 Captain America: Civil War (4K disc) 2016 movie set in the MCU.  After a
 mission goes bad Thaddeus Ross shows up with a proposal to reign in the
 Avengers. The last time we saw Ross we was a general, now he's the U.S.
 Secretary of State.  At this rate, maybe one day he'll even be
 President. Anyway, after the ultimatum is delivered one group of
 Avengers lead by Iron Man decide to sign on to the new restraints while
 another group lead by Captain America decide to go their own way.

 
 As for the Accords, I want to know what justifies requiring Romanov and
Barton
 to register with the government. At least in these movies, they're not

I note your “at least“ above, so I’m sure we’ve probably discussed this but
at some point, they’ve decided that Barton is in fact enhanced, as he
obviously has to be because the shots he makes are impossible otherwise. I
forget what they settled on if he’s got magic eyes somehow or is actually
seeing three seconds in the future.

I came across these excerpts today from the comics where at least one version
of Hawkeye claims to be a normal-powered human who is just a really good
shot.
