Harvey Kent (Earth-Two) was usually shown at this level of dependency. During No Man's Land, Two-Face put James Gordon on trial for his 'illegal' alliance with Two-Face during an earlier plan to protect Gordon's territory, but when Renee Montoya noted that Gordon needed a defense, Two-Face tossed a coin to confirm that Harvey Dent would act as Gordon's defense lawyer, Dent's cross-examination of himself leading to Gordon's acquittal.Īt one point, Two-Face was so dependent on the coin for any of his criminal acts that he could be easily defeated by taking the coin away from him or preventing him from seeing the result of the flip. He once collaborated with the Joker and the Penguin to poison Batman, but when Robin suggested a coin-toss to decide the final outcome of the plan, Two-Face attacked the Penguin to get the antidote.
Two-Face often defers to his coin in choices of life and death, to the point that he will rely on the coin even if the subsequent flip jeopardizes his own plans.
Harvey also had the coin in his possession during Maroni's trial and it, like him, was defaced by the acid. When Dent obtained the coin, he learned that it was double-headed, leading to a mental breakdown. Using it, he would decide whether a young Harvey would be beat or not - the coin always landing on heads. In Post-Crisis stories, the coin once belonged to Harvey Dent's father before it entered his possession. If the coin lands on the unmarked side, he is compelled to commit acts of good. If the coin lands on the scarred side, Two-Face will pursue acts of evil. As Two-Face, he would flip the coin when making any significant life decisions.
After lawyer Harvey Dent found the coin at a murder, he was disfigured by the mobster throwing acid in his face, he took Maroni's lucky double-headed coin and defaced it. In Pre-Crisis continuities, the coin once belonged to mob boss Sal Maroni as his lucky coin.
