren't always consistent but they dealt with the broad idea of mutants being free to use their powers clashing with the need for ordinary humans to be protected from dangerous and/or evil mutants. The debate was almost always slanted by anti-mutant bigotry/giant-mutant-hunting robots; as in the words of Moira MacTaggert: The Days of Future Past storyline featured the most extreme version of a MRA where ordinary humans with the mutant gene were barred from having kids and mutants were rounded up into concentration camps.

It comes in handy when Judgement investigates crimes: as long as they can identify the ability, they can track potential suspects. The only exceptions are "Gemstone" espers: those who came by their powers naturally. But such espers are extremely rare (there are only fifty existing worldwide), and they often end up coming to Academy City anyway since they and their powers will be accepted there.

Bonobos, gleeches, and hibernoids were allowed to stay on Earth so long as they were registered. Thirteens, seen as too dangerous, were either imprisoned, killed, or shipped off to Mars where they join the terraforming effort. Like many laws, it can be subverted.

Anything else is treason, punishable by death. This is because shortly after superpowers first appeared, Glasgow was completely destroyed, with no survivors.

Super Registration Act / int_2e849915	comment	Furthermore, its spin-off series (taking place years before the main one), My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, focuses on unregistered vigilantes. The main protagonist, Kouichi Haimawari, actually applied to the heroing school, but ended up unable to enter, ironically because he was late for it because he was saving someone else's life. While he still does its best, it's clear that being unregistered has its downsides. The big example is when he meets Tensei Iida, Tenya's older brother. The two hit off splendidly, with the latter helping the former better utilize his sliding Quirk and even offers him a card for a potential job at his organization. However, things change when he realizes Kouichi is a Vigilante when he helps stop a villain. While Tensei is more than happy for the help and doesn't report him, he ends up asking for the card back since he can't endorse what is essentially a lawbreaker, much to Kouichi's dismay.

Super Registration Act / int_2fce14ae	comment	Wearing the Cape: A running sideplot of the first two books is some extremists trying to get a law passed that will not only require all people with powers be registered, but that their powers and locations be constantly available on a public database. There already is a limited registration in place; anyone who wants to work as a Crisis Aid and Intervention hero has to register with the government; even if they have a Secret Identity, they have to disclose it to the government, though actual secret identities are rare and usually don't last long. Part of the Dark Anarchist's goal is to pass this law — not because he thinks it's a good thing, but to "rip the band-aid off" and push past it as fast as possible, giving the world a few years of enslaved superhumans rather than decades. The Teatime Anarchist thinks it's better to avert the whole situation entirely. It's mentioned that most countries use some variant of the American system (which has problems, but works well enough) or they register and draft all their superhumans (which quickly blows up). Japan combines both: Mandatory registration and training, but voluntary government service. Because of Japan's strong culture of obedience, combine with the training emphasizing the duty they have to serve the public with their powers, most superhumans join one of the government teams. Those who do not are labeled Rōnin, and most right-thinking Japanese treat them as little better than criminals. And while a fair number of ronin work for the Yakuza, many more work for various international aid organizations or do minor domestic jobs. There is also a significant counter-culture that idolizes the ronin, which Hope says at least makes more sense than the American villain culture that idolizes actual criminals.

Super Registration Act / int_4064f208	comment	The first edition of White Wolf's Aberrant had a rather underhanded variety. While there is no official law requiring Novas to register, their powers tend to be hard to control without specialized training and medical care. Both are available only from Project Utopia, so most of them end up there, policing their "unenlightened" brethren. In the process they're also unknowingly sterilized. It should be no surprise that the setting concludes with every Nova on Earth discovering this fact and going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge that pretty much wrecks the entire world — after which the authorities destroy all records of their crimes, claim that all Novas inevitably go insane, and systematically kill them from that point on. On a lighter note, there are also image firms like Appellate Lexington, that will register a super identity and make up a costume for you. Of course, the next page has an anonymous Op Net user declaring the firms as a Utopia net to catch (identify/keep tabs) those Novas that evade Project Utopia's Rashoud Facilities. The second edition, by contrast, does away with the spoilered element, as part of the general lightening of the setting.

