Line 39:
** The same outfits are worn by [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Ayumu]], Eucliwood, and Seraphim during a parody of the series in the ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?]]'' OVA.
* Used rather bizarrely in ''[[Death Note]]'', where professional thief Weddy wears a classic 60's style catsuit (built in high-heels and all) while infiltrating a building, for no apparent reason. Possibly justified in that the series artist has admitted basing her on stereotypical female spy archetypes, but it still clashes with the feel of the story.
* Natsuki Kuga in ''[[
* In ''[[Lupin III]]'', one of [[Ms. Fanservice|Fujiko Mine]]'s regular outfits is a black leather spy catsuit which she frequently [[Absolute Cleavage|doesn't zip up all the way]].
** The 1969 Pilot Film had Lupin in one, in a shot that gets homaged throughout the series.
Line 114:
* One episode of ''[[Walker, Texas Ranger]]'' had the rangers break into a vault (for some reason). The relatively minor female ranger does it because "She's the only one that can fit into the stealth suit."
* Wendy Watson in ''[[The Middleman]]''. Actually, she wears one in the opening credits, but "The Obsolescent Cryogenic Meltdown" is the first episode in which she wore one within the episode.
* Eartha Kitt wore in an episode of ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' where she guest starred as an acrobat-contortionist used by the IMF to crawl through the vents of a foreign embassy.
* ''[[Honey West]]'' often wore a bodystocking in a clear mimicry of Emma Peel's "Emmapeeler" catsuit. Unless she actually predated it. In which case, it wasn't a clear mimicry at all.
* Parker in ''[[Leverage]]'' is fond of these... ''under'' street clothes or bulky harnesses that provide pockets and carabiner loops.
Line 133:
== Tabletop Games ==
* Seen occasionally in ''[[Warhammer
** And, of course, there's the Harlequins in their skin-tight acrobat leotard that emits hologram fields.
Line 169:
** The [[Cold Sniper|Nemesis]] and [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Phantom]] Cerberus troops of [[Mass Effect 3]] are women dressed in these, in sharp contrast with other Cerberus soldiers who are men in [[Powered Armor]].
** Ashley's alternate armour in 3 has some catsuit qualities to it. In the same game, there's Eva Core, who's kitted out in the same catsuit as Miranda, which can then later be put on {{spoiler|EDI}} for no fathomable reason.
* The Ghosts in ''[[
* Natalya wears one in the last location of [[Destroy All Humans!]] 2. Lampshaded in one conversation, wherein Krypto asks her how she managed to fit in it. Her response? "Shoehorns and lubricant."
* [[Street Fighter IV|C. Viper]], a CIA [[Double Agent]] wears a black catsuit with a [[Sexy Backless Outfit|heart-shaped cutout]] in the back as one of her alternate outfits.
* In ''Resident Evil'', {{spoiler|Jill Valentine}} sported a dark purple one while she was under Wesker's control in the [[Resident Evil|fifth game]]. She has subsequently appeared in it in ''[[Resident Evil: Afterlife]]'' and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
** And don't forget when she's aiding Josh Stone in DLC, ''Desperate Escape''.
* Jenny sports a tight racing suit in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]''.
Line 201:
* ''[[Aeon Flux]]'' wore an even less practical outfit on her missions. It must be [[media:Aeon Flux.jpg|seen]] to be disbelieved.
** Turns out all Monicans wear this.
* On ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', the uniform worn by the three teenage girl spies is a shiny plastic catsuit. The stealth part of the trope is usually subverted, as each suit is of a unique bright color. At other times, the suits can change appearance to look like more ordinary clothing, subverting the skintight aspect of the trope.
** In one episodes, one of their gadgets were a "literal" catsuit, a skintight black suit with cat ears on the hood. It was specifically designed to give the wearer the nimbleness of a cat.
** The catsuits on ''[[The Amazing Spiez]]'' manage to be quite stealthier as parts of them are black along with the usual bright coloring. They also include shoulder and knee pads, unlike their predecessors.
