I view it as a matter of intent. Purposeful despite and rebellion against God, intentionally harming others, or bringing pain into the lives of any person or any living creature with no purpose but to increase suffering.
Permitted: shooting the dog that's mauling my child.
Wicked: throwing rocks at a caged dog until it lies bleeding on the ground.
Permitted: cutting a person wide open in order to fix a heart
Wicked: cutting a person wide open in order to stop a heart.
BTW, I'm a Christian, if you want to keep score.

Based on my philosophy classes I'd say wicked is an action that goes against that greater good of other people.

It's in almost every story, movie, and videogame. There's the good guys and bad guys. Look at what the antagonists or bad guys are like. That's generally what it means to be wicked.
Usually they are selfish people who want power or have bad intent for others.

Good - trying to teach people to live better lives.
Wicked - getting frustrated at people and killing them whether it's by flood or by fire and brimstone.
