During any infiltration or stealth operation, the female lead will wear an impossibly tight catsuit. It's almost always black, may be shiny leather or latex. It's never a camo pattern or even mottled, and it can't have pockets except for a utility belt and/or gun holster. There will often be a single zipper on the front, which will result in a Navel-Deep Neckline when it's unzipped. The suit will frequently be accompanied by ridiculously high heels. If you see someone in one of these, there's little she can say to convince you she's not a spy (or a fetishist) outside of a Sci-Fi series. The writers may try to justify it, saying it's a stealth garment with sensor defeating properties — so she's seductively slathered herself in Applied Phlebotinum. It could be for freedom of movement (which make zero sense if the outfit is leather). It could be that she just swam up to the facility and can't ditch the wetsuit. In reality, it's to make the inevitable climbing, shimmying, flipping, and belly-crawling through the Laser Hallway look that much more like a lapdance. Of course, it might also be a deliberate invocation of Distracted by the Sexy and I Have Boobs, You Must Obey! against male guards/suspicious people she might encounter. Only shows up in Spy Fiction shows that go light on realism. Any action show that puts a female character through an infiltration scene will use it. Mostly used with at least a wink these days. Often extremely shiny, with vertical lines that accentuate the lady's... assets, against all logic. Popular variations: A male character uses one, especially an attractive one. (see Mr. Fanservice) It's some very bright color. The female spy shows up to the mission in normal, practical clothes, and males around her express disappointment. As you may have imagined, this is not something real-life (or realistic fictional) female operatives would wear in the field, though a black turtleneck and cargo pants will pull off a similar look while being much more practical. A variant of this is the tendency of female ninja in anime and superhero comics to wear excessively stripperiffic outfits.

The Daughters of Aku from Samurai Jack wear skintight black bodysuits when hunting for Jack... or so it appears; it's actually a layer of soot and ash that had been burned into their skin since childhood, and it takes Ashi a full night and scrubbing with a rock to clean it off as part of her Good Costume Switch. | |

Rather persistently averted in 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 affected anyway in that nearly all these costumes end up being form-fitting and flattering. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In Season 1 and 2, this is largely averted with more practical outfits for most agents, though they do still achieve the look with Skye/Daisy Johnson wearing a Form-Fitting Wardrobe of skinny jeans and a fitted fleece creating basically the Civvie Spandex version of this trope. After she undergoes her superhero origin, starting with Season 3 she switches to a more traditional spy catsuit, making her the only agent in the show to regularly wear one, though it's somewhat inferred to be in order to benefit her superpowers. The tightness of the suit was lampshaded by her actress Chloe Bennet when the suit was first unveiled, as she tweeted about how much of a wedgie it gave her to wear it. | |

On Castle, in "Undead Again", Rick and his daughter Alexis have been playing a single game of laser tag since she was five. At 18 and about to leave college, she tells him those days are over and she's grown out of it. Castle was already imminently quitting his adventures with Beckett and now realizes that he's losing his daughter as well. When she realizes how much she's hurt him, she later ambushes Castle, rappelling down from the ceiling in a catsuit to zap him. Cackling maniacally, she claims the whole thing was an act intended to catch him off-guard. | |

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 (Sam wears green, Alex wears yellow, and Clover wears red). At other times, the suits can change appearance to look like more ordinary clothing, subverting the skintight aspect of the trope. And yes, they come with high heels. In one episode, one of their gadgets is 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. |

RWBY: In "Dance Dance Infiltration", Cinder dons a very tight, cleavage-revealing catsuit to break into the communication tower. Her plan seems to have been to distract the guards with her provocative outfit and not to actually be even remotely stealthy. The addition of high-heeled boots helps, though she's not as hindered by them as Ruby Rose (who fought to try and stop her while still in her dance outfit). | |

This is subverted in The Batman & Robin Adventures #16 (a tie-in comic to the animated series), which introduced Catman as a villain inspired by Catwoman. So much so that he wears Catwoman's rather feminine-looking catsuit, which looks rather comical on a male figure. | |

The pilots in Neon Genesis Evangelion wear skin-tight plugsuits, the form only interrupted by attached equipment. The suit is actually vacuum-sealed to their body and they're specifically tailored to suit their personal body shape. This of course leads to embarrassment when Shinji gets dressed in a suit designed for a girl. | |

