On the night before the Superhuman Registration Act, Iron Man and Carol Danvers visited his home to encourage Cage along with Jessica to sign the law otherwise it meant being unregistered was illegal with his being grounds for an arrest. Luke opposed registration and decided that he would not sign the act leading to his two former allies departing. Jessica and their daughter Danielle were sent away to Toronto whilst Cage stayed behind as he decided to defend his home. The next day, the home was attacked by a S.H.I.E.L.D. Capekiller agent squad that had come to arrest Luke Cage with him fighting back. He was swarmed by agents when the neighbourhood decided to support him and began to attack the armed Capekillers. The tide was only turned when Captain America and his Anti-Registration forces arrived on the scene to fight off the S.H.I.E.L.D. squad. Afterwards, Cage joined the Anti-Registration forces where he told Maria Hill to prepare for the revolution as he went on the run with his allies. (New Avengers v1 #22)
