* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Despite having a no-kill policy himself, Daredevil has a habit of teaming up with killers (his mentor Stick, his old flame Elektra, and murderous vigilante [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]]) and doing his best to stop them from committing murder while working with them, even if it means knocking lethal weapons out of their hands mid-battle. Late in Season 2 Daredevil solicits help from Frank Castle and actually suggests that "just this once" he'll do it Frank's way and kill their enemies. Frank immediately [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on compromising his principles]], tells him that once he crosses that line "just this once" he can never go back, and refuses to work with him.
* In ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' Season 2, Jessica is reunited with her mother. After a near-fatal car crash, IGH did an experimental procedure on her which saved her mother's life, but changed her personality. Now, she has super-strength and uncontrolled rage. While on the run from IGH, she kills several people despite Jessica's repeated insistence that she avoid killing.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #161-162, Spider-Man was forced to team up with ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'', Spidey enforced his No-Killing rule by making Frank use rubber bullets. Frank complied, both because they didn't have any time for arguing and because this was ''very'' early in Frank's history before he became the ''Creator/GarthEnnis''-molded BloodKnight he is now. Of course, a rubber bullet to the head or throat is just as lethal, and an experienced Marine like Frank could have swapped out magazines holding real bullets without Spidey ever noticing. Other heroes, such as Captain America or Daredevil, have also tried to make Frank refrain from killing when teaming up with him. He doesn't always comply.