In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, a quartet of jewel thieves played by Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter, and Jennifer Schwalbach Smith (the wife of writer/director Kevin Smith) posing as animal rights activists wear these to steal diamonds while the eponymous heroes are duped into freeing animals from the lab next door as a diversion. Also parodied, in that the initial introduction to the suit-clad thieves is them explicitly showing themselves off to the camera with overblown, borderline ridiculous body poses to acknowledge how blatant the creators know the Fanservice is. | |

In Splinter Cell, the main character, a guy, wears a skintight black rubber suit. He often wears standard BDU pants on it, though. He is, after all, meant to be sneaking around silently, and often needs to fit through small spaces or perform acrobatic feats which would be made difficult with standard fatigues. Fisher also wears flak jackets and other types of body armor over the spysuit.◊ | |

Strangely enough, in Metal Gear, the Spy Catsuit is the domain of male spies. The female spies get to wear proper camo, suits, military uniforms, or flight suits. The Boss starts out in a proper BDU but switches this for a more "space age" type outfit. Eva in Metal Gear Solid 3 plays this pretty straight though, complete with the front-zipper cleavage, which features prominently in first-person cutscenes. The character designer for Metal Gear Solid admitted that Snake and Raiden's outfits, particularly Raiden's, were inspired by looking at bondage gear, probably an admission that it was an intended fetish. On the character art, he draws an arrow to Raiden's buttocks, explicitly pointing out where his underwear lines can be seen through his clothes — it's subtly visible on the in-game model itself. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has the Beauty and the Beast Corps. Every last one of whom are wearing a full spandex (actually nanotech) bodysuit covering what appears to be a complete neck-to-toe see-through latex catsuit. What's even more notable was that this wasn't even intended at first. Originally, they were supposed to be stark naked, but they had to edit it to catsuits because it would have given Metal Gear Solid 4 an Adult Only rating. |

Persona 5: Ann Takamaki wears a bright red skin-tight latex catsuit when engaging in Phantom Thief activities. This is actually an Invoked Trope In-Universe, as the outfit manifests as a portrayal of the Persona user's personal image of rebellion (so the main character is a Gentleman Thief, the uptight student council president gets biker gear, and so on), and for Ann, whose sex appeal has often made her a victim, that's alluring Femme Fatale villainesses who use their looks as a weapon. One might think that it only makes her highly visible, restricts her movements (not helped by coming with thigh-high boots with high heels), and provides no real physical protection while fighting Shadows, but A) It looks really cool, so who cares?, and B) Given that her catsuit is literally supernatural in origin, it might not quite have those problems to begin with. | |

Averted by the Reinforced Leather Armor in Fallout: New Vegas, whose male and female versions are equally modest. The Assassin Suit and Stealth Suit Mk II from the add-ons play this trope straight, as well as both increasing the player's Sneak skill, although the latter has fluorescent white stripes giving it away. | |

In Ghost in the Shell (1995), Major Kusanagi wears a spy catsuit that really is a stealth device, called thermoptic camouflage. In the movie at least, this technology is used fairly extensively, although she has to be nude to use it (or rather, a flesh-colored skinsuit. The suit leaves a noticeable neckline where her skin color contrasts with the suit's.) It's somewhat less drastic in other iterations, which look more practical. While the Major's normal combat wear shows more curves than the standard models, it's generally quite practical, and her male squadmates wear active camouflage suits of the same design. The major exception to this is in the Stand Alone Complex the 2nd Gig episode Cash Eye, which plays with the infiltration and espionage tropes, and repeated references to Ocean's Eleven, and has her wear a catsuit that fits this trope to a tee with little purpose. Perhaps the outfit led the android fetishist Corrupt Corporate Executive to mistake her for a combat android instead of the Major and was different enough that he would not recognize the Major as being the same person when he met her. Although the episode does reference Cat's Eye (see above) with the 'Cash Eye' logo. |

