The description of Set a Mook to Kill a Mook is slightly confusing, but that or Enemy Civil War is probably what you're looking for.
Do we have a name for an instance when the hero doesn't do the killing, but instead lets the two villains (more than likely already in cahoots) just kill one/each other?
