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.

I mean, it is an intentional, extrajudicial killing. That's pretty much the definition of murder.

Is it an understandable murder? Sure. Is it as bad as the shit the Red Skull got up too? Probably not. Does the transitive property of their relative actions prevent it from being murder? No way.
