Should a individual that committed crimes while mindraped be responsible for the crimes that they committed? How about the crimes that they committed but was later mindraped into being a new person?
Should a individual that committed crimes while mindraped be responsible for the crimes that they committed...
Magneto got off scot-free for warcrimes just by being de-aged, so there's no reason at all for Cap to be locked up.
probably falls under duress. idk about the latter
Why even bother with prisons? Just mind rape bad guys into good persons. It is only fair. Why can't someone like Professor X or Martian Manhunter or whoever is your greatest telepath ever solve the so-called supervillain problem with carefully placed mind rapes here and there?
That's what Avengers Standoff was. Didn't go well.
Martian Manhunter did exactly that in one arc of JLA then the entire Justice League assraped him.
are we forgetting about Doctor Light
Identity Crisis and/or Avengers Standoff
no
because now, in 2018, women can yell that someone TOUCHED THEM (maybe, they can't remember 100%) and men go to jail!
why should someone who can't remember killing someone be let go. people are charged with manslaughter when drunk, so fuck them!
fuck everyone!
You should read the original Squadrom Supreme series by Marvel (back when they didn't hate white people). It's really quite good, and it's all about not-DC heroes mindraping villains to be heroes and how it all goes super bad.
Major differences between being mindraped into doing something and being drunk and doing something. For the former, you have no control over your actions due to the influence of another individual manipulating you. For the latter, you have no control over your actions due to the influence of something that you intentionally consumed.

name one instance of this in 2017
ill wait
It depends on which purpose you attribute to criminal prosecution and punishment.
For the first case, if it's some form of mind-control, I'm pretty sure, legally, it would be the same as if someone made you commit a crime by holding your wife hostage or something -- you being forced to do something illegal is different from just doing it.
The second case is trickier, especially because it would be difficult to determine whether they really are a "new" person. They'd probably be punished anyway, just to preclude that being used as a defense.
There are laws to lessen punishment if the person is under influence, especially if it was forced on them. And in some cases, like the insanity plea, if the person is not in the right mindset while committing a crime then they can actually get off with just reduced prison sentence.
But in the superhero world there's likely stuff that completely handwaves the entire thing. And there's also the fact that many heroes have secret identities and are breaking the law.
>Just mind rape bad guys into good persons
JLA did that, didn't end well.
Sometimes you gotta hold them responsible anyway.
It doesn't mean it's right.
But sometimes it's what you gotta do.
Are you really conflating mind controlled murder rampages with drinking and driving?
Yes, they literally mind wiped everyone that would have a problem with it so everyone would forget Dr. Light's shit
It literally took a gang of bullies raping him in a school bathroom to push him to the point where he said his magic word, so I think he showed pretty good restraint before that,
Manchurian Candidate 2: Electric Boogaloo
The dangers of homosexuals

No. But if you're Hank Pym you will be.
Poor Hank.
It was not punishment
He doesn't deserve what they've done to him. And by now, he's been ruined so much that we can never have him actually back.
