No, that just shows us that the writers can't kill them or they'd run out of good villians and material. In a more controlled setting, you wouldn't have villians escaping every time the writer needs them for a good plot device. Comics doesn't = reality.

They have people who can smash the prison walls down with one hand. Whats so hard to believe they're able to escape.

Besides in the comic world they show them able to escape so they can do it regally and are always a danger.

They're world not ours.

Oh and what's a justifiable reason for murder? 🙄
Killing one guilty to save countless innocents!

I'm sorry but there's just some times a hero needs to take a sin onto themselves for the greater good.

Some heroes understand that and thou they hate it they do what needs to be done.

Other heroes refuse to and countless innocent people will continue to die or just suffer needlessly for it.

As a pacifist I can not condone killing if this is a scenario where we are supposed to take their death's in a real world sense.

Explain real world sense.

How can we expand upon this? Is there shades of grey?

😖hifty:

murder is despictable anyway you look at it, who are we to judge who deserves to live, and who deserves to die, we were all placed on this rock for a reason, and because our own mortality is short, we have no right to claim the life of another, despite their crimes, there are other forms of punishment, but murder and killing is absolotly inexcusable, and it's part of being a hero that shows restraint, and keeping balance of the law. If you ever noticed the Authority thinks they are above the law, and though many laws are questionable, the ones set in stone, keep society in check. So no, they shoudl never kill, unless it's some short hairy conuck that has been experimented on. And the fact that you think they should, really says alot about you AJ

😂

But explain to be how to deal with people who escape and murder regally?

well, if taken care of properly, they would never espace. I don't see Charles Manson, or Mr. Chapman roaming the streets, they'll never get parole, and never will. A true serial killer is mental as it is, and once caught, doesn't escape. Son of Sam. behind bars. So no, we don't justify murder. It's placing yoursef above other men, like your superior, when in reality we are all equals, despite the horrendous crimes they may commit. We don't live in Babylon where it's an eye for an eye.

In comics? I don't think superheroes should kill, but if they have to (ie if Speedball had killed Nitro before he'd blown up Stamford), then I don't think it should be held against them really.

Those people don't have the ablity to walk through walls, control minds, bend time, or blow up cities at will!

Yes but we are talking about the COMIC world will they do escape not in the REAL world.

Can't you tell the difference? 😕

Well let's face it, with all the villains in the world, you'd think cities would have been annihilated, there's a check and balance system in comics, and the act that the timely villains just can't die. No one will ever want to see Doom die, nor would they want to see the original F4 die, a true hero knows not to kill however, otherwise, you'd just be another Tony Stark haermm

I read every post Aj, and I don't see any reason for a hero to kill any kind of villain, otherwise you'd be the sentry ipping carnage in half. It's more times that not, irrelevent, since death is a revolving door, especially in marvel.

Out of all the villains that die, how many more STAY dead.

Besides with all the villains dying what is the likelihood of loads coming back. 😉

Is killing millions enough reason? I think so.

Say what you want about Stark but he's doing what he believes needs to be done and he's will to make himself the devil for it.

He may be an ass right now but there's a form of heroic all in its own in that I believe.

superheroes are not executioners mac.

Meh. I don't think all comic villains deserve to die, but I think that there are some who certainly should. I think, if this was a real world, where people like Joker, Magneto and Doom run amok, killing who they please, I doubt that many people would feel remorse after their deaths. Not neccessarily putting them on the electric chair, but if a hero kills them, not something to cry about... if we had as many Hitler-level villains as exist in comics... people would feel less sorry for one of them being put down.

When Wonder Woman killed Max Lord, when Ult. Xavier seemed to finally deal with Ult. Mags, if Rorschach, Doc Manhattan or Nite Owl had taken down

Spoiler:
Ozymandias
before he executed his plan, I didn't and wouldn't place any blame on them.

That being said, I don't think Spidey should execute Rhino in their next fight.

😖hifty:

By real world sense I mean that I am not just treating these people as characters in a story but rather as real life breathing entities.

I can not believe there are shade's of grey.

I don't think killing someone is right for whatever reason.
