** While it's obvious that Master Destruction ''cannot'' be allowed to live any longer, ''personally'' killing him would [[BleedEmAndWeep have a]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone negative]] [[TheseHandsHaveKilled effect]] [[ShellShockedVeteran on the]] [[HeroicBSOD heroes']] [[TraumaButton psychological]] well-being. Just because they were the ones to catch him doesn't mean they're the kind of people who can kill someone in cold blood, especially when it's up close and personal.

** Master Destruction was [[EvilVersusEvil a direct threat to Evulz anyways]]. Evulz had been planning to kill him at the first opportunity, and the Super Tropers just happened to give him one.

Added DiffLines:

** Emperor Evulz deliberately lets Master Destruction live and sets up a moral dilemma for the heroes because he wants to force them to solve it themselves, either to see what choice they will make or out of pure sadism.

** Emperor Evulz may be irredeemably evil [[EvenEvilHasStandards but there are some lines he won't cross]]. Master Destruction, however, not only crosses them but pole vaults over them. He then [[WhatTheHellHero calls out the heroes on this]] "so you can sleep easy without guilty consciences."

* '''Zig Zagged''': Evulz draws his sword and advances on the helpless Destruction. Suddenly, Hero Harry interposes himself between the villains and says this is something he's got to do for himself. He puts a gun to Destruction's head... but he can't bring himself to pull the trigger. Evulz taunts Harry for his lack of moral fortitude and grabs Destruction himself. Then he flies into the air and escapes with the criminal. The heroes track him down, only to discover that Evulz is now subjecting Destruction to a FateWorseThanDeath, as mundane execution is too good for him. Then said fate turns out to really be TrainingFromHell to make Destruction even ''more'' powerful and evil...
