Wouldn't most supers fall under good samaritan laws or citizen arrests? Spider-man, for instance, always turned his foes over to the police with a little note after he got done stomping them. The Avengers always (until recently) had some kind of authority to deal with threats beyond the capabilites of normal law enforcement. And the Fantastic Four were never really superheroes per se, more like specialists that could be called into certain situations, like those involving Dr. Doom. I think the X-men are really only considered outlaws because the government doesn't want those stinkin' muties forming in large groups ( with advanced technology, yet!)
As for the events in the comic, it's completly stupid to me. I don't read any of the books except new avengers. Why did Ironman suddenly become the government's little goose-stepper?
