Is this a normal thing in comic book movies?

No, it's not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn't know much about Marvel or comics.

I mean I don't know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

The closest Marvel has to that position is Iron Man. But he still does his own thing, not the government bidding.

The second movie is literally him telling the government to shove it.
