Civil War II # 1 2016 NM-

Civil War II # 1 2016 centers on the emergence of a new Inhuman, Ulysses Cain, with the ability to predict the future, which divides the superhero community over the ethics of preemptive action. The main conflict pits Iron Man against Captain Marvel, exploring the moral dilemma of punishing individuals for crimes not yet committed. 

The main storyline, written by Brian Michael Bendis and featuring art by David Marquez, begins when a new Inhuman named Ulysses manifests uncanny precognitive powers after being exposed to the Terrigen Mist. His powers allow him to see flashes of future events, including major disasters and threats. 

The central conflict revolves around how the heroes should use this new ability:

• Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) believes they should use Ulysses's gift to proactively stop future crimes and disasters before they occur, arguing that the ends justify preventing massive casualties.
• Iron Man (Tony Stark) violently opposes this approach, arguing against punishing people for crimes they haven't committed and questioning the reliability of the visions and the ethics of changing the future. 

The conflict escalates when a vision from Ulysses leads to a confrontation with the supervillain Thanos, resulting in the death of War Machine (Jim Rhodes) and the severe injury of She-Hulk. This tragedy makes the issue personal for both Iron Man (who loses his best friend) and Captain Marvel (who loses her lover), driving them to take firm, opposing stances and drawing battle lines across the Marvel Universe. 

The primary creative team for the main Civil War II limited series included:

• Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
• Artist: David Marquez
• Colorist: Justin Ponsor
• Cover Artist: Marko Djurdjevic 

The series functions as an allegory about the nature of determinism versus free will. It explores complex ethical questions, such as: 

• Is it fair to stop a crime before it is committed?
• At what point is pre-crime action fair to the potential criminal?
• Is it worth altering the future if it brings potentially worse collateral damage (a self-fulfilling prophecy, as demonstrated in several tie-ins)?
