Are they the same, do they have a different degree of badness, a different "type", or what? (It's a lexical nuance I can't get as a foreign speaker.) Native English speaker reporting for duty, lol. From my understanding, saying someone or something is evil is worse than saying someone or something is wicked. Both imply bad though. Evil is also used as its own thing, as Utter stated above, like "The Ultimate Fight Between Good and Evil". Whereas, I've only seen wicked used as a describer, even if used without another word. Like saying "the wicked will be punished", the wicked people is what your saying. Evil can stand on its own, like a force of nature.
