My opinion? Frankly, stick it to the man. Don't register.
Okay, no, honestly? They've already got their nanites in you. Registering at this point is all psychological--you'll maybe feel obligated to help if something goes down, because that's the deal: register, get government benefits and in return, help them in times of crisis--but they already own you. They're tracking you. They have a file on you. They know your powers, know your face. You technically have no 'rights.' And whatever they can do with the nanites (which, lets be real, is probably what LACKEY and the Russians used against us), we are not privvy to and we are not immune to. So long as we have these nanites, it frankly doesn't seem to matter if you register or not.
It's merely propaganda for them if they get you to register.
That said, Hermann and I are registered. Mobility limitations necessitated the porter usage. Health reasons meant we required healthcare. If you need what the government offers, register. If you don't need it, doesn't much matter. And if people give you grief for whatever you choose, and someone might, tell them to shove it.
