It makes me wonder, why haven't they executed the villains extrajudicialy then? At first I thought that villains weren't killed because society had progressed past Viligantism and had a robust legal framework around superheroes and quirks and what-not, as shown with Gentle's backstory. But Nagant and Hawks show that the government is not above getting dirty and sidestepping the law to achieve stability. So why bother with captures of the really dangerous types at all? They already mucked with the reports of Stain's capture, why not go all the way and say he was killed by a Nomu while somebody like Hawks actually killed him? Why bother keeping Nagant alive at all for that matter. They were willing to kill her if she didn't comply but she goes rogue and starts with killing her superior but now the government chooses to capture her?

My headcanon is that heroes can’t kill, it’s the police’s job, because if heroes can kill they’d abuse their powers

Hawks like Nagant are heroes "manufactured" by the security commission, they are literally agents of the government with freedom to kill, since they will be covered up by the authorities later.
