Lelouch explains to Kallen that when he was training under Barda and Scott, [[ParentalSubstitute Scott]] told him that by becoming the most skilled fighter, he was becoming the greatest of the Emperor's children. Lelouch was horrified of that fact until Scott gave him idea: that by fighting with all his strength but refraining from killing, he insults everything about [[TheSocialDarwinist Charles's belief of survival of the fittest]].

-->Marvel worked his tongue in his cheek. The Red Crusher, an Asian Communist mutant-being the size of a building, had crossed swords with the Marvel Family on several occasions. They thought they'd put him away during the last go-around, but the Marvels didn't kill their enemies. Sometimes that put them at a disadvantage, but they weren't about to change. They were heroes, not executioners.

* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Subverted. In this crossover Shinji is Superman. He holds back when fighting humans... but when he fights {{Eldritch Abomination}}s he has no compuctions about killing.
* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Subverted. Asuka is Supergirl and she holds back when facing common criminals, but when going up against the Angels or a supervillain like Brainiac or Parasite she shows no compunctions about killing.
* In the ''Justice League/Naruto'' crossover ''[[FanFic/ConnectingTheDots Connecting the Dots]]'', the superheroes have a very hard time getting the ninjas (who are essentially underage soldiers) to understand this concept. One scene that stands out is where Robin and Cyborg are for this trope, Neji and Sakura are against it and Naruto as devil's advocate after Neji killed Dr. Light. Just a taste of that talk:
--> '''Robin:''' You killed him.
--> '''Neji:''' Yes?
--> '''Robin:''' We don't...you weren't supposed to do that?
--> '''Neji:''' He was required for interrogation then? My apologies. I assumed termination was the objective.
--> '''Robin:''' Termination is NEVER the objective! Not with us! We don't kill!
--> '''Neji:''' (puzzled) But the fight necessitated the need for lethal action. Cyborg (*points at him*) knocked him off a 10 story building with intent to kill.
--> '''Cyborg:''' Well yeah, but… Dude, we knock people off buildings all the time! They just never actually fall, they always catch themselves!
--> '''Neji:''' So it was a distractionary measure? But I thought you didn't know he had that jetpack. And Beast Boy destroyed it shortly after, he could have died from either of those falls.
--> '''Cyborg:''' Dude, the point is that a fall NEVER actually kills anyone.
--> '''Neji:''' Yes they do. I've killed several people that way.
--> '''Robin:''' The point is that Beast Boy and Cyborg didn't aim to kill him. You did.
--> '''Neji:''' [[BluntYes Yes.]]
--> '''Robin:''' Look. In our line of work, you're not supposed to kill, understand? Not by accident, definitely not by intent. Regardless of the circumstances, you do NOT use lethal force.
--> '''Naruto, Neji and Sakura:''' Why?
--> '''Cyborg:''' You… you just don't!
** The argument ends with Cyborg and Robin saying that the villains normally get taken to prison.
--> '''Naruto:''' I get that. They get to live instead of executed. [[CardboardPrison As long as they can't escape from prison it's still good right?]] (Cyborg and Robin nervously look at each other) RIGHT?
** Sakura actually questions Batman on this and points out the idiocy of it in some cases.
--> '''Sakura:''' If he (the Joker) is so dangerous, why don't you kill him? Someone like that needs to be put down because it's clear he gets off on the killing and a monster like that doesn't need to exist.
* This is normally a point used in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fanfiction when mocking a bashed Dumbledore, who he and his followers tend to view any sort of death as immoral and dark. For instance, in the story ''Harry Potter and the Curse's Cure'', he is horrified by Hermione's OC uncle Dan Granger's killing of several death eaters with a gun despite the fact that they were there to kill and rape Hermione and her family. In the story ''The Harem War'', he refers to Harry as dark when he kills Dolores Umbridge and two death eaters with a gun, despite the fact that the universe that ''Harem War'' exists in explains that Death Eaters have to kill in cold blood and rape to join, and the fact Dolores sent a squad of them into the innocent country that Harry ruled[[spoiler: (of course, this Dumbledore is evil however)]].
** Not to say there aren't fanon Harrys who believe in this rule, but it really depends on the writer and who they are dealing with. It is more acceptable among the fandom to mock a "no killing" policy when the people not being killed are Death Eaters as oppose to less utterly despicable characters.
* The four in ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'', being [[ActualPacifist Actual Pacifists]], are very much committed to this stance, sometimes to the point of having to get really creative to solve a problem because the opponent's death, or even the opponent's ass-whooping, is not an option. The irony is that collectively they have been gifted with enough power to wipe out a city before breakfast.
** Though at least two of them were not averse to handing out a good nonlethal ass-kicking in revenge for heavy abuse (of themselves or their TrueCompanions) at the hands of some baddies.
** The problem is far more acute in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', when the four are thrown into an exceptionally violent situation and have to almost literally fight to find nonlethal solutions to serious problems.

