They’re not scared of him. They’re scared of the rest of us.

The punisher wouldnt do what any of those bootlickers do, but his logo is still on the back of half the police cruisers.

Guess we're even

Imperiex wanted to make the universe how he wanted, causing the deaths of many people and superheros, Superman said fuck that noise and killed them by pushing them into the hypothetical time before the big bang.

So I mean, Superman has already been written to do such.

But if you mean Superman who doesn't exist wouldn't kill a person that did exist, yeah that's believed to be impossible by most.

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?

Allow thousands to suffer and die for profit? No, he wouldn't.

Superheroes aren't murderers.
- That's a supervillan. CEO's don't have superpowers.
  
  Killing thousands of people by signing a paper seems like a superpower to me.
  
  Farthest thing from a Superpower.
  
  Murder is murder.
  
  My oginal point still stands: superman wouldn't murder some CEO, a supervillian on the other hand? That's an entirely different story.
- Superman killed at least 19 characters in the comics.
  
  Supervillians, not some CEO. No CEO's aren't supervillains, they don't have superpowers.
  
  CEOs are the closest thing we have to supervillains.
  That and politicians like putin.
  
  Still not Supervillians.

Superman snapped that guy's neck before he could kill more people.

Luigi did his thing before the moron could deny more life saving treatments.

Hate only ever leads to more hate, it's a game played best by children, and full grown adults that don't know any better.
Snapped who's neck? A Supervillians? Because that's not what I'm referring to. No, CEO's aren't Supervillans, they don't have any Superpowers.
- Superman's main antagonist supervillain is literally a billionaire CEO.
  
  Lmao, it's so hard to argue that point I have to admit.
  Ultimately I think there would be Superhero ways to contain SuperVillians. You honestly think Lex would be able to get out again and again from something like that? Can't help but to think something like that would be the way to go.
  Hate doesn't know any better, love does.
- CEOs kill people.
  
  Not with Superpowers, on a SuperVillian level.
  
  The mechanism is irrelevant. Murder is still murder even if through insurance denials, pollution, or any other bullshit legal ways of killing people.
  
  Of course it's relevant. You're talking about civilians that make up the real world. I'm talking about people with Super powers that don't even exist.
- Yeah, the CEO really shouldn't have hated poor people as much as he did. Could have avoided all of this.

Explain to me how Superman couldn't have stopped him without deadly force? He easily could've, doesn't make any sense. This context is also absent of the knowledge of the value of the extremes of the selflessness being common knowledge.
- He could have, but that wouldn't have helped. It is like Lex says, sooner or later he would get out and do it all over again.
  The context is the series.
  
  We don't live in a world where people are freeing themselves from prison on the regular just to "do it all over again."
  Keep in mind we're talking about a cartoon about Superheroes.
- Superman is lawful stupid and ignores lived reality ¯(ツ)/¯

Lawful Good versus Chaotic Good.
