* ''ComicBook/Aquaman1989'' opened with Atlantis conquered by evil giant jellyfish. Seeking a quick way into the city, Aquaman used his prison garb costume to his advantage and was quickly captured in a net... only to find the invaders had also rigged it with a charge of electricity. From there he leads LaResistance from prison.
* In ''Recap/AsterixAndTheLaurelWreath'', Asterix and Obelix are trying to get into Caesar's palace, or close enough to Caesar himself to steal his laurel wreath. They first try selling themselves as slaves but get bought by the wrong person. Then they head to the palace anyway and are arrested and imprisoned, accused of trying to assassinate Caesar. Their lawyer tells them that they're sure to be thrown to the lions, which they assume Caesar will witness. When the trial seems like it might get them freed, Asterix argues in favor of his own conviction, all in a ploy to get close to Caesar. [[spoiler:It turns out to be AllForNothing since Caesar wasn't in Rome on the day they're to be executed.]]
* In ''ComicBook/DCComicsPresents #5'', Superman and Aquaman find someone has instigated war between Poseidonis and Tritonis. Needing to speak with the ruling council of Tritonis, they initially start fighting the guards before realizing it'd be easier to surrender and be led there as prisoners. (As it turns out, Ocean Master had usurped the Tritonians and was leading both sides into war.)

* A mistaken case happens in ''ComicBook/{{Noob}}''. [[ManChild Sparadrap]] lets himself get captured by players from the opposing in-game faction due to thinking it's part of a game. The reason the enemy players captured him is that they are convinced that he is much higher in his faction's pecking order than he actually is after an InvincibleIncompetent-type confrontation with him. One of them realizes that Sparadrap could be wanting to get into their headquarters on purpose just a few seconds before Sparadrap suddenly gets bored and asks to get untied, getting him mistaken for realizing he's been discovered.

The plotline involving Sparadrap's guildmates happens to to bring the latter to that very same location right when this happens, which does not help Sparadrap's case in the eyes of the captors.
