But what if killing Hitler resulted in a worse version? And if it did, then wouldn't you be morally obligated to take Hitler's place, but do a really bad job on purpose?

But what reason would he have to go back in time and kill super hitler if only normal hitler exists...unless...wait, he goes back in time to kill hitler, can't find him, finds super-hitler, kills super-hitler and becomes hitler. Everyone thinks he fails, but he didn't.

I'm a loving genuis, this is it man.
