Perhaps the most common type of outfit in superhero stories. Heroes and villains wearing full body suits of spandex, nylon, or some other fabric (even {{Phlebotinum}}). This was because early superhero outfits were based on the outfits worn by people in the circus, including the bright colors that made them visually distinctive, and it stuck as a tradition, even as the days of the circus waned. Showing off their bodies as if they were almost naked likely didn't hurt either.

Okay, the real reason I put that stupid no examples message up was because I\'m (still) so pissed at DC and Marvel that I don\'t even want to touch most of those pages, but there is no reason for me to say other\'s shouldn\'t.



''This is [[OmnipresentTrope so common]] it would be easier to list superheroes that '''don't''' wear tights, but even those would be covered by other tropes. So instead examples should be on work pages.''
