Kind Of A Risky Way To Use Your Secret Identity

In GrimJack: Manx Cat #4, we were introduced to St. John of Knives, vigilante demon-slayer, and outlaw in the eyes of the Lord Protector, who is responsible for maintaining the peace between all the various churches in Cynosure. During the day St. John is Fra Benjamin Marsh, a priest from the X Street Mission. The church he serves is porr so they can't pay the Lord Protector the tribute as the other churches do. The alternative is to pay with information, namely, information on the activities of St. John of Knives*.

This seems highly dangerous. The Lord Protector has considerable power and resources at his disposal, and Marsh can't provide false information too often, or the Lord Protector will get suspicious, or at least stop protecting the mission. For some reason, this set-up seemed similar to me. A vigilante whose civilian identity is working in cahoots with authorities to apprehend his crimefighting persona. The problem is, I can't remember who I thought fit the bill. Zorro played it the other way, using Diego's friendship with Sergant Garcia to learn about the scheme of the week the Commandant had hatched to capture The Fox. Bruce Wayne usually pretends to have no interest in Batman, and certainly isn't working to help catch him.

Oh! I think I just remembered what I was thinking of! Armor Wars! Since everyone believed Iron Man was an employee of Stark's who had gone rogue, both SHIELD and the military brought Stark in to try and help corral Iron Man. Stark agreed because it provided a way for him to disable the Mandroid armors he built for SHIELD, and do the same to Firepower armor the military had developed. That second one didn't work too well, initially.

That explains why I was thinking it might be Zorro. The picture I had in my head was of someone with a mustache, and it seemed more likely the hero would be a street-level type. Well, might as well ask you if you can think of any others with similar situations. I'd be especially curious in ones where that was a long-term part of their story. We've seen St. John of Knives briefly, and Armor Wars only lasted a half year, so I'm wondering if that staus quo could be maintained for any significant period of time.

* St. John and his brethren kill demons, or what their religion believes are demons. But the Lord Protector doesn't discriminate - what with all money being equally good - so people are free to worship whomever or whatever they like, and someone going around killing other people's targets of worship is not acceptable.
