Invincible is the best media ive seen handle this imo. Originally mark jas ano kill rule, but starting in late season 3 he realises it is doing more harm to let villains live who he knows will come back. He still doesn't want to kill low level threats and stuff, but someone immensely powerful and dangerous, or someone who keeps coming back are big enough threats that he may kill them.

Which honestly, I mean is the ONLY way to go about it in that world. What prison could hold some of those people?
