In Deus-Ex, I'm trying to play a run wherein the main character is a cruel, merciless cyborg who cannot distinguish between friend and foe. Basically, everybody dies.
Things seemed to be going well in the first mission, where one of my comrades greeted me after I annihilated the enemy's leader and I proceeded to unload a 12 gauge into his lovable face, causing him to keel over and die. I stole his assault rifle and went down the stairs to my next friend, who told me what a great guy I was. I smiled and agreed and stabbed him 37 times in the chest. The only problem is that this didn't kill him; it caused him to get aggravated at me and shoot me with several poisonous darts as a form of comeuppance, rendering me quite dead.
Are there some comrades who simply won't die and who will endure whatever pains I put them through, or do I lack the necessary firepower to eliminate them at this point?

There are definitely characters you can't kill, or that you can't kill until certain points in the plot. I'm not sure about all of them, but Paul springs to mind in the first mission. I've unloaded a great deal of ammo into him many a time, and he just keeps running around and eventually shoots me to death with a plasma rifle.
Your best bet is to save before you try to kill any main-plot characters, I suppose; hopefully that won't ruin the experience for ya.
