When I was growing up, You didn't kill...under zero circumstances was it acceptable for heroes, especially AVENGERS to kill. But we are talking 15-20 years ago, and with the popularity of the 'Grim and Gritty' era come and gone the characters evolved to a more real world stance on killing. You don't like it, but there will be times you have to be put in those situations. Anywho...
1) Again, as a kid, Cap would never pick up a gun, let alone condone killing someone in action. But in recent times, He dislikes the idea, but is considered a soldier who does what it takes to protect.
2) Hulk, Hmm...I am sure in his history he has killed someone, but if he did, it wasn't murder, but maybe death due to destructive rampage through the city during a fight or something. But for the most part, he is a character that is fueled by rage but has the heart of a good man that finds a way not to kill, just smashes you until you stop moving lol
3) Thor has no doubt slayed Trolls, Dragons, Demons, and other mystic creatures for centuries, but never has he killed a mortal.
4) I love the character, find it interesting you included him as a Avenger, I think his stint as a Secret Avenger lasted 4 issues? But prior to his major power upgrade he was not considered a killer, but the events in ANNIHILATION seen him destroying entire space ships with little regard of saving the crew members inside in a kill or be killed battles for the universe.
5) Peter? I cannot recall a time anyone died by his hand, even those who deserved to die only got a severe beating, but he would never kill. But that SUPERIOR guy running around now...Without a doubt! As he has killed 2 villains already that is public knowledge.
6) Dr Strange...Human? No...Demons? He has probably a sizeable body count I would bet.
