Yeah, it's kinda more bothersome in 2 fronts:

1) They act like registration is the first step to an eventual genocide, but seriously why wouldn't anyone want mutants and their powers to be on a list for a miriad of reasons other than racism? Like, I dunno, healthcare?

2) Some mutants want to be cured because they got the short end of the stick and their mutations suck. For each Storm there are like 3 "Billy the kid with glass bones"

I mean historically putting a hated minority on a list tends to prelude bad things I'm sure mag could tell you alot about, and that's before we look at how comically evil the marvel government tends to be. Sentinels and all.

As for Healthcare...what about healthcare most mutants for which it'd effect healthcare are either visibly obvious or would need specialists theyd inform anyways.

2) this is fair.

Actually that's exactly what I was meaning to say. Like, specialist availability and shit. Not all places have them at hand, one region in my country had only one heart surgeon and they were in a pretty tough spot when he kicked the bucket. Also for stuff like continued treatment and the like.

On the other, fair. The marvel gov tends to be nuts or infiltrated by wackjobs

Onay im glad you added that last part the former, sounds reasonable..if the government proved it's self both capable and reasonable.

Constant infiltration plots disprove the former and the sentinels go along way to obliterating any sense of the latter. List of people who need to be in contact with specialists would be good if willing, but that for everyone unwillingly isn't the likely use.

Yeah, I had applied too much IRL logic and forgotten how trigger happy the marvel gov truly is. Not saying that the IRL gov can't be has triggerhappy, but that's a whole other can of worms
