** Justified in that said catsuits are resistant to mundane blades (non-adamantium or energy blades, etc.), fireproof, and insulate the wearer from electrical shocks and extremes of heat and cold. They also have radar and infrared absorption capabilities (stealth), depending on the story.
** [[Ms. Marvel|Carol Danvers]], who did espionage work when she was depowered, noted that often, going unnoticed is less important than nobody remembering your face after you leave. Drawing attention to other areas can help with that.
* In Adam Warren's ''[[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]]'' comic, the heroine doesn't just wear a shiny skintight suit, it's a shiny skintight suit of power armor that tears like a wet hanky if she brushes against anything that has a point on it. Of course, his comic is a parody of all the tied-up, mostly naked superdamsels in distress he was drawing for commissions, but ''still''...
** "Empowered" goes well beyond skintight; the power suit is actually a membrane-thin piece of nothing that leaves the wearer effectively naked, while fighting crime in public. The point to 'Empowered' is to get your humiliation fetish in your ironically-titled supers fantasy.
* Similarly to the ''[[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]]'' example, [[Artificial Human]] Girl One from ''[[Top Ten]]'' wears what at first appears to be a full body catsuit. In reality, she's actually nude -- her creators gave her an aversion to clothing, while at the same time giving her body the ability to hide this fact via built in full body tattoo/bodypaint that she can control at will -- she typically looks like she's wearing a full body purple spandex catsuit with logos and patterns on it. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|They didn't explain this until several chapters in]].
* The [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]] in the [[Marvel Universe]].
* Oddly averted in ''Codename: Knockout'' -- though it's a spy parody practically made out of [[Fan Service]], the protagonist almost never wears her catsuit outside of covers.
