Lethal

The following are heroes that, while still generally fighting on the good side, are more than willing to kill villains. In order for this to be considered different from cold-blooded murder, the individual said hero kills is almost always corrupt or criminal in some fashion or they kill in self-defense.

These heroes are usually very strict in terms of not killing innocent people and can be considered in some ways like soldiers or Evil exterminators. They will not hesitate to end the life of a wicked or crazed opponent if they feel it will save the lives of themselves or innocent people.

They're the opposite of Merciful and Pacifists, and also the good counterpart of Homicidal villains.