Super Registration Act / int_408f2564	comment	Coreline: In the setting's Backstory, the attempt by various Alternates of Tony Stark (yeah, you read that right, plural) to launch the Super-Human Registration Act on The Line was a partial success... after some toil and a few random battles and everybody hating on how bad Civil War (2006) got (the setting is keen on Breaking the Fourth Wall, with information troves like the actual comics, Wikis and this very page available to everybody). "Partial" in that what they wanted, which was at best the S.H.R.A. as was exactly written on the Marvel Universe (with all the jack-booted Jerkassery that would have legally allowed) and at worst a legal way to conscript all of the super-humans in the United States into the armed forces, was not approved. The Line's version of the S.H.R.A. is not legally pressing for people who don't want to be superheroes (if you have powers and saved somebody's life but you just pulled the Heroic Bystander/Badass Bystander act, you won't get Cape Busters after you), and those who do get benefits from registering, such as a U.N.-approved I.F.F. code for international operations and optional training plus a higher chance of being head-hunted by groups like the Justice League Unlimited and Avengers Infinity (or deputy status in law enforcement agencies/being allowed to become a member of said agencies and still use your costume as long as you identify yourself as a member) and you can use your hero identity in court.

Students at Whateley Academy can choose to either 'voluntarily' get one or be expelled. There are separate categories of cards for Heroes, Villains, Vigilantes, Students and Civilians. Offenders are issued a "Villain" card upon release from prison since villains can't be expected to voluntarily register, which effectively locks them into a villainous lifestyle even if they want to go straight.

Super Registration Act / int_4f091b42	comment	The Super Registration Act has been implemented in the Tiger & Bunny universe for at least several decades and generally works without a hitch. The Justice Bureau approves all heroes and allows them to sign up with a sponsor company and serve as private law enforcement/celebrities (technically, it's possible to be a free agent without a sponsor, but it's almost unheard of). While only NEXT have been shown to be active as heroes, presumably anyone without a criminal record has the opportunity to become one. Any hero under investigation for criminal behavior is suspended until they're cleared of all charges. Damages are handled either by the sponsor company or, if a judge rules that property damage was necessary in order for a hero to do their job properly, by the state. However, the execution is marred by the very influential (the Mayor seems unwilling/unable to disagree with him) Maverick's collusion with Ouroborus to 'promote' NEXTs as superheroes, and the fact the judge that oversees hero-related cases is himself secretly a vigilante and killer.

Super Registration Act / int_5b3f67f1	comment	Used as part of the setting of the anime/manga Psychic Squad. Schools regularly scan students for psychic powers and give mandatory psychic power suppressing limiters to those who have them (which marks them as espers to the general populace, who often discriminate against them). For the people too powerful to be completely limited, it is illegal for them to attend school unless they're part of a military organization that guarantees that they're under control. Presumably this extends to adult society as well, although it's never shown. Unlike the other examples, registration is portrayed as a good thing, or at least as the best compromise that can be achieved when there's both humans and espers advocating genocide. Espers with future predicting powers have predicted that this will directly cause the downfall of humanity, by inciting a muggle vs esper civil war (which the espers will win, by destroying everything). A major ongoing plot is whether it can be averted via positive relationships between the main characters (the 3 strongest espers and their muggle "handler").

Considering that most powers in the film are small-scale, low-budget and don't cause nearly as much property damage as you see in comic book panels, the knee-jerk reaction falls partly into Adaptation Explanation Extrication.

Weapons must attend the DWMA until they are deemed capable of controlling their abilities, in an effort to stem the Fantastic Racism that used to run rampant. This law is the reason why Soul, who came from a wealthy family, ever joined the DWMA in the first place. Meisters, on the other hand, are not required to train there, since they're not by definition anything but regular people who learn how to use weapons. Even the weapons are not required to fight anyone as most of the cast of Soul Eater do; only the NOT class (which teaches weapons to control their own powers) is mandatory, while the ones who fight evil for Lord Death and try to become Death Scythes volunteered for and were accepted for the EAT class.

Super Registration Act / int_6a4c8f1b	comment	One-Punch Man features the Heroes Association and their National Superhero Registry, which takes in and sponsors superheroes, tests them on their capability as a hero, and assigns them ranks and classes based on their abilities. Unlike most cases, operating as an unregistered hero isn't technically illegal, but unregistered heroes are not taken seriously by the general public. The titular character starts out as a "hero for fun" who was blissfully unaware that registration was even a thing (somehow) and does not start receiving any form of public recognition for his acts of heroism until well after he has already prevented several potentially city-destroying incidents. The registration system in play is often shown to be ludicrously wrongheaded despite the good intentions of those in charge. Many registered supers are Nominal Heroes at best; with the top ranking heroes including a Mad Scientist who is only interested in testing out his latest inventions (and who never appears in person, using remote-controlled robots to fight for him), a Bishōnen actor/singer/model who would rather promote himself than save people, and countless others who are only looking to improve their rankings and will actively attempt to sabotage or defame others to get ahead.

