If Luigi Mangione is considered a "hero", then Punisher, Dexter Morgan and Jigsaw should be considered "heroes" too.

Luigi is called a ‘hero’ because he killed a bad person, while Frank Castle and Dexter both kill bad people (literally all they do is kill bad people), yet no one calls them ‘heroes.

And if I write a "superhero" story about a guy with superpowers and he kills every single criminal he meets, from the bank robber to the crime lord, and leaves no criminal alive, he should also be considered a "hero", more of a "hero" than Superman.
