Yeah but that’s a supervillian, not yet another CEO admist the sea of all the others. Superheroes don’t want to have to kill at all but against evil of that magnitude, they feel as though they must because to not would mean the lives of countless others, so they make that age old ethical choice of killing one to save the lives of potentially even millions.
So you believe he’s a hero then and not a superhero because he didn’t have to overcome super human odds, that makes sense.
Let me break some ice if you aren’t understanding that, CEOs in large corporations ARE supervillains. It isn’t a toss up, it’s an explanation point. They steal from the poor and give to the rich.
I’m not saying I agree with the ethical choice this hypothetical superhero in question made.
No they’re not. They have no super powers, they’re only human. One of which you would be yourself if you shared the same circumstances.
Supervillians are one in a million (friendly reminder that they dont even exist). There’s seemingly an infinite amount of people that would replace every last CEO we kill. And behind every dead body, is a family, friends and who knows who else that would only be given the incentive for revenge; The “vicious cycle” of an eye for an eye.
If you have met a person, you have met a hero. Maybe not to you, but they are a hero to someone. Super is a fictional term. We are but human. We shouldn’t compare humans to superhuman because well … we put a fucking adjective that says they are better than us in the name
I didn’t even imply that people aren’t heroes. I said: they’re superheroes because they have super powers; humans don’t have super powers. Humans aren’t superheroes
I think the closest we get from a real world’s point of view—in contrast to anything thats ever existed, would be our capacity for selflessness, not only individually, but especially collectively.
I think a response got sent to the wrong person (likely my fault) that said. If you think a hero is forced to do the untinksble as you said… Then how does that not describe doofus who did this?
