10 Times Superheroes Were Forced To Kill Other Heroes

4. Superman Kills Shazam

If you want superheroes killing other superheroes, there’s no better comic in this plane of existence than the infamous Injustice series. There’s an absolute ton of violent and vicious deaths to choose from, but without a shadow of a doubt the worst is when Superman murders Shazam.

Obviously, the most important reason behind this is that, as observant folks may have noted, Shazam is actually Billy Batson – who is, you know, a child.

With every other superhero takedown, there is at least the excuse that they’re a grown adult who’s aware they might die doing the job they do. With Shazam, there is only the knowledge that Superman totally just lasered a child to death, because said child called him out on being sketchy as hell.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
