L and Near in Death Note seem to be this, although that information is mainly gleaned from a sequel manga chapter which may not even be canon and a spin-off novel by a different author.Jet weakly protests "I know you don't mean that, Spike!", and whether or not the crew as a whole are good for the sake of goodness or just for the cash is left ambiguous throughout. This is strictly business." (This distracts the robber - and enrages the hostage - sufficiently for him to get a clean shot off). But, we're not cops and we're not from some charity organization.

Should not be confused with a hero smashing his alarm clock. Only in It for the Money is a Sub-Trope, as is Not in This for Your Revolution. When things really come to a head and profit goes against morality, a hero of this sort will likely either show their better nature and find something greater and worth fighting for, or prove how circumstantial their heroism was and how easily fate can turn them to evil.

In some cases, he is destined to do so but refused the call, only to find out that You Can't Fight Fate. He's only going against the Big Bad because he has to. The Punch-Clock Hero isn't fighting for peace, revenge, or because it's the right thing to do.
