If you were a superhero, would you kill?

say you were a superhero, and you had a rogues gallery like say Spider-man's for example, would you be fine with killing?

I am not a super hero but still kill(hunt ) just for fun

so yes I would be fine with killing

No I wouldn’t. If I have the power to turn someone in with no casualties then killing under the circumstances is pointless murder.

Only if it were necessary.

Probably not, I don't want to be a killer. If somebody like the Joker became my enemy and killing them was absolutely necessary, I would probably just retire lol

No, I wouldn't unless it was absolutely necessary. For instance, if they were trying to kill a hostage or child.

Depends on my powers.

You can't really expect a hundred percent survival rate of your opponents if your powers is literal knife fists.

Depends on what villain I'm facing.

If I get someone like the Joker, then yes, I would kill him. Because if I don't kill him, he'd kill a lot of other innocent people. But if my villain was just a thief with a strict anti-kill rule like, Captain Cold or someone then I'd just turn them in. I'd say it depends on the potential lives you can save by killing a supervillain. Intentional mass murderers would die, other criminals get turned in. The most brutal ones would either escape or get the chair in real life anyway.

I'd slave all of humanity

Basically this. Can’t save everyone, but I can do my damned hardest to let people live.

I wouldn't ever kill

Should’ve made a poll

I would most def kill. I would like to be an anti hero like red hood. I’m still gonna help the innocent and protein to pepole. But I find it funny how Batman gives permanent brain damage to a jaywalker and I would love to cause internal bleeding to a shoplifter.

Bank robbers? No

Serial killers and psychopaths are getting wasted

I won't kill simple criminals like bank robbers unless it's the only way to save the innocents.

A mass murderer and a psychopath? Terminate with extreme prejudice.

I’ll kill if necessary but I won’t have a second doubt. If death is the only answer then so be it.

thread reminds me of that new netflix show where the son of main character exploded the guys head and the father just berates him nonstop even though he saved him and like a lot of civilians in the area

Yes, sometimes killing is necessary.

Rapist and intentional murderers get killed on the spot

Typically no. But if killing them saves tons of other lives i would.

Only if its necessary

Yes. Not killing people like the Joker makes no sense.

Also if you’re a rapist or child predator I'm disarming you... you know what that means.

I wouldn't be a superhero.

If I was it depends on the villain. I would arrest every villain the first time, but once someone serious (ie. a genocidal maniac/murder villain) escapes their life is forfeit.

It would be hard to kill obviously, but I would if I needed to.

If it's against someone that could eventully escape his containment and cause more harm/kill more people then yes I would, or at least incapacitate them in some manner they can't harm anyone else. Then again, depends on my powers and the criminal.

Yes

It depends on how much power I have.

Somebody with the Silver Surfer's powerset doesn't really need to kill unless they are facing other cosmic opponents.

A character with a much weaker powerset like Daredevil's abilities might need to kill every now and then to protect themselves.

Against Spidey's Rogues? Nah. Green Goblin, Scorpion, and Doctor Octopus, definitely. Electro and Lizard don't really deserve death, because Max is just a thug that's been cheated by the system, and Curt is a tragic figure.

I'd be fine with killing but it'll be on a case by case basis. Somewhere in that happy middle ground between never killing and killing everyone.

No killing

name?

@seagod: Jupiter legacy on netflix

this tbh

That's why mind control is such a great super power. Just tell your opponents to stop and they'll do it.

No.

Yes, a lot! And I'm going to enjoy it. Very very much!

Only as a last resort and only to save a life. in real life those criminals won’t be constantly escaping. There is no need to further some arbitrary plot by reusing the same villains. A lot of them would have gotten themselves killed anyway. The joker would have just gotten the death penalty or life without parole. It’s the same for Norman Osborne. Also, a lot of times the villains get arrested and they are just magically out without any explanation. That won’t happen in real life either. In real life you won’t have a rogues gallery because the legal system doesn’t work like comics so you really don’t have to worry about playing judge, jury, and executioner.

Only if my life was in danger

Only as a last resort

Don’t know. Maybe. I would hope not since it goes against my beliefs, however until you are in that situation, you never know how you are going to react. Will I see something that pushes me over the edge? Could I misinterpret something in the heat of the moment? Typically, superheroes don’t have the same strict training that designated law enforcement officers have to minimize errors in the field.

It's situational.

Yes. I wouldn’t go full maniac like the Punisher but letting someone like the Joker live makes no sense whatsoever.
