no kill rule
executioners how dare you moralize to
this man for this list we'll be looking
at the times good guys who don't
normally take lives went against their
non-fatal policy since we'll be talking
about death beware of spoilers ahead
which of these superhero moments shocks
you the most let us know in the comments
below
number 10 jason todd becomes the red
hood
batman under the red hood i'm doing what
you won't i'm taking them out
tell me what happened to you
let me help
it's too late from the moments we
learned the rough and streetwise jason
todd was going to be robin we knew he'd
become one of batman's edgier sidekicks
the young crime fighter initially only
dealt out harsh but non-lethal doses of
justice however everything changed after
the joker took todd's life after the
robin was resurrected by the magical
lazarus pit he decided to stop holding
back against criminals does it make it
easier for you to think that my little
dip in his fountain of youth turned me
rabid
or is this just the real me
todd returned to gotham as the
villainous red hood and showed everyone
how lethal he was willing to be
while batman definitely disapproved his
new persona turned him from a least
liked character into a fan favorite i
don't think you've ever understood what
what your moral code just won't allow
for that
it's too hard to cross that line number
nine colossus loses his cool uncanny
x-men number 211
this is a shameful and reckless use of
your powers you will both be coming with
us look colossus i don't have time for
the goody two-shoes [ __ ] right now
when professor x found pier thuras putin
he was just a simple farm boy who used
his powers to help his community after
the gentle giant joined the x-men he
continued his kind reputation by
becoming a non-lethal defender of heroes
join us
use your powers for good heads up be a
superhero he also formed close
connections with his teammates like his
one-time love interest kitty pryde when
she is injured in battle colossus is
overcome with anger and takes the
villain riptide down permanently not
only did this go against the hero's
morals but the mutant further suffers
when he's left on the brink of death
after battle seeing colossus weakened
and going against his code were both
incredibly shocking sights moments when
you're offered a choice
to make a sacrifice conquer a flaw save
a friend
spare an enemy number eight oliver bends
his big rule arrow
i know what you're thinking i don't
i made a choice not to put an arrow in
this guy and it was the right choice
there's no more killing in the early
seasons of arrow oliver queen didn't shy
away from slaying people who failed his
city eventually he sees his brutal
actions in a new light and vows to bring
justice without taking any more lives
but oliver doesn't stick to his policy
forever after his future wife felicity
is threatened by the count the hero puts
down the villain permanently with a few
arrows
he had you and he was gonna hurt you
there was no choice to make
although oliver wasn't happy about this
step back his reservations didn't stop
him from famously breaking his rule
later on to take out rajal ghoul and
we'd seen green arrow take a life yet
again when damien dark threatens the
city oliver's intense struggle to
maintain his no kill rule became a
compelling conflict for his character
slade wilson i had a choice
[Applause]
this time i don't
number seven jessica gets revenge
jessica jones
while jessica jones can be quick to
anger and isn't shy about using her
super strength on enemies she wasn't the
type of heroine who took lives her no
kill policy really came into play after
the villainous kilgrave used his mind
control powers to force her to fatally
wound a woman i hit her
full strength
she was dead before the bus even got
there the driver swerved to miss her
body
[Applause]
although she gets away from his control
he eventually finds a way back into her
life kilgrave does many terrible things
to innocent people to try and get the
heroine back by his side but when he
threatens to harm jessica's sister he
learns firsthand how deadly super
strength can be
after everything the dangerous kilgrave
did few can blame the heroine for taking
extreme measures to end his reign of
terror he couldn't live with all the
pain
that he had caused
either way jessica did not have a choice
number six barry ends a rivalry the
flash the trial of the flash
gentlemen
i hate to inform you but
you're all dead
eobard thawne is one of dc's most
notorious arch rivals during his career
he has found numerous ways to taunt
barry allen's flash the hero lost his
mother had his best friend erased from
existence and saw his wife die because
of the villain and just when it seems
like barry is free of his enemy the
antagonist attempts to kill the hero's
new fiancee on their wedding day this
assassination attempt was the last straw
that broke the camel's back and flashes
self-restraint there's still time you
can still savor it
[Music]
