Is there any difference between this person and someone who is a MASS murderer other than the MASS murderer might kill people one at a time

Here's another analogy for you, since you liked the other one so much. <g>

The generic term is "mass murderer." "Mass murderer" subsumes both "serial killers" and those who murder their masses all at once. We call the latter "mass murderers," the same expression as the generic one and can usually recognize whether we're using the generic or the specific term by context.

This is the same as the naming structure for flowers.

"Flowers" is to "mass murderer" as "weeds" is to "serial killers."
