I know it's just a typo, but the idea of 1890's superhero comics appeals to me. (Especially to Quincy, who's life was then)

That's actually the norm for the Warriors. In fact, when our travels take us off world or into other dimensions, we'll go bloody right quick. But we know that back on earth there's a PR issue to consider. We make damn sure we don't kill anyone if we can avoid it (or if there's even the remotest chance someone could find out we did), and if we do kill someone (as Skitz did on his first mission) then we make damn sure to justify it and demonstrate that we don't approve of that sort of behavior (I spent a year on probation because of Seezar's rather aggressive response to being shot at with a missile by a normal in a jet. Seezar thought it only fitting to open a portal between the missile and our jet that connected directly behind the launching jet). While Quince was a tad disturbed by that and Sabrina was definitely convinced that was a sin that God would punish us/Seezar for should we ever somehow come to divine judgment, most of Skitz's other personalities simply thought it not terrificly heroic.
Someone truly of the Heroic bent, where they took this sort of thing very seriously would be very upset at the attitudes that fly about the warriors as we are telepathically connected during a combat. We're not ordinary heroes.

You can say that again. ;-)
