Eddard Stark constantly has conflicting duties pulling at him that requires more introspection, particularly because he is keeping confidences at a constant personal cost.I would not say I am familiar enough with Dredd to make a good evaluation on whether he has a code that guides his actions, he simply seems to be be a lethally martially competent enforcer of the fascist law and he is dedicated and committed to his cause.Punisher I don't normally think of as having a code, more just a vigilante willing to rack up large bodycounts of bad guys. He is motivated by revenge and then a personal mission to kill criminals. He is dedicated and committed to that mission, which can be a hook for lawfulness, but I don't see him as having a code that drives his actions.Captain America generally does not seem limited.His code seems completely in sync with his nature and desires. When he acts rashly, facing Thanos alone to stand up against evil even though he believes he has no chance to win and it will end in his death, he does this because of his code and his heroic nature.He wanted to get back to Peggy Carter and not die instead of sacrifice himself at the end of the first movie, so there was a little conflict there. He doesn't want to fight fellow avengers, but he definitely actively wanted to save Bucky in Winter Soldier and Civil War. Mostly he does not seem limited from doing what he wants to do.</blockquote>
