Following a reply to a comment left on a fan fiction, I have decided to put it to vote.
There are evidently lots of people out there unhappy with the current situation, but we only have 4 members. Thus, I am throwing the floor open. How can we sort this out?

I know I probably should have done this sooner, but this week has been kinda hetic and it honestly didn't cross my mind before. Please join virtualavengers to help us out. I apologise for the spelling error with Skrull. I used Word spell check on it, and it said it was alright. Unfortunately I forgot Skrull isn't reconised by Word. Sorry, Please don't kill me.

Wall o' text Ho!

I don't think you can plausibly undo the SHRA without some major draw backs. SHRA itself completely shook up the power structure of the hero/villain world, so it stands to reason that its complete removal would warrant the same results - there's no guarantee that what could happen would be in favor of the "good guys"

It's such a big, looming, thing that to just have it taken out as if it were a frivolous bill, is somewhat extreme. The bill does have its strong points: mainly that superheroes need some sort of training - or at least accountability for some of the major damage that results from their more intense fights. So..I don't know, having it modified so that government employed heroes had to receive some sort of comprehensive training, as well as disclosing their identity to a sort of Super Hero Czar (NOT OSBORN OH JESUS FUCK NO). But if an average citizen that just happens to have a super ability does the whole Good Samaritan thing, they shouldn't suddenly have to sacrifice their lives and become this drone soldier for the gov't.

Possibly like it's managed in "What if Civil war?"

Basically.

a sort of Super Hero Czar (NOT OSBORN OH JESUS FUCK NO).

I now desperately wish our own gov't had a Superhero Czar (who was not Osborn). In the Marvel U, I'm not quite sure who would be best for the job (not Tony, after all the ill feeling surrounding him) but definately not a power-mad supervillain.

It's just that almost every powerful politician or businessman in Marvel is a powermad supervillain.

Well..Dr, Strange could maybe fit the bill? He's got a nice record of being painfully neutral during big events, but he's not some heartless type that couldn't empathize with the individual. So he'd maybe be a good starting point.

I can't see Strange doing all that well in Washington, though, given his extremely low tolerance for stupidity.

Maybe Gyrich could do it. He's kind of corrupt, true, but unlike Osborn, he's not actively psychotic.

Don't know how "sort of" corrupt he'd stay in Washington, though... But it would be interesting to see how it'd play out with him holding the cards, as it were.
