A large number of superheroes in both Marvel and DC Comics are emotionally malleable. While some superheroes prefer not to get their hands dirty and kill a supervillain, others are not afraid to put their opponent down for good. To prove the point, listed here are ‘7 Times Superheroes Snapped And Killed Their Arch-Nemesis For Good’.

He is the man who enjoys slaughtering to the extent that he finds it monotonous. He has the ability to blow things up with his thoughts, so picture the devastation he could cause if he put his mind to execute a large number of people. While he prefers not to intervene most of the time, he is forced to do so occasionally. When he does, there is usually a massacre.
