However, despite his sarcasm and BrutalHonesty, it's clear Virgil doesn't exactly ''enjoy'' this, and hates being the outsider all the time. Over time, Virgil mellows out and begins working ''with'' Thomas, and it becomes clear that he really does have Thomas' best interests at heart.

** Montoya is both a [[JustifiedCriminal justified]] and sympathetic small-time criminal who was really only doing dirty work for a major corporation out of a need for money. The extent of his dirty work can basically be summed up as "driving a couple of stolen vehicles and covering for his partners'' -- still illegal, but pretty small compared to said partners. The other crooks he is working with would technically qualify as well, since none of them had any real issues with Dacta Corp. and were simply doing their job because they were being paid.
** Even Silencia Venomosa has some traits of a Punch-Clock Villain, seeing as she won't go out of her way to kill someone unless she is hired to do so, and she's really only in it for the money.

* In the story "Boston Brawl 2" of the WhateleyUniverse, the BigBad brings his QuirkyMinibossSquad and also four mercenaries in case the heroes show up. One mercenary, the Anti-Paladin, is appalled that - while they wait for the signal - a couple other of the mercenaries are sitting around playing a videogame. Definitely Punch Clock Villain material.
