Col. Fury had been replaced as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. on a temporary and provisional basis by…

NEW YORK, NY (AP) – The man known publicly only as Captain America, arguably the most popular and influential public figure of his time, is a fugitive from justice, government sources confirmed this morning. Confidential sources report that the fallen hero was arrested after refusing to register in compliance with the SHRA passed last week, or to enforce registration on the part of others. In his escape from custody, Captain America wounded an estimated two dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. These reports were neither confirmed nor denied by acting S.H.I.E.L.D. Director…

WASHINGTON, DC (AP) – Billionaire Anthony Stark was introduced today as the director of a task force aimed at enforcing the Superhuman Registration Act (SHRA) passed on July 3. Stark, who recently disclosed his public identity as Iron Man and registered in accordance with SHRA, gave a brief prepared statement and did not take questions from reporters. “Accountability, training, taking responsibility for the damage we do as well as for the good we do, these are positive things,” Stark said. “I hope those who oppose this new legislation will look past the more extreme language being used to mischaracterize it and see that their greater responsibility to the safety and well-being of the American people demands adherence to the law.” Stark did not comment on what action, if any, will be taken with regard to Captain America, who remains on the run since…

ANNAPOLIS, MD (AP) – A group of vigilantes opposed to the Superhuman Registration Act today captured a shipment of weapons intended to supply S.H.I.E.L.D. agents charged with enforcing the Act. The attack left three S.H.I.E.L.D agents in critical condition, with at least one not expected to last the night. Sources indicate that the vigilante group wore identical uniforms bearing the mark of the white star, a symbol of solidarity with Captain America. It is uncertain at this time whether the fugitive hero himself is associated with…

NEW YORK, NY (AP) – In its most prominent and forceful push for registration since the passage of the SHRA, the SHRA Enforcement Committee has announced that mass amnesty will be granted to any individual required to register under the law’s terms who has not registered to date. Amnesty will be granted to anyone who registers this weekend at the Enforcement Committee headquarters, located adjacent to the Ryker’s Island prison. A number of unidentified individuals have already gathered outside the main complex, where registration will begin at 6:30AM. Registration will be directly supervised by Anthony Stark, head of the SHRA Enforcement Committeee. Significantly, Ryker’s Island is home to the specially equipped prison in which recalcitrant…