Sabrina: The Animated Series had an episode that parodied the spy genre, where Sabrina accidentally casts a spell that makes them live out Harvey's favourite spy movie. She ends up in a black bodysuit that appears to be a Shout-Out to Emma Peel of The Avengers - although thankfully the more practical variant mentioned above since Sabrina is only twelve in this version. It can of course be hand waved as part of the spell (since Harvey's umbrella can magically deflect ice lollies fired out of a gun). | |

Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe frequently wears these. In Iron Man 2, she even once changed out of her dress and into the suit in the back of a moving car. The driver nearly crashed the car. The Avengers (2012) also shows S.H.I.E.L.D. in full, showcasing how every other agent dresses. For the most part, it seems everyone wears either this, military fatigues, suit-and-tie/office wear, or something resembling Star Trek suits. Black Widow (2021) establishes the black catsuit as the uniform of all Black Widows. Natasha ditches hers early in the movie after going on the run before donning a white version during a mission to a snowy area. During the climax of the movie she and Melina swap suits, putting Melina in white and Natasha back in her signature black.

In the Fallout 3 DLC Operation: Anchorage, one of the rewards for completing the simulation is the Chinese Stealth Armor, which gives the wearer a permanent stealth field while sneaking. Although both male and female characters can equip it, the enemies who wear it are all males. Unlike most examples here, the Chinese Stealth Armor is a great asset to an infiltrator, which makes this a justification or subversion, depending on your angle. It is also present in Fallout: New Vegas, although without its Invisibility Cloak capability. | |

Pookie, a Pervect bodyguard from Myth Adventures, wears one of these as her work clothes, along with a short cape. How much this qualifies as Fanservice depends on whether the reader is into bald, rail-thin women with green scales. | |

As pointed out below, these crop up a lot in Warhammer 40,000 fiction. In Eisenhorn and Ravenor "bodygloves" are popular for both men and women. Inquisitor Amberley Vail wears something a lot like one to fit into and interface with her Powered Armor, and the sight is enough to distract even Ciaphas Cain from the prospect of imminent danger... | |

Keira Cameron on Continuum has one that was originally gold but plot developments changed it to the standard black in the first season. Unlike most examples, the suit contains a bunch of advanced technology that does give her a great advantage in a fight and the fanservice it provides seems more incidental. When the bad guys get their own catsuit later on they put it on their giant male leader instead of the attractive women on the team. | |

Mass Effect: Miranda's outfit is initially something of a subversion, as it's actually white, but then later played straight as it's upgraded to black. Miranda's outfit also has a cutout in the front stopping right above her breasts that is not commonly seen on outfits of this type. The second Appearance Pack DLC lets players swap out the catsuit for a far more practical suit of Cerberus armor. Kasumi has a similar outfit, but with less Fanservice. Every Quarian ever wears a skintight bodysuit, though they have a reasonable excuse. Seems to be the normal outfit of Asari Commandoes. "Commando leathers" are mentioned a few times in an explicitly fetishistic context. The Nemesis and 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 armor in 3 has some catsuit qualities to it. In the same game, there's Eva Coré, who's kitted out in the same catsuit as Miranda, which can then later be put on EDI for no fathomable reason. |

Fallout: In the Fallout 3 DLC Operation: Anchorage, one of the rewards for completing the simulation is the Chinese Stealth Armor, which gives the wearer a permanent stealth field while sneaking. Although both male and female characters can equip it, the enemies who wear it are all males. Unlike most examples here, the Chinese Stealth Armor is a great asset to an infiltrator, which makes this a justification or subversion, depending on your angle. It is also present in Fallout: New Vegas, although without its Invisibility Cloak capability. The main game also has the Leather Armor, although it doesn't affect one's stealth stats, and the Recon Armor. Averted by the Reinforced Leather Armor in Fallout: New Vegas, whose male and female versions are equally modest. The Assassin Suit and Stealth Suit Mk II from the add-ons play this trope straight, as well as both increasing the player's Sneak skill, although the latter has fluorescent white stripes giving it away. Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC has the Marine Wetsuit. |

Batman: Catwoman, of course, wears a catsuit. However, this Newer Than They Think, as Selina only started wearing a bodysuit in the sixties TV show, previously wearing a green or purple dress. This is subverted in The Batman & Robin Adventures #16 (a tie-in comic to the animated series), which introduced Catman as a villain inspired by Catwoman. So much so that he wears Catwoman's rather feminine-looking catsuit, which looks rather comical on a male figure. Talia Al-Ghul is prone to wearing these when she actually fights, Depending on the Writer. They also often feature a Navel-Deep Neckline or a Cleavage Window. |

