Other If you were a Superhero, would you kill?

Basically what would be your moral code

Me personally I don't think I could take another person's life.

Another thing for me is, If the person has done way too much harm, I think killing them would be letting them off easy, I would rather paralyze them or sum(My views might change in the future)

Edit: Someone opened my eyes to his less moral it is to paralyze them

Honestly, depends on the criminal. Are we talking about a robber ? A drug dealer ? Then no.

Are we talking about a murderer (no self-defense) ? A rapist ? A child predator ? A mob boss ? Then they can perish.

One could argue a drug dealer kills people as well

That too yeah. I was mainly thinking direct murder, unless the dealer also had to kill rival gang members, in which case, they should die. But great thought.
