Why the heck didn’t they use LP’s ability when they met the guy?
Considering he’s LP’s boss it might be hard to explain to the board that he offed the warden.
The problem with that line of reasoning is that the villain holds the key to restoring reality sort of like Thanos with the infinity stones. If they kill him, it would essentially mean they’d have to come up with a way to restore reality on their own. This is a common plot where the antagonist(s) seems to hold all the cards and the protagonist(s) have to choose a way to deal with them with minimal collateral damage. Marvel’s writer’s way of coping with Thanos was to use that tired old time travel trope. The villain here appears to be self-conscious with a brittle ego who doubts his competency probably compounded with an inability to perform . A cadre of heroes usually has one strong willed self confident leader who will advocate reasoning with the villain before resorting to gratuitous violence. (Who that is in this group of heroes remains to be seen.) They may even attempt to rescue the villain from the dark side (vis a vis Luke and Vader) and give them redemption.
I guess that does explain why their default plan isn’t “oh look, a spider”. I’m pretty sure LP could vaporize a city

Because ‘good guys’ don’t kill (intentionally)? It’s a cliché for a reason.
Or rather that LP’s I-beams wouldn’t leave a whole lot of villain to hold up as a trophy.
On the boss issue: it’s a supervillain-pen: you offed the boss? You’re the boss, boss!
Would’ve been fun, he would hang out with Cat-a-Pult and they would brag about how baaaad they are.
And here I thought that LP’s insurance didn’t cover it…
