Death by Secret Identity: Difference between revisions

** To be fair, the (current) Phantom's wife, adoptive son, and presumably his real children have all seen his face without a mask too, and none of them have so far died horribly for it. Presumably the Old Jungle Saying has a caveat built in for voluntary de-maskings.

* Averted in an ''[[Astro City]]'' story in which a small-time hood accidentally discovers Jack-in-the-Box's identity. He considers selling the information to the hero's enemies... until it occurs to him that those enemies are ruthless enough to use [[Torture Always Works|cheaper methods]] to make him talk, after which [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|they would no longer need him alive]] and indeed [[He Knows Too Much|would prefer him dead]]. He leaves town, apparently intending to forget the whole thing.