* Empath in ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' tries to adhere as best as he could the Smurf rule of honoring all life, which also includes no killing, but in the story "The Innocence Of A Smurf", he reveals that he had killed a Psyche during a training battle where killing is mandatory for all Psyches that undergo this training. That earns him a death sentence on the day that he and his fellow Smurfs must swim across the Pool of Souls to judge his innocence, as he ends up dying during his swim. Fortunately, he only suffers a DisneyDeath as the spirits of the pool judge that he didn't kill the Psyche out of malice and thus he deserved a second chance.
* In ''FanFic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', [=ProtoMan=] has a self-imposed policy to not kill. [[spoiler:He breaks this vow in episode 9]].
* In the multi-crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6438802/1/A-Spark-of-Genius A Spark of Genius]]'', Green Lantern insists that Leviathan (secretly a [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander Harris]] who's been magically made into the grandson of [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Agatha Heterodyne]]) is nothing but a murderer after he killed a group of soldiers and mercenaries. Said soldiers and mercenaries invaded his country, killed several civilians, and kidnapped a young woman with the intent of raping her before turning her over to Lex Luthor for the miracle cure running through her veins. Superman even points out that by international law, killing them and invading their country is completely justified, especially since Leviathan isn't a superhero but the leader of a nation.
* In ''Fanfic/FrozenHearts'', Johan Jorgen, a pirate, albeit a [[JustLikeRobinHood nobler sort]], has this principle, which is why he is disturbed when [[spoiler:Hans]] admits to [[spoiler:trying to kill Elsa]].
* Godzilla Junior in ''FanFic/TheBridge'' is his world's BigGood, but doesn't abide by this rule despite not being an AntiHero. He does know restraint against situations that don't require lethal force or may be a misunderstanding. But if the situation is dire he ''will'' kill his opponent, such as the Gyaos flock attacking Canterlot intending to devour the populace if they burst through Celestia and Luna's shield. Unfortunately, a large chunk of the populace does believe in this rule for heroes and thus doesn't buy that he's good natured kaiju.
* In ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'', Princess Celestia explains that all of ponykind have a natural instinct to never kill. Only a few like Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Shining Armor can overcome it (in desperate situations to protect their loved ones) without turning evil. Celestia herself will never kill, though when pushed, she has no problems with giving bad guys a FateWorseThanDeath. She however understands that sometimes others may have no choice but to kill and tells Rainbow and Rarity that they have permission to kill if they absolutely have to.
* In ''FanFic/ThisBites'', Cross has a notable aversion to actually killing anyone. He panics initially taking down a Baroque Works Mook in Whiskey Peak, and a Marine Mook in Alabasta, until he confirms that they're alive. It's solidified, however, when he has Mr. 13 at his mercy, the assassin having just tried to kill ''him''. Even considering the fact that he's [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman just an otter]] ultimately isn't enough, and he settles for simply knocking him out...albeit brutally. Chapter 37 reveals that he's well aware of the fact that he'll need to kill one day, but he refuses to let the Unluckies be the ones that drive him to it.
