History ComicBook / CivilWarII

* ArtisticLicensePolitics: Tony attempts to manipulate/trick Storm into registering when she arrives at the White House for a diplomatic visit. While Ororo is a US citizen, she's also the ''Queen of Wakanda''--that is to say, a foreign head of state. Even the laxer presentations of the SHRA are still a ridiculous amount of power for the US to expect to exercise over the monarch of another country. Moreover, the papers are simply presented to Storm as a surprise and she's asked to sign them immediately; in real life, anyone of her caliber will not be signing ''anything'' that hasn't been looked at and argued over for weeks if not months by diplomats and lawyers. The justification for springing the papers on her is that the President can't meet with unregistered heroes, but an issue that would prevent the meeting entirely should've been brought up long before she even entered the country. (While Ororo might have to ultimately renounce her American citizenship just to smooth things over, see above about how this should all have been hammered out weeks ahead of time.) When things devolve into fighting, Tony then behaves as if the Wakandans started it, and later attempts to violate diplomatic immunity by ordering the Dora Milaje to be arrested for attacking people to protect T'Challa (diplomatic immunity is complicated, but bodyguards carrying out their duty to protect their charge would most certainly fall under it).

** Between the different stories and writers, the characters flip-flop between characterization. For example, in one issues ComicBook/{{Medusa|MarvelComics}} may be the one hesitant in acting on Ulysses' vision and Carol may be the one who takes the initiative, but in another the opposite is true.

** ''Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} Kate Bishop''

** ''[[Comicbook/ExtraordinaryXMen Storm's X-Men]]''

* ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine'' (#8 -- #11)

* ''Comicbook/PatsyWalkerAKAHellcat'' (#8)

** The end of the ''Kingpin'' miniseries sees the return of [[spoiler: the Gentleman from the ''Literature/SinisterSixTrilogy'']].

** ''Comicbook/AgentsOfShield'' inverts the trope with Coulson declaring that Tony and Carol are both wrong.

* DebateAndSwitch: The question of whether or not it's right to use prophecy to try and change possible futures is rendered rather moot by the revelation in ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine'' and ''ComicBook/AgentsOfSHIELD'' that trying to prevent a future [[SelfFulfillingProphecy can actually]] ''cause it''. Before, it was assumed that Ulysses' visions were based on information that excluded the visions themselves. But now, because the visions ''are'' including results based on what the visions themselves set in motion, that means that acting on a vision is now just as much allowing a prediction to happen as doing nothing at all. This removes a large chunk of Captain Marvel's justifications.

** Likewise, the two issues of ''Comicbook/TotallyAwesomeHulk'' just prior to ''Civil War II'' #3 (both of which were billed as being relevant to the event) were DayInTheLimelight stories about Bruce Banner adjusting to his new life without superpowers. [[spoiler: This was largely to build up some pathos for Banner before he was killed off.]]

** ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaSteveRogers'' #5: [[spoiler: Steve Rogers has purposefully been escalating the conflict to keep Ulysses from discovering that he's a mole working for Comicbook/{{HYDRA}}. The vision Ulysses had of the Hulk going on a rampage, which ultimately led to Banner's death at the hands of Hawkeye? '''Steve purposefully orchestrated all of that.''']]
