Let’s say you were an Avenger who has particularly opposed the Sokovia Accords or the Superhero Registration Act, or at least didn't like how it was executed.

You and your fellow superheroes, despite having risked their lives time and again to save the world (fighting off alien invasions and taking down corruption within your own government), the majority of the world if not the entire world reviles you for inadvertently causing collateral damage and innocent casualties along the way - even blaming you for causing the very atrocities you saved the world from and turning a blind eye to how things could’ve been worse if you had never turned up.

Then the world’s governments come together and write a legislation to provide oversight on superheroes, but without your input to try and balance it between regulation and your individual liberty - they and the rest of the world deems you a living weapon of mass destruction instead of a person.

When you oppose this legislation and try to fend off a threat that the government would never sanction you doing, you are suddenly arrested and thrown into jail without trial - further cementing the U.N’s dehumanization of superheroes and you are forever branded a criminal - an evildoer in the eyes of the public who sneer at the sight of you.

Even when an much greater threat turns up which only the full combined force of the Avengers can stop, the government still refuses to dispatch them and cares more about reigning them in. Even if the general public, after unjustly scapegoating and persecuting you for trying to do the right thing, suddenly call for your help.

Would you forgive the human race and continue protecting them or do you give up on humanity and leave them to their fate as comeuppance for what they did to you?

Which would you do and why?
