One of the Slice of Life short stories ("Shooting Skeets At Night") involves one of the characters making maintenance on the weapons of one of these, and one of the recurring characters, Roger Hackett, actually uses a Secret Identity to fulfill his assignment of living in one of these in between missions. Coreline: Stingray Security Services holds various hidden weapons caches all over Chicago (and not unsubtly implied, the world) for covert operations.She isn't in a position to use them during the rebellion, but her fellow District 7 victor Keith is when he decides to take on 20 peacekeepers singlehandedly. Checkmate (Anla'Shok): Johanna Mason keeps several loaded guns under her floorboards.In Rick and Morty, the builder of the Clackspire labyrinth, Rick, filled the place with hidden panels containing supplies in case he ever ended up in there.Whereas the end of The Punisher MAX reveals Frank had eight million dollars total and enough guns to arm a country in New York alone.In Age of Ultron it's revealed that Nick had one of Doctor Doom's time platforms stored away in the Savage Land, along with some old Iron Man armor and a bunch of other stuff.Both The Punisher and Nick Fury are known to have storage caches and safehouses all over the place.In some cases, he would however go to the length of actually placing henchmen (or possibly hench androids) in the prison general population, just to ensure that he would have access to the few components needed for his getaway gadget (teleporter, disintegration beam, etc.) that he couldn't pilfer from an ordinary alarm clock or radio, should he ever happen to be sent to that particular prison. At the very least, he would have a stash of equipment hidden (say, in a fake tree) outside every prison he might get sent to (he was also portrayed as something of an escape artist, so getting outside the prison walls usually wasn't a problem). The Silver Age Lex Luthor used to be Crazy-Prepared in this way for escaping prison (but only for that, not for defeating Superman).In Red Robin it's made clear that not only does Tim have multiple stashes of weapons, clothes and medical supplies hidden around Gotham he's also got at least two stripped down to basics hidden bases with garage space for his bike, tricked out computers and room for him to sleep.He finds to his chagrin that he's grown a bit since he hid the handiest clothing stash away and it all fits uncomfortably tight. In Robin Tim has to go to an old stash of his civilian clothes after The Flash runs him back to Gotham to be with Stephanie while she was giving birth.The actual locations vary as required by the plot, but it's usually accepted that one of them is somewhere under Arkham, which is a major plot point in Batman: Arkham Asylum. Post- Knightfall he goes so far as to set up a dozen duplicate Batcaves all over Gotham, each stocked with everything from a backup database to spare vehicles.Batman is also known for having another set of Batman gear at the Wayne Enterprises building. (The attackers were non-human monsters, so he wasn't worried about exposing his Secret Identity.) In an issue of Trinity, Bruce Wayne is attacked in the small woods he has on his estate, and is no more than 30 yards from a fake tree with a full set of Bat-gear inside. Being Crazy-Prepared, Batman does this too, though within the house, he's more inclined to have ordinary objects that just "happen" to be usable as weapons lying about.
