** In the story "Three Supermen From Krypton!" (''Superman'' #65) from 1950, a rocket crashes on Earth and releases a trio of brothers from Krypton. These brothers attempted to conquer Krypton with a DoomsdayDevice, but were thwarted by Jor-El. Because of ThouShaltNotKill, Jor-El chose to seal the brothers in a rocket in suspended animation, which ironically saved them from Krypton's destruction. After drifting in space for a time, a piece of space debris hitting the rocket freed them. At the end of the story, Superman rebuilds the rocket, reseals and sends the brothers away.

* ''ComicBook/{{Annihilators}}'': Star-Thief has been imprisoned in the deepest level of the Halfworld mental asylum. To prevent him from using his psychic powers to take over the staff and release himself, they put the whole facility into lockdown and adjusted the security protocols so that a lockdown can only be lifted if every single member of the staff is present and agrees to it. Rocket Raccoon, Halfworld's chief of security, then left the planet and wiped his own memories so that he would never try to come back, thus ensuring that Star-Thief could never get out. Unfortunately, Star-Thief found a way to lure Rocket back home...

** ComicBook/{{Loki}}'s first appearance shows him imprisoned inside a tree. He would become free only if his captivity causes someone to shed a tear. No one missed Loki strongly enough to want to cry, so he forces Heimdall to shed a tear by poking him in the eye with a leaf. Let's just say Loki was sealed and/or [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment punished]] in one way or another so many times in the years that some incarnations (like the ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' one) outright claimed to be the [[EscapeArtist bona fide expert on escaping from them]]. ''Why'' people still try to imprison Loki is a great mystery.
