Do people with powers have to register with the government now, and ooh, do they have a special designation, like “Empowered-American”?

No, there are no registries. The collapse of the camps was a watershed moment for Supers, though. Before that, the camps had a monopoly on superheroism and controlled how Supers were viewed. After that, people from the obscure families were a lot more comfortable coming out of hiding; there was even a certain glamour attached to being from one of the “rare” non-camp lines.