Later, the government tries to shut it down when they notice the X-Men breaking in, determining that if mutants were taking violent action against the organization, then it was getting too extreme. Apparently nobody in the government checked to notice that the MCA had plans to send giant robots out to abduct any mutants that registered, and likely caused more damage than the mutants they were supposed to protect the common humans from. Later in X-Men: Evolution, former Principal Edward Kelly is running for mayor and one of his plans is for a Mutant Registration Act, to essentially segregate Mutants from humans and treat them like an inferior race. The X-Men are unwilling to get involved due to the way it could backfire. The Brotherhood, not so much.

The city of Athkatla in Amn is a rather corrupt merchant-guild-run plutocracy where such authority is controlled by the extremely corrupt Cowled Wizards, who will warn a spellcaster that they must get a license once and then teleport in magical assassin squads if they're seen casting in public again (the rest of the country isn't usually policed quite as harshly, but being a non-Cowled Wizard can still get very unpleasant fast). The generally lawful good-ish nation of Cormyr also requires all adventuring parties to register and get a proper charter in order to operate within its borders, although in this case it's less this trope as such and more an effort to keep tabs on freelance mercenaries (the definition of "adventurer" not necessarily including superhuman powers and all).

This is for protection, as the very first boss of the very first game is actually a normal human that became the host of one of the invading FM-ians, who made him Wave Change in order to take over his body and cause chaos, hiding inside his Transer to pass unnoticed.

It's stated from the start that less than ten out of the original class of several dozen make it through all four years of Training from Hell. They either drop out or don't make the cut.

Super Registration Act / int_87cf8985	comment	The Champions 5th Edition has a Superhuman Registration Act in its game universe backstory. It uses it in an uncommonly sensible fashion — widespread public protests were unable to get it formally repealed, but it's now a law that the government virtually never tries to enforce, let alone use as an excuse for metahuman conscription. Several of the most prominent superhero teams of the Champions Universe have officially registered and sanctioned themselves, but many superheroes have chosen not to, with little official interference in their lives. It still remains on the books, but it's normally used only as the legal authority to demand (and record, and distribute) the true identity of any metahuman already being arrested on another criminal charge. However, the lives of registered metahumans are made easier in several ways as compared to unregistered ones — they can testify in court without having to reveal their secret identities publicly (as those identities have already been revealed to the government and are thus available to the court, if not the public), they are offered opportunities for basic law enforcement training and certification as deputies, etc. They do need to follow certain guidelines - not killing opponents unless completely unavoidable, trying to avoid collateral damage and such, however. Technically, those that are not registered are considered to be vigilantes and, as such, criminals. This is rarely enforced except in extreme cases; Vigilantes who kill opponents are considered criminals and are hunted by the law. Supervillains get no such option; those that are captured have their identity, powers and abilities recorded by the government, with that information being, in turn, sent to law enforcement agencies and registered superhero groups to help them. All countries have their own laws regarding Supers, sometimes radically different: In China, all Supers, as soon as they notice their powers, have to register and "voluntarily" join the Tiger Squad, China's official super team - or be hunted down and killed. Japan, on the other hand, has a number of Superheroes working with and for the government, but no Registration Act at all.

Super Registration Act / int_935a012a	comment	This is a central point in the comic series Powers. The main characters are Buddy Cops who investigate crimes related to registered and unregistered superpowered heroes and villains. The registration is in effect from the start, and being caught unregistered has a lot of legal woes tied to it. In fact it's even illegal to own a costume unless you're registered which must make fancy dress parties a nightmare in this world. Things go further for awhile in some issues, when after the local Superman Substitute goes insane/senile and decides that he's God and tries to enforce morality on the world, the use of any powers becomes illegal. It then deconstructs this, as of course the only people who follow a law as ridiculous as that are the heroes. The psychotic supervillains still run riot, the only difference is that now only badly underqualified humans are left to try (and fail) to stop them. In the end the heroes return, realizing that justice is a lot more important than "The Law".

