The Other Troper

The confusion in this thread shows the confusion about the trope, which is about sexy sports outfits. The ykttw says simply that it's "Overly skimpy outfits worn by athletes".

As for the wicks:

Characters.Batman: Catwoman is Spy Catsuit and Superheroes Wear Tights, not this.
Characters.Batman Beyond: Again, superheroes wear tights.
Batman Beyond: Same character as above.
Characters.Darkstalkers: That's just straight Leotard of Power.
YMMV.Degrassi: Not worn for sports as far as I can tell.
Doki Doki Majo Shinpan: Can't tell the context.
Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty: That's more Painted-On Pants if anything.
Characters.Metroid: The Zero suit isn't for sports (no, Super Smash Bros doesn't, or else Peach's Pimped-Out Dress would be for sports). There's a ykttw for futuristic spandex, by the way, which should cover this when launching.
Characters.Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Trinity: Can't tell the context, although this might be Who Wears Short Shorts instead of this trope.
Characters.Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: I know Heero's clothing isn't this trope.
Characters.Tales Of Legendia: Unless she's a Captain Ersatz of Evel Kineval, her outfit is not this trope.
Characters.Tenchi Muyo: Would be closest to superheroes wear tights.
The Ultimate Fighter: Correct.
Tron: Again, the future spandex in that upcoming ykttw.

So this really needs a name that makes the trope clear.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

There's already a thread on this, so I'm locking this one.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
