Line 35:
* Ryoko's skintight battlesuit from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'''s Puru Two, although not too noticeable since [[Token Mini-Moe|she doesn't]] [[Pettanko|have a figure]] to begin with. If she did, it would likely be similar to a Plugsuit.
* In ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' Season 4, the new [[Digital Avatar|Digital Avatars]]s of the heroes -- boysheroes—boys and girls alike -- havealike—have a serious Future Spandex look. Being virtual costumes, they don't have to be realistic... but still, they're supposedly designed by Jérémie, a 13-year-old [[Teen Genius]] (except for William up there, who got his custom-made by ''XANA''). You have to wonder what was going through their minds... (though on the other hand, maybe that makes it a [[Justified Trope]]).
* Subverted in a ''[[Futurama]]'' episode in which the robot Bender steals lots of stuff from a public swimming pool in an attempt to gain notoriety; he also stole a banana hammock of sorts, which he wears.

Line 44:
* In more recent years, Tony Stark usually wears something along the lines of this under his regular civilian attire. [[Justified Trope]] in that it's meant to interface with his [[Iron Man]] [[Powered Armor|suit]].
** Part of his Extremis upgrade meant that this "inner suit" was kept within his bones and he could manifest it at any time. This inner suit is also present in his ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (comics)|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]'' incarnation.
* ''[[DC One Million]]'' has [[Superheroes Wear Tights|Superhero Spandex]] that is ''also'' Future Spandex -- theSpandex—the present day heroes note that their future counterparts' costumes are shiny, seamless and ''even more formfitting'', and wonder what they're made from.
* Worn by [[Star Fox|Fara Phoenix]] in 1993's [[Nintendo Power]] comics. It's a rather [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe|tight]] [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|fit]].

* A sadly-cut bit of ''[[GURPS]] IOU'' was the Department of Zen Aerobics. Classes consisted of sitting in a [[Lotus Position]], watching aerobics on TV. "It has no known practical applications, but the classes are ''very'' popular."
* In ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', Imperial Assassins (of all schools, but especially the majority-female Callidus), wear uniforms that are quite literally sprayed on -- theon—the substance (called SynSkin) comes in large aerosol cans and provides whole-body protection from various airborne toxins and temperature variation whilst allowing the skin to breathe properly, but only if applied ''directly'' to naked flesh.
** In the more recent ''Dark Heresy'' series of ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' [[RPG|RPGs]]s by Fantasy Flight Games, Synskin has been changed to 'a bio-reactive bodyglove with an inert non-reflective surface that molds itself to the wearer's form'. In other words, it isn't literally sprayed on anymore, though it's still [[Future Spandex]].