Super Registration Act / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia: The series uses a fully functioning type-D. Incentives are offered to supers at every turn, and there are multiple schools that train potential heroes to use their abilities to save people. Of course, when approximately 80% of the entire human race has some sort of super-power, it's no wonder this program works so smoothly. Furthermore, its spin-off series (taking place years before the main one), My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, focuses on unregistered vigilantes. The main protagonist, Kouichi Haimawari, actually applied to the heroing school, but ended up unable to enter, ironically because he was late for it because he was saving someone else's life. While he still does its best, it's clear that being unregistered has its downsides. The big example is when he meets Tensei Iida, Tenya's older brother. The two hit off splendidly, with the latter helping the former better utilize his sliding Quirk and even offers him a card for a potential job at his organization. However, things change when he realizes Kouichi is a Vigilante when he helps stop a villain. While Tensei is more than happy for the help and doesn't report him, he ends up asking for the card back since he can't endorse what is essentially a lawbreaker, much to Kouichi's dismay. It also explores the role of Badass Normal heroes since they wouldn't apply to the new rules. Knuckle Duster is a big strong dude reminiscent of Marv from Sin City, The Punisher and Batman. He's also a normal person who just fights with brass knuckles yet can go evenly with Eraser Head. In fact, once Eraser Head sees his Quirk-nullifying Quirk has no effect on Knuckle, he stops fighting him. Since Knuckle duster has no Quirk, he doesn't fall under the hero jurisdiction of unregistered Quirk usage. Presumably, it would fall under older rules of vigilantism, but it shows that despite things changing, some stuff remains the same. One notable aspect of the registration act is there are a number of laws that greatly limit the usage of Quirks in public. This was done in order to stop the chaotic turmoil that occurred when superpowers first appeared. However, some people were not happy with the regulations on Quirk usage, as they believed that the free use of their superhuman abilities should be a basic human right. Enter the Meta Liberation Army. Led by Destro, this organization fought against the government for several years over the passing of Quirk restriction laws, but they ultimately failed. Eventually, a new incarnation of the group led by Destro's son, Re-Destro, emerged and began plotting to create a new world order, where Quirk users would be free to use their powers as they see fit.

Super Registration Act / int_9e2521ba	comment	In Bazooka Jules, potential superheroes have seven days after their powers manifest to get registered as an official superhero. If they don't register in time they get classified as rogues, meaning they're vigilantes or villains, either one is illegal. Not only do registered superheroes get a barcode tattoo of their forearm but the government also takes a DNA sample from them so if a superhero goes rogue anything they do can be trace back to them.

In the first adaptation, there are no background checks, just filling out a simple form is enough to get a superhero license, so the Tick easily makes up a false name to be listed as his secret identity. In the second adaptation, the 28th amendment was ratified to prevent the authorities from publicly releasing a hero's Secret Identity, and the organization behind it, AEGIS, is apparently suffering from budget cuts and cops often don't bother contacting AEGIS because of the red tape involved.

Nevlor refused to grant licenses to those whom he could not control. If an individual uses their powers without a license, they are either downsized (literally) or imprisoned. They are then replaced with artificially created beings with the same powers who are loyal to Nevlor.

And the ending is altered so that a Nanite-controlled Nick Fury becomes The Starscream and both teams have to work together to beat some sense into him. This is also a possible ending in the first game: if you fail to save Robert Kelly in Murderworld, he will break out on his own and lobby for a law for mutant registration, which gets passed and results in mutants being sent to "reeducation" camps.

Later, the government tries to shut it down when they notice the X-Men breaking in, determining that if mutants were taking violent action against the organization, then it was getting too extreme. Apparently nobody in the government checked to notice that the MCA had plans to send giant robots out to abduct any mutants that registered, and likely caused more damage than the mutants they were supposed to protect the common humans from.

Super Registration Act / int_b8c3cc30	comment	Young Justice (2010): The Justice League operates under a United Nations Charter and is mostly allowed to conduct hero activities on a global scale, unless the government of a country denies the League access for whatever reason. This becomes a problem in Season 3 when Lex Luthor is elected the Secretary-General of the UN and begins using his position to put more and more restrictions on the League and its ability to operate. The Light's ultimate plan in this season is to use Luthor's position to propose and pass an international law that would require all Metahumans to be registered and regulated, whether they're heroes or not. The idea being that all of Earth's Metahumans will be under the Light's control, which would eventually enable them to take over the world. The plan ultimately fails thanks to the heroes publicly outing Luthor's criminal activities, which forces him to resign his position following massive backlash. In the episode "Elder Wisdom", Luthor brings up a historical Registration Act that briefly existed in the USA in the 1950s as part of his attempt to build his case for the above plan. This backfires on him when the original Flash, Jay Garrick, who was an active superhero in the 50s, publicly calls out that Act as having been ineffective and fascistic, while stating that any new attempt wouldn't be any different.

