User blog comment:Spidermanfan1945/Civil War: whose side would YOU have been on?/@comment-5388187-20120827033001

I think there was a What If? issue that dealt with this. They had two stories that differed from the true reality. In one we had all the heroes on Caps side and in the other we had Cap and his resistance joining Tony to lead the registration act. In the former the government retaliated against the heroes, slaying most of them in the process. In the latter both sides team up to fight Ragnorak and it ends with Cap helping to run the registration program.

I'd have probably joined Caps side anyways despite the opposition. Now that I think about it, didn't they win in the end? Registration isn't a thing anymore and the government seems to have gotten over the whole Stamford thing pretty quickly... Infact Civil War was kind of pointless wasn't it? Goliath died and Ragnorak is now a super villain so it was actually a completely unproductive event...
