Spy Catsuit: Difference between revisions

* [[Robert Westall]]'s ''[[Futuretrack Five]]'' has Keri's motorcycle leathers. Frequently a zipper away from becoming Absolute Cleavage and regularly employed as a means to distract male policemen. So often used, during her career as a Racer, that's it gets referred to in-Verse as the Keri Roberts Victory Stretch And Yawn.

 

* Rather persistently averted in ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', where any given spy is much more likely to be in nightclub wear. There are also episodes featuring camo Army-style getups, various forms of local ethnic costume, and tourist gear. Somewhat effected anyway in that nearly all these costumes end up being form-fitting and flattering.

* ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' has the female lead, Emma Peel, and Cathy Gale before her, in this outfit frequently, and may have originated it. It didn't [[media:emma.jpg|look so out of place]] in the '60s. She also had a purple one.

* Lynda Carter's [[Wonder Woman]] wore one on a couple of rare occasions in which it replaced her regular costume when she needed to go swimming (likely lampshading the fact that her regular costume ''was'' basically a swimsuit). It actually fits the trope name because in the TV continuity, Diana Prince worked for a spy organization.

* Kochanski in the [[Red Dwarf]] Season 7, Episode "Ouroboros" (later destroyed in "Duct Soup").

* In ''[[Tales Of Gnosis College]]'', Ashley Madder wears one of these (explicitly modeled on the ''maillot de soie'' worn by Irma Vep in [[wikipedia:Les Vampires|''Les Vampires'']]) to infiltrate Professor Corwin's laboratory.

* ''[[Axe Cop]]'' wears a cat suit on night missions... [https://web.archive.org/web/20130515101730/http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_67 To actually pretend being a cat].

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* [[Gentleman Thief|Jeremy Archer]] from ''[[Shadow of the Templar]]'' wears one while he's "working". [[Mr. Fanservice|It's slick material and skintight]]. While [[FBI Agent|Simon]] doesn't approve of Jeremy's job, he ''does'' [[Dating Catwoman|approve of the catsuit]].

 

** 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.
