* The members of ''Gen13'' could do this for a period of time, thanks to high-technological bracelets. Grunge once grabbed Rainmaker's bracelet by mistake and didn't realize it until after he had used it to change costume.
* [[Superman]] can fake it by virtue of super-speed, although the question of ''where'' his street clothes go often arises; it's generally been [[Handwaved]] away, with "explanations" such as "super-compressed and hidden in a pocket in his cape".
* From ''[[The Mighty Thor]]''; Thor or anyone with similar powers (such as Beta Ray Bill and Thunderstrike) can switch from costume to street clothes by slamming his hammer to the ground. In some cases, this activates the user's powers and/or disguises the hammer as a walking stick. This was lampshaded in one comic with Thunderstrike when he asks Spider-Man to talk over lunch, but has to switch to get money. He says he has no idea where his civilian clothes go, "but at least my wallet's safe."

* Parodied in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]''; villainess Yzma and her lackey Kronk reach her lab by riding down a [[Mayincatec]] roller-coaster that fits them into lab-coats and goggles en-route. When the heroes later sneak into the lab, they also get stuffed into the very ill-fitting costumes.
* In the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "The Ties that Bind", Barda uses her Mega-Rod to swap her skimpy outfit for more modest and practical [[Powered Armor]].
