* A rare heroic example of this was #711, one of the oddest crimefighters in [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]], created by George Brenner, the creator of the Clock (as in, the first hero in comics to adopt the [[Coat, Hat, Mask]] style.) style. #711 was originally an attorney named Daniel Dyce who decided to do an extraordinary favor for his friend Jacob Horn after the latter is arrested for murder. Dyce confesses to Horn's alleged crimes (it is never truly revealed whether Horn is guilty or not) so Horn can visit his wife, who is about to give birth to her son. Horn promises to turn himself in later and recant Dyce's confession, and he intends to keep this promise, but in a bizarre twist, he's killed in a car accident while going to do so. With nobody to clear him, Dyce is convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but in ''another'' bizarre twist, he accidentally discovers a forgotten tunnel underneath the prison, allowing easy access to the outside and easily escape. But he also realizes he has nowhere to go if he ''does'' escape. With the ability to go to and from prison as he pleases, he decides to make his own [[Coat, Hat, Mask]] identity and fight crime using his prison ID as his ''nom de plume''. This eventually pays off in his favor, as prison gossip often clues him in on criminal schemes, and a lot of crooks he brings down end up in the same prison.
