We had discussed in Module 2 how most superheroes/heroines are deontologists and almost never opt to break their moral code regardless of the consequences. In the comic book story of Wonder Woman although she is usually a deontologist she does kill the villain Max Lord essentially undermining the classic superhero/heroine approach of merely apprehending a villain. You would then identify 6 different ethical theories and analyze how the issue of killing villains would play out given each theory.
