True that it wasn't their job, it was Roman's.Which makes me believe he doesn't want to kill.

You can always keep the possibility that he is alive but I don't think so. Why? I don't believe they want a Wolverine knockoff running around. He seems to have been made specifically to die here. That's the author in me talking now.
