Speculation. Teth Adom is going to be Very Angry. OL isn't going to want Adom to go all berserker, but he's not a classic Killing Is Always wrong hero either, so I expect him to be more likely to try to talk Adom into being selective about who gets splattered than just telling him "no killing". He may try to convince Adom that it would be better to hold trials and formal executions rather than just tearing the guilty parties apart, since what really freaks people out isn't the killing so much as that it's a superpowered guy doing it.
Since the problem with defeating the dictator is the hostages I suspect either an attempt at a clever way of rescuing them, or of snagging the dictator and forcing him to release them.