Super Registration Act / int_ba3d2748	comment	The Incredibles inverts the situation, with the superhero registration program existing to protect the Supers from the general public. The DVD extra materials make it clear that this program existed before the movie started, with the government providing logistical support to registered heroes and helping keep their secret identities secret. None of the supers seem to mind. Then, as shown in the movie, a series of successful lawsuits against Supers leads to a wave of anti-hero sentiment. The government passes the Superhero Relocation Act, granting amnesty to all the supers (and relocating them Ã la the Witness Protection Program), on the condition that they retire from superheroics and lead normal lives. And when Bob Parr (a.k.a. Mr. Incredible) continues hero-ing anyway, his liaison with the superhero registration agency covers for him and helps Bob relocate again (and again, and again...), rather than leaving him to be prosecuted as a vigilante.

One of the opening scenes is a debate in an official place (ostensibly the Capitol Building) where both sides make compelling points, though they never firmly establish either side as completely right.

The majority are killed, while the remnants are 'sanctioned' after much conditioning to serve the Imperium in various fashions, or used to power their giant space beacon. Justified in that untrained psykers minds are open to the Warp, which can cause them to unwittingly summon or even create monstrous creatures known as daemons wherever they go, as well as other horrible things. A single rogue psyker can cause soul-eating daemons to overrun an entire planet, forcing the Inquisition to come and deliver an Earth-Shattering Kaboom to the unfortunate world. And if the beacon were allowed to go out, the Imperium would collapse and humanity would be eaten by Eldritch Abominations.

At one point, the President notes to the Crew that "thanks to [the law], there are no more superheroes left on Earth!" Of course this came at Earth-C's Darkest Hour — a global flooding created by Starro — and ignores the US-centric nature of the law. Apparently the heroes moving to places like Earth-C's Cornada or Loondon to avoid the law weren't options, though simply moving out of the US rarely seems to be a considered option under this trope...

Super Registration Act / int_d7c45205	comment	This is one of the core elements of Shadow Ops. If you're a Latent (magic-using human) in the United States, you've got three basic options. The first: a fairly comfortable (or uncomfortable, if you force the military to come after you) imprisonment while having your abilities fully suppressed for the rest of your life. The second: join the military. Again, for life. Third: Bullets, lethal injection, or the electric chair, depending on area. Unless you're rich, related to a senator, or a famous celebrity. And if you're unlucky enough to manifest powers in one of the "prohibited" schools (necromancy, sentient elemental conjuration, gate magic, negramancy) or use a "legal" school in an illegal way (a physiomancer ripping apart human flesh, or a terramancer controlling animals) then you've only got the former two options. The ethics and morals of this system are debated extensively over the course of the book, with security versus freedom being a core theme. Ultimately, the protagonist decides he can't support a government that effectively imprisons and enslaves its own citizens for something they have no control over, and effects an escape. The second book, Fortress Frontier, goes more into the laws surrounding Latents, and it makes it quite clear that the laws suppressing and controlling Latents were put into place by a completely terrified administration who believe that stripping Latents of their rights and forcing them into military service is the only way to protect society from them. Counterarguments are raised that the Super Registration Act's harsh policies are the cause of the entire problem with Latents; Selfers rebel because their only options are imprisonment or military service, and many people argue against a system that strips rights from people for something they have no control over, particularly in a society that prizes individual freedoms. The third book in the series, Breach Point, reveals that the whole thing was the product of a conspiracy between corrupt congressmen, a corrupt president, and the MegaCorp Entertech to effectively enslave anyone who could use magic. In a series of flashbacks, its shown that the drug Limbic Dampener, which is the key to controlled magic use, was originally going to be distributed freely, which would allow any Latent full control over their powers, which would completely destroy all the justifications for the laws oppressing Latents. The head of the corporation that developed Dampener was actually a Latent herself, however, so she was arrested and her company seized so that Dampener could only be rationed to military Sorcerers to prop up the corrupt system.