the hero quickly ends thawing before the
villain gets to his fiancee being the
hero that he is barry willingly goes
into police custody after the incident
i know that you'll find his dna on mine
number five anyone in the green lantern
corps various stories
since time immemorial the green lantern
corps has served as the keepers of peace
order and justice throughout the
universe members of the green lanterns
corps are meant to be intergalactic
peacekeepers to that end their guardian
overseers prefer that the members of the
organization defend life instead of
taking it away not only did the corps
have a written no kill rule against
enemies but their rings weren't supposed
to be capable of doing anything lethal
makes flying through space very
dangerous
but the guardians eventually decided
that this rule should be altered to
address threats like the sinestro corps
so anytime we watch a green lantern take
someone out we can't help but think of
the original policy even lighter stories
like the 2011 green lantern can look
jarring when lanterns like hal jordan
punch parallax into the sun time will
tell how lethal the core will become
jordan's defeat of parallax will be
remembered as long as the core exists
number four daredevil targets bullseye
shadowland volume one number one and the
way you stopped me is with the headshot
i'm not gonna shoot you nope
not yet you're not
even if you don't know much about matt
murdock's history the fact that one of
his nicknames is the devil of hell's
kitchen suggests he isn't the most
gentle hero however his strict moral
code kept him from killing his enemies
take the shot red take the shot no you
don't do it his deaths on you either way
you're a killer but circumstances
changed after matt was chosen to take
over the notorious hand ninja clan while
leading the organization the blind hero
shockingly slays his longtime archrival
bullseye the same way the villain took
out murdock's former flame elektra it
was later revealed that the hero stepped
over the line because he was possessed
by a demon but regardless of the motive
this shocking daredevil kill puts a dark
spin on one of the heroes greatest
tragedies
bullseye number three finishing the
finisher amazing spider-man annual
number five i wanna turn them apart
i can still hear it boys
over the years peter parker's spider-man
has garnered a reputation for being a
pretty nice web slinger that's why many
fans thought the action of spider-man
from the fifth annual comic seemed out
of character if they die if you kill
them
that's on you while peter was seeking
information about the death of his
parents spidey encounters the villain
known as the finisher the antagonist
eventually sends a missile after the
hero during the battle peter redirects
the missile right back at the finisher
and causes a fatal injury while it turns
out that the villain was responsible for
causing the end of peter's parents other
baddies have slayed spider-man's loved
ones in the past and walked away but the
finisher was one villain that didn't
survive a battle with the friendly
neighborhood spider-man i got what i
wanted
it didn't make it better
number two
superman silences the clown
injustice gods among us
he has her
help me
please
after the joker hits superman with a mix
of fear toxin and kryptonite the man of
steel thinks his wife lois lane is the
world breaking villain doomsday when the
man of steel accidentally slays her the
act of her heart stopping sets off a
nuke in the middle of metropolis the
combination of losing his wife and
millions of people causes superman to
snap and take the joker's life
superman has broken into arkham asylum
and killed the joker
finally some good news after this point
the hero continues taking the lives of
common criminals and a few of his former
allies he ironically commits all these
crimes while still wearing a symbol of
hope on his chest superman's frightening
turn to the dark side proved that joker
got the last laugh i am calling an
immediate worldwide ceasefire

batman's crisis final crisis volume one
number six
i won't this is what it's all been about
this
you and me and him
now is the time you decide the tragic
shooting of bruce wayne's parents in
crime alley pushed him to abide by a
strict no kill and no gun rule while
this code has been bent for some
cinematic outings the dc character
typically stayed away from taking fatal
actions in the comics for a long time if
i allow myself to go down into that
place
i'll never come back so no one expected
one grim story beat in final crisis this
storyline sees the evil dark side put
the entire world in danger with no other
choice batman puts aside his ideals and
shoots the villain with a specialty
bullet unfortunately darkseid is able to
shoot one last omega beam attack that
appears to cause the dark knight's death
this iconic moment showed batman is
willing to sacrifice everything even his
moral code to save lives this doesn't
change anything
it doesn't change anything at all
