* [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Casey Jones]] usually wears red, blue or white outfits along with a white hockey mask. In ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'', he wears a red and white outfit and a white mask (which gets broken quite frequently, as he mentions at one point) for most of the movie like most versions, but in the climax, he puts on dark clothes, a dark sports gear armor and a black metallic variant of his classic hockey mask.

** ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' had the Turtles wearing multicolored elbow and knee pads, like their [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 animated series counterparts]] ([[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original comic versions]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 and]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 most]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 adaptations]] wear brown ones instead). [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheMovie The Netflix finale movie]] had them switching to black ones.

** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Film/XMen1'' when Cyclops quips that ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} might prefer "yellow spandex" instead of his black leather. While it isn't the first recorded instance of this, it's certainly the TropeCodifier and generally what people immediately think of when this trope comes up. Notably, a short clip is on the first movie DVD in which Hugh Jackman runs around the set in a comic-accurate Wolverine costume, and absolutely nobody is taking it seriously. The leather suits turned out not be so good at moving around in, however; James Marsden has stated that the cast hated the tight leather suits and there is a blooper scene where he and Hugh Jackman can't scale a short concrete barrier because the suit refuses to move as much as they need to. This all becomes HilariousInHindsight when ''Deadpool 3'' set photos revealed Hugh in yellow and blue spandex [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREb59ul7X0op4CqG3-dAyrCCWD2pR0c8ToVQ&usqp=CAU looking awesome]].

* The costumes in ''[[Film/FantasticFour2015 Fant4stic]]'' are not unlike the black bodysuits from the original ''X-Men'' movies. This proved to be a huge mistake; the movie had the misfortune of coming out in an era where colorful superhero outfits were now much more common in movies -- even the X-Men films, which ''started'' the black leather trend, were starting to move away from it -- which just gave the detractors even more ammo. Conversely, the [[Film/FantasticFour2005 previous adaptation]] gave the team dark suits, but they were still blue and thus kept the recognizable look that they are known for, even if not as vibrant as the source material.
