Since we're picking on Henry Pym today, let's look at an instance where he did his own version of DC's Identity Crisis...40 years early!!
We start with Pym being Pym:
Unfortunately, his above average oafishness was observed by "Second-Story Sammy," a loser of a burglar:
PRO-TIP: If you want to have a secret identity, don't carry around business cards with your real name on them. I'm just sayin.'
Well, after a rousing adventure wherein Sammy steals Pym's Giant-Man suit and engages in a series of growing/shrinking burglaries, he's caught. But given the chance, he doesn't spill Giant-Man's secret identity to the press. What gives?
"Just happened to have some memory-loss serum lying around"?!? Memory-loss serum?!?!?! So potent that it turns crooks straight??? Playing judge and jury on his own, just to selfishly protect the secret identity he would abandon eventually anyway?
Hank Pym--making Zatanna look ethical!!
From Tales To Astonish #62 (1964).

He just leaves it lying around because otherwise he'd forget where he put it.
