This meant he was perfectly willing to allow a foe to die in order to save his comrade. (All-New Captain America v1 #1)

Despite being raised by Steve Rogers, Ian had said that he was not like him. In fact, he said that he retained a bit of his Zola nature in him. This meant that he was not above killing his enemies if he felt they were a threat. In this respect, he disagreed with his adoptive parents despite him loving them dearly.

Thus, Ian felt that as a warrior, it was needed to kill the necessary people who would always be a threat to the world. (All-New Captain America v1 #6)
