I think mercy on someone who has intended to do you harm, and still does is an illogical notion. Mercy on those who give-up or wish to negotiate is one thing, but to simply show mercy on someone who will only continue to make trouble is pointless. Generally when that is done it is done for pride sake, such as Goku to Vegeta, though no one ever accused Goku of being smart. Other times it is just a character tick, such as Superman wanting to see the good in people even when he know they will just keep hurting people if he spares them, to Superman's credit at least he doesn't have a "No Kill" policy but his willingness to hold-back on severe dangers has bit him in the spandex more than once..
