Also, looting the dead is generally considered to be a lowlife thing to do, even in warfare (of course it was done in times of desperation - especially when it came to good footwear not wanting to go to waste - but it's not something any decent soldier or warrior wants to admit to. At least, so the Western noble stereotrope/civilizational yada yada goes. But as we've seen, all bets are off when it comes to the wonderful diversity of other cultures ....)
Needless to say, superheroes grounded in Western moral/ethical tradition certainly would NOT be going around stealing stuff from people just because they're dead/knocked out. And uh, when did superheroes start killing, anyway? I remember death being a thing in war and horror comics of the 70s (and in Kimba the White Lion), but not in the few superhero comics I read.
And yeah, way back when, watching The Incredible Hulk tv series as a kid, and knowing even then that Hulk should've had no pants, but he was going to have pants no matter what, because.
