The tagline for the series is, "Whose Side Are You On?" </P> <P> The plot of the series follows a framework story line in which the U.S. government passes a Superhero Registration Act, ostensibly designed to have super powered individuals act under official regulation, somewhat akin to law enforcement . However, superheroes opposed to the act, led by Captain America, find themselves in conflict with those supporting the act, led by Iron Man, with Spider - Man caught in the middle; the X-Men take a neutral stance . The superheroes in support of the law, such as Iron Man, Mister Fantastic and Ms. Marvel, become increasingly authoritarian . In the aftermath of the war, Captain America surrenders and is imprisoned . The conflict between freedom and security is an underlying theme in the story line, with real - life events and discussions, such as the U.S. government's increased surveillance of its citizens, serving as a backdrop for the events in Civil War . A sequel, Civil War II, debuted in June 2016 . </P>
