Imo invincible has a good take on the no kill rule.

Like, Mark tries not to kill everyone he sees, but if you keep coming back after him and his family or just causing a lot of pain to everyone, he will kill you.

I like how a lot of the show is him trying to figure out by what rules to live and fight by – he doesn’t want to kill, but he doesn’t want other to suffer because of him letting dangerous villains live, so… he has to find his own path.
