* ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} is a mercenary, and generally has no strong idealogical bent one way or the other. If the bad guys are paying him more, he'll work for them, and if the good guys are paying more, he'll work for them. In ''All-New Captain America'', Comicbook/BaronZemo's plot to use a bomb to unleash a sterilizing virus is ultimately thwarted because [[ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon Misty Knight]] pays Taskmaster an obscene amount of money to simply not press the detonator.

* For Creator/MarvelComics villain organizations, the Advanced Idea Mechanics or A.I.M would be this. Unlike the fascist Hydra who aim to take over the world and various similar organizations, A.I.M members are largely about scientific progress that veers off into MadScience. Many members aren't particularly criminally inclined and more than happy to go legit. In the ''[[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain America: Sentinel of Truth]]'' series, Steve Rogers doesn't like A.I.M but Sharon Carter counters that many of them aren't criminals and everyone of the heroes currently helping Steve, all of them have a contact within A.I.M. Likewise Storm of the X-Men has a friend within A.I.M and she even invited him to a Hellfire Gala. New Mutants' Sunspot takes the cake, he made so many friendly acquaintances in A.I.M that he hired them and turned them into a hero team.
