One of the main functions of a superhero’s secret identity, it seems, is the protection of a hero and their family/friends from harassment and reprisal in their civilian life by supervillains.
However, it seems like there are certain classes of villains who wouldn’t actually be that dangerous to let “in the loop.” Maybe they’re extremely professional, or have such a strict sense of personal honor that they wouldn’t strike at innocents and your private life. Others might not have any ethical problems with doing it, but wouldn’t do it because it wouldn’t be a challenge. Maybe they’re just doing their job, and don’t actually care enough about a hero to strike at them when they’re not on the clock. Maybe they just think you’re cute.
So, I’ve been wondering…who are some supervillains you could trust with your secret identity, if they found it out, without having to blackmail, threaten, or mindwipe them for your own protection?
The only one I can think of at the moment is Destro, who’d probably be in the “too honorable” camp. But I’m sure there are others…anyone want to join in?
