** Especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} in ''VideoGame/{{BioShock 2}}'', in which for the entire game you wear a watertight diving suit. No matter what happens, it never stops being watertight. Of course, big daddies are made by [[BodyHorror melding the subject's insides to the armor itself]], if they weren't made to endure what rapture dishes out, they'd probably spill out like soup if they ever got gashed enough.

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': The costumes of the Fantastic Four were all explicitly made by Reed Richards to adapt to their "unstable molecules".
** Reed Richard/Mister Fantastic's allows him to stretch as much as he wants without [[ClothingDamage tearing them off]].
** Sue Storm/Invisible Woman's original {{Invisibility}} powers only worked on her, she could extend her field to whatever mundane outfit she has on, but it would take effort, but the unstable molecules outfits Reed developed for the team allowed her to do it effortlessly. Once her {{Invisibility}} powers have been {{Retcon}}ned into being force fields, this aspect vanished entirely.
** Johnny Storm/Human Torch's powers [[ClothingDamage incinerate any clothes]] that weren't created with Reed's unstable molecules, which has often put him one some [[NakedPeopleAreFunny funny]] or [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside embarrassing]] situations. His suits can often even protect whatever he's carrying from getting burned. His skin itself ''is'' [[ImmuneToFire naturally immune to his powers]].
Reed Richards's suit stretches with his body, for instance, because it too is made of unstable molecules.

* ComicBook/BlackPanther's costume is lined with [[MadeOfIndestructium vibranium]], the same metal used to construct ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield. This makes the suit effectively bulletproof and very resistant to blunt force trauma. It can also [[InstantArmor instantly form around his body]], as well as retract when he no longer needs it.
* ComicBook/DoctorStrange's Cloak of Levitation is enchanted and all-but-indestructible, meaning he can use it for cover in a firefight. (The rest of his clothing, however...)
* The costumes of the ComicBook/FantasticFour are explicitly made of "unstable molecules". Even beyond that, though, the Invisible Woman transfers whatever makes her invisible to anything she picks up, the Human Torch can flame on while carrying a paper PlotCoupon, and The Thing doesn't always crush whatever he holds into dust.
** After Sue got her Force Fields powers, it became a Retcon that her Invisibility was a result of the Force Fields, and she can make anyone/anything Invisible. So she technically doesn't need a "special" costume anymore.

* In the short-lived "Threeboot" version of ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', it's established that Brainiac 5 had a very hard time designing a version of the Legion flight ring that would triplicate with Triplicate Girl when she used her powers.
* ComicBook/LukeCage at one point undergoes the process that made his skin invulnerable a second time while wearing a leather duster. The process doubles his powers while also making the duster invulnerable.
* In ''ComicBook/PowerPack,'' the titular characters have unstable molecular clothes created by [[SapientShip Friday]]. This is most notable for whichever kid currently has the HollywoodDensity power (usually Jack), since otherwise their clothes won't change with them. They also have a nifty InstantCostumeChange ability, appearing whenever one of the kids says "[[ByThePowerOfGreyskull Costume on]]!"

* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' Franchise/WonderWoman's suit is said to be indestructible, a claim supported by the Sangtee Empire drawing the same conclusion after confiscating it while enslaving her. It is implied to be interwoven with [[MadeOfIndestructium feminum]], the same indestructible metal as her bullet repelling gauntlets.

** The unstable molecules in Storm's costume allow her to instantly transform it into street clothes or vice versa by charging it with electricity.
** Colossus' traditional costume had MagicPants made of unstable molecules, exposing his thighs when he was in his metal form and allowing them to be decently covered while in human form. "Had" is the operative word. Ever since Colossus' [[BackFromTheDead return]] in ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen,'' whenever he's in his otherwise-just-like-day-one costume, he shows just as much leg in human form as in metal form.

* In Franchise/TheDCU, the reason why the various [[Franchise/TheFlash Flashes]] and other speedsters don't burn their clothing -- or themselves for that matter -- from air friction is that each has an invisible aura around their bodies to protect them. In fact, that's how the Barry Allen Flash first defeated his evil counterpart, [[Characters/TheFlashEobardThawne Professor Zoom]]. The villain bragged how he used a chemical coating to protect himself from air friction and Allen successfully bet that his aura was better protection when he starting pushing Zoom fast enough to have the resulting heat overwhelm his coating. [[Characters/TheFlashWallyWest Wally West]] literally had a super-suit made out of the Speed Force that powers all "speedsters". In the ComicBook/{{New 52}} relaunch, Barry Allen's super-suit is constructed of metal plates because regular clothes would simply burn off when he ran. The metal in his super-suit reacts differently to the Speed Force.
* Each member of the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps wears a special uniform generated by their power ring. Thus, as long as the ring is working properly, their work clothes are usually going to look great and clean by default.
* In John Ostrander's run as writer on ''ComicBook/MartianManhunter,'' it's established that the telepathic, shapeshifting Martians wear clothes that are actually bioengineered organisms that shapeshift in accordance with the wearer's telepathic commands.

* Common among the ComicBook/XMen. [[Characters/MarvelComicsNightcrawler Kurt Wagner]]'s, [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]]'s and [[Characters/XFactor Jamie Madrox]]'s clothes are {{teleport|ation}}ed, [[{{Intangibility}} phased]] and [[MesACrowd duplicated]] as well. The same goes for whatever they are holding. The {{story break|erPower}}ing potential of this is rarely touched upon. The reason for this is briefly explained in ''Giant-Size X-Men'' #1 as the X-Men's costumes being made of unstable molecules, provided by [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards]] (see below). Common in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse as a whole, really. Reed Richards's suit stretches with his body, for instance, because it too is made of unstable molecules. In the cases of Kurt and Kitty, this applies even when they're not in costume; they can bring anything they're touching along for the ride if they want. And can also leave their clothes behind if they want, but any such activity would happen off-panel. As for Jamie Madrox, apparently even some of his ''street clothes'' are made from unstable molecules; he once wore a trick [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]] T-shirt that, when he duplicated, left one of him with a Ren shirt and the other with a Stimpy shirt. Jamie never explained to his mystified teammates how that worked.

** The Costume Shop courses teach how to work with high-strength fabrics such as Kevlar. And Kevra, an improved light-weight form of Kevlar developed by a student. And diamond carbon-carbon nanotubules. And Adamantium. There is also a clothier in the nearby town who specializes in this, using her power over cloth and several high-tech devises to make both student uniforms and custom supersuits. Despite this, most of these are ''not'' subject to the mutants' own powers, as more than one student had found out the hard way.

Even mundane huge objects picked up by {{Super Hero}}es generally don't shatter and bend like would realistically happen -- the hero may have vast strength, but the area to which they could direct that strength is relatively small. (Witness Superman picking a car up by the bumper -- by rights it ought to tear off in his hands, leaving the car right where it was!)

* On ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice,'' [[SuperpowerLottery M'gann]] explains that her clothes are an organic Martian substance that she can shapeshift based on her thoughts. In the next season, [[{{Animorphism}} Gar]]'s superhero outfit turns into a collar when he takes animal form, and returns to normal when he looks [[LittleBitBeastly more]] human; WordOfGod confirms that it's also Martian clothing, except "programmed" with only two forms (since Gar's powers are derived from Martian's in this version, but he doesn't have the PsychicPowers necessary to make it into anything else).
