And I'm taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I'd go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.

I don't really follow comics and have barely watched a marvel movie that isn't guardians. I'm silver age pilled. And yeah. I'd be pro registration, but I don't know the details of ehat thst implies. Also as an in universe guy how aware am I of all the weird outer space sruffnim the Marvel universe or do they even exist on this thought experiment? Cause if there's thanoses and galactusi out there, I will fully submit to my new mutant Goss because clearly there is power far beyond my comprehension and I guess these weirdos are the nest shot we have, but I'd consider thst a really really bleak prospect. With the outer space stuff I'd just be a Lovecraft protagonist but less racist. If we're talking just on earth superpower people being out there doing stuff, yeah, I'd prefer they be responsible to some sort of authority.

That's fair. You have a pretty decent grasp of the storyline.

Then again, it's hard saying what would be a realistic societal reaction and what wouldn't be. Like how batman only beats up bad guys who deserve it 100% of the time and the cops in the setting are either overwhelmed and well-meaning or just flat out corrupt.

And yeah, either way, being a normie in a comics setting is a terrible proposition. One reality warper or time traveler and you rethink your entire place in the universe.