Star Trek: Seven of Nine and T'Pol aren't spies but still wear catsuits. Handwaved for Seven — her part-Borg physiology required a specialised suit. Incredibly, T'Pol herself explained that her choice of clothing was largely based on her "appreciation for aesthetics". That's right, the Ms. Fanservice Straw Vulcan stated in-universe that she wore a catsuit purely out of vanity. Deanna Troi (also not a spy) also wore them for much of the run of TNG, although she switched to a standard uniform in the sixth season. After this, she's occasionally still seen in the catsuits when off duty. TNG had an egregious example in the episode "Legacy". They arrive on a planet that's broken down into gang warfare where they meet Ishara Yar, the sister of deceased crew member Tasha Yar. Ishara is wearing a completely practical outfit given her situation. They beam her aboard and put her in a tight catsuit with matching phaser holster. |

Used rather bizarrely in Death Note, where professional thief Wedy wears a classic '60s 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. | |

Persona: Mitsuru from Persona 4: Arena onward wears one underneath her white fur coat. Persona 5: Ann Takamaki wears a bright red skin-tight latex catsuit when engaging in Phantom Thief activities. This is actually an Invoked Trope In-Universe, as the outfit manifests as a portrayal of the Persona user's personal image of rebellion (so the main character is a Gentleman Thief, the uptight student council president gets biker gear, and so on), and for Ann, whose sex appeal has often made her a victim, that's alluring Femme Fatale villainesses who use their looks as a weapon. One might think that it only makes her highly visible, restricts her movements (not helped by coming with thigh-high boots with high heels), and provides no real physical protection while fighting Shadows, but A) It looks really cool, so who cares?, and B) Given that her catsuit is literally supernatural in origin, it might not quite have those problems to begin with. |

Kim Possible: Notably for a show about an Action Girl, this trope is used very sparingly with the main character. Kim's usual mission wear is more practical, although in the early seasons, it bares her midriff. A "Stealth Suit" is introduced in the second season but is only used once. Also, the overweight Gadgeteer Genius Wade wears one of his own. A "battle suit" is also introduced in the Series Fauxnale movie, but it was retired in the Post-Script Season because it was too much of a Game-Breaker. Her best friend-turned-boyfriend Ron also wears it once, but he's slim and cute enough that it doesn't veer into Fan Disservice territory. The same cannot be said for Professor Dementor and her cousin Larry, who also puts the suit on. Her Dark Action Girl nemesis Shego plays this trope straight. |

The catsuit is the basic uniform for agents in Marvel's spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D., for men and women (and, as seen in the 1990s miniseries Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D., even pudgy overweight male administrators). 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. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, such as Agent Sharon Carter, would also don white S.H.I.E.L.D. tactical catsuits. Madame Hydra and Madame Viper, S.H.I.E.L.D. nemeses, were known for their green/black catsuits. Black Widow, originally an Iron Man/Daredevil/Avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D./Spider-Man nemesis and later a member of The Avengers and the Champions, wore catsuits from the mid-seventies, often working alongside S.H.I.E.L.D. 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. Kate Bishop, the second Hawkeye, wears a purple catsuit in Hawkeye (2012). Matt Fraction has stated this was a deliberate Shout-Out to Emma Peel since he writes Kate and Clint with a similar dynamic to that of Steed & Peel. |

The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall features form-fitting "Khajit suits" as a clothing item that can be worn under outerwear and actual armor. They do not inherently have stealth bonuses, but it is possible to obtain and make enchanted ones that enhance stealth-related skills or allow the wearer to become invisible. Downplayed by the Dark Brotherhood armor in Morrowind's Tribunal expansion. It is black and leathery, but it is still a bit bulkier than most examples of the trope. Played straight by the Dark Brotherhood's armor in Oblivion, now called "Shrouded Armor", which takes this appearance on females and a Ninja-like appearance on males. Shrouded Armor in Skyrim looks much the same as it does in Oblivion, but adds more red to its color palette. |

