So does that make Tony Stark the villain of this story?
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says yes at least in the Mark Millar-scripted 2006-07 comic series that inspired it.
Arguably in the comics, somebody is more right than the other.

In the years after theCivil Warcomic, Stark was a bit of a villain.
He had been labeled the villain, Feige says, even if Stark had justification.
He had been doing it for the right reasons, and hes a futurist….
But villains always think theyre doing it for the right reason.
All that#TeamCap and #TeamIronMantalk the intention was to create a real debate.
Certainly if you did a poll from the comics, 90 percent of people would side with Cap.
And we didnt want that.
We wanted it to be…we wanted people to be torn, Feige says.
We wanted people to walk out of the theatre and the argument to be in the parking lot.
No, I think Cap was right.
No, I think Iron Man was right.
He says that bore out in the movies test screenings.
We found that balance.
I think in the last screening we did it was almost exactly 50/50, Feige says.
How many of you side, agree with Cap?
How many agree with Tony?
Even one of the screenwriters found he couldnt side with his main character.
God knows, I love Captain America.
Im all for regulation in real life.
So its an interesting sort of dilemma.
McFeely saysCaptain America: Civil Warwas a chance for a reckoning.
Part of this movie is taking account, he says.
InCivil War, they dwell.
That was a close one!
McFeely jokes, wiping his brow.
In other words, you may still like Captain America but Iron Mans not wrong.
The good guys can cause a lot of hurt while trying to do the right thing.
I mean, they didnt do it, but they were part and parcel of it.
Think they got every last farmer wandering around?
There are dead people.
And its honestly debatable, where its like, Okay, thats your fault.
Something bad may have happened if you werent here, butthat…You did that.
