I don't quite remember the number of the issue, but the story is about woman named Aisha who was (gradually) turned into a cyborg-like abomination when she wore Tony Stark's early design of GI battlesuit. The battlesuit ran on a very primitive AI that insisted to stay alive no matter what, so Aisha couldn't even commit suicide despite her endless agony (the battlesuit kept her addicted to a certain drugs that were distributed by Temugin's minions).
Suffice to say that Aisha came to Tony, ask him to kill her and ending her agony, but Tony just didn't got the stomach to destroy what he had "created". Aisha beat up Tony quite badly, but he kept refusing to kill her. Eventually, she injured Pepper badly; killing her unborn fetus.
Throughout the story, Tony had been shown to be reluctant to kill Aisha despite there was good reason to do it (to end her suffering).
Furthermore, when an Iron Man armor went sentient and became a murdering maniac with a childlike personality (and killed Whiplash as well), Tony hesitated to kill "it". When the armor eventually committed suicide to save Tony from heart attack, he still tried to save it despite the crimes it committed ("no, I can still fix this! Let's go back to the lab!" or something).
Considering the stories above, I guess Tony is a non-killing superhero. Don't know about Jim Rhodes though.....