Cat's Eye, anyone? Spy catsuits complete with Xtreme plunging necklines and built-in high heels, for added stealth obviously. Despite this, this example is a bit more realistic than most — the catsuits are neither latex nor leather, but lycra, and are similar to what real gymnasts wear. They don them again in the climax of City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes, their first animated appearance since 1985. The same outfits are worn by Ayumu, Eucliwood, and Seraphim during a parody of the series in the Is This A Zombie? OVA. Similar outfits in different colors are worn by the Akudarma Trio (Tsubuyakky and Suzukky included) in an episode of Time Bokan 24. City Hunter from the same author has Kasumi Aso, a walking Shout-Out to Cat's Eye that of course dons the outfit during heists. In her debut arc Kaori, trying to not be outdone, puts on the same outfit... And they're immediately floored (alongside the author's assistants) when Ryo engages in variation number 1 just to not be left out. |

Batman Returns, the first cinematic appearance of Catwoman, naturally has a skintight black catsuit. But it may be justified by two factors: a) Selina Kyle gets pushed out a window, falling several feet into the alley below, and revives by supernatural means so presumably whatever also gave her the ability to suddenly pull off impressive gymnastics and survive electrocution allows her plenty of mobility. And b) she's implied to have stitched it together herself as part of her Makeover Montage, so one can assume she made it possible to move around in. Of course, out of universe, the costume itself was a nightmare to get in and out of, and Michelle Pfeiffer couldn't even go to the bathroom while wearing it. | |

Dead or Alive also features some catsuits for good measure, both male and female. Apart from Hayabusa's own catsuit (which debuted in this series in Ultimate), the most popular ones are Christie's WHITE catsuit and Kasumi's ninja catsuit in DOA5 (which looks pretty similar to Hayabusa's). Not to forget Tina's infamous LITERAL catsuit. | |

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).

In the original Ninja Gaiden games, protagonist Ryu Hayabusa wears a traditional blue ninja outfit with no sleeves. The Xbox series changed this to a black outfit that is more in line with the trope (consisting of a tight-fitting synthetic bodysuit that wouldn't be out of place being worn by a modern espionage agent like Sam Fisher but retaining some trappings of the profession, such as tabi) and given the title of "the Legendary Black Falcon". | |

In A Dance with Rogues, you can purchase a number of different catsuits from the Family's fences, with the Flavor Text actually stating that the Family provides them to operatives for important break-in jobs. This being a D&D-based fantasy setting, the catsuits are actually enchanted to confer numeric bonuses to stealth skills (as well as having a decent defense rating), making them a great alternative to regular clothes and armor. The only downside is that you cannot wear them in public, or the guards will identify you as a professional burglar on sight. While these regular catsuits don't have high heels, some high-level custom ones (like the Assassin's Waistcoat) do—but even then, their huge skill bonuses easily negate the high heels' -2 penalty on Move Silently skill. | |

Seen occasionally in Warhammer 40,000. Several Eldar have one, but it's pretty much standard issue for the Officio Assassinorum agents of the Imperium. Some employ chameleonic mimicry abilities, others have no special reason apart from being fetish material. In one of the newer novels, this tendency is repeatedly lampshaded when several characters can't keep their eyes from the girl-assassin brought up by a rather puritanical sect who would most likely kill them if she had any idea why they looked at her like that... And, of course, there's the Harlequins in their skin-tight acrobat leotard that emits hologram fields. |

El Goonish Shive uses the second type of subversion during the Painted Black arc, where three female characters are put into brightly-colored catsuits for an infiltration/rescue mission. This is only clear in the colored strips, though, not the standard black-and-white artwork.

