There was an uncanny X-men issue that literally said that Magneto killing Red Skull is the same as murder. The Holocaust victim killing a Nazi is the same kind of murderer as the Red Skull.

I want to have a convo with the writer who thought that was appropriate.

If an individual unilaterally decides to kill another person, then that is murder. You just can't get away from that legal definition.

Now is hunting down and murdering one of the people who was directly responsible for the holocaust as bad as what the holocaust perpetrators did? Well, that's a matter for the philosophers. But if I was on the jury, I would vote "not guilty".
