There are two types of superheroes in the Marvel Universe. The first type believes in redemption and second chances. And the other type has made murder their lifestyle.
Bad guys and supervillains are not the only ones when it comes to holding the crown for the maximum number of mass murders. The good guys have piled up a plethora of dead bodies, be it even for a good cause. While they may have had justification for doing so, it’s impossible to ignore.