Since her rainbow-colored tail is not covered by the suit, she ends up being highly visible, and hilarity ensues... In "It's About Time", Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike each don into one in order to sneak into the Canterlot Archives. Pinkie dons one again at the beginning of "The Crystal Empire – Part 1", with Splinter Cell-style Night-Vision Goggles. Fluttershy dons her own spysuit (fan-named dangerous mission suit) in "Magic Duel". Hers comes with bunny ears. |

Doctor Who: Jean Marsh, as Sara Kingdom in the First Doctor era, wore an Emma Peel-style catsuit in "The Daleks' Master Plan". Her character was actually a bona fide spy, or at least an agent of a paramilitary organization. Wendy Padbury, as Zoe Heriot in the Second Doctor era, wore a sparkly catsuit, most famously in "The Mind Robber". Played with in "Planet of the Dead". Lady Christina de Souza's outfit looks like a catsuit at first glance but is actually a jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and boots. As a result, her outfit is actually more practical and less conspicuous than an actual catsuit would have been. "The Pandorica Opens": While breaking into the Royal Collection, River Song wears a tight black outfit that shows off her cleavage. |

Both PlanetSide 1 and the sequel have infiltrators of both genders don a latex-like form-fitting suit that allows them to cloak. The color schemes in the original game are subdued versions of the player's empire colors (red, blue, or purple) with heavy usage of dark grays, but the sequel goes all out and gives them brightly colored chest plates in the player's faction color. | |

The Avengers (1960s) has the female lead, Emma Peel, and Cathy Gale before her, in this outfit frequently. It didn't look so out of place◊ in the '60s. She also had a purple one. This was, essentially, the entire point behind the character. Her name alludes to it, even: Emma Peel ==> M. Appeal or Man Appeal. (Her original name was the less subtle 'Mantha Peel, but it was changed perhaps on account of being the unsexiest name in television history) In later Emma Peel seasons, this ended up as a Justified Trope. Diana Rigg insisted on switching from the black leather catsuit to a colored jersey version — just as skintight, but far more practical for gymnastically kicking mooks in. It worked in the '60s just because it was less Stripperiffic than modern versions, and looked like something a motorcycle-riding woman would wear. In fact, many male and female bikers wear something similar but more colourful right now. As time went on, catsuits began to shine, reveal, and tighten to the point of asphyxiation. |

Arya from Inheritance Cycle wears a black, leather suit. Brings up some serious dissonance, because she's a vegetarian on the basis that she finds killing an animal for food cruel. | |

Star Wars Legends: Lampshaded in Legacy of the Force: Invincible; Jaina Solo more-or-less complains about how the suit she stole from a GAG soldier is more suitable for someone trying to draw some attention to themselves: ...a full size too small, and snug in all the wrong places for a woman trying to avoid attention. We also have a straight example in Mara Jade Skywalker — made even more obvious in the Japanese covers for the New Jedi Order novels as well as that of Sacrifice. |

Similarly to the Empowered example, Artificial Human Girl One from Top 10 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. They didn't explain this until several chapters in. | |

Daggerfall features form-fitting "Khajit suits" as a clothing item that can be worn under outerwear and actual armor. They do not inherently have stealth bonuses, but it is possible to obtain and make enchanted ones that enhance stealth-related skills or allow the wearer to become invisible. | |

Metroid's Samus Aran has been wearing a bright blue catsuit dubbed the Zero Suit underneath her Power Suit ever since Metroid: Zero Mission. This being Metroid, however, you only actually get to play as her in it in three games (one of them the aforementioned Zero Mission, while Metroid: Other M gives it combat wedges despite a footnote from a prior appearance saying not to), though her look in the Zero Suit is a regular at the Super Smash Bros. games nowadays. | |

In a How I Met Your Mother ninth season flashback episode (most were), Robin is shown wearing a purple spy-type cat-suit and being referred to as a spy. Several fans spoofed this being because "Robin Scherbatsky" was a cover identity for S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: "Sabrina the Teenage Writer" - when Sabrina's spy novel comes to life, one of her characters Vivian Soontodie appears in one of these. Libby mistakes her for Valerienote Sabrina based all the characters on her friends and so they are played by the same actors and mocks her for wearing a catsuit. Vivian kicks her. In one of the novelizations, when her Aunt Vesta insists she'll pick Sabrina's prom dress, Sabrina panics at the thought that she'll be forced to wear one of these. She has a Catapult Nightmare involving her nearly dying of asphyxiation while trying to dance in it. |

In Lupin III, one of Fujiko Mine's outfits is a black leather spy catsuit which she frequently doesn't zip up all the way. Lupin himself wears this on occasion.

TNG had an egregious example in the episode "Legacy". They arrive on a planet that's broken down into gang warfare where they meet Ishara Yar, the sister of deceased crew member Tasha Yar.
