* This was the general intention of ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' which is a grounded DarkerAndEdgier take on the Marvel 616 universe. While costumed heroes and villains do appear, it's only in flashbacks to Characters/JessicaJones's time as a superhero which ended horrifically thanks to the Purple Man. In the present Jess, Characters/LukeCage and Jessica Drew ([[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]]) favour trench coats for fighting instead of costumes with a coy reference to ''Film/TheMatrix'' being made. When asked why she isn't wearing her spider suit Jessica jokes that it made her ass look big ([[SensualSpandex which is true]]).
* The ByronicHero "V" in ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' wears a [[CoatHatMask costume, mask, and cape]]. While he is a WellIntentionedExtremist rather than a traditional superhero, it is kind of odd that no other characters think "superhero" when they see him.

* Usually averted in ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'', where the heroes wear spandex but during the lengthy period where Mark and Eve give up being heroes and leave Earth with their baby daughter they play this straight while being no less super than they always are, just dressed more casually. To lampshade this change the comic's subtitle puts a strikethrough the "superhero" part of the "The best superhero comic in the universe". When Mark and Eve finally re-don their hero costumes to fight Thragg in 134# it's cathartic for both them and the reader.

* ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk is one of the straightest examples of this in comics and the first real case of this in Marvel compared the other superheroes at the time e.g Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. His default look of big shirtless green muscly guy in purple pants is so iconic by itself, that tights and a cape would just look out of place on him. Granted there's multiple comics where Hulk does wear spandex such as in Exiles, as Smart Hulk or in the case of ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'' and ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman'' armour but Bruce always defaults to the purple pants sooner or later. Hulk's general lack of superhero getup, is indicative of the fact he isn't a traditional heroic superhero and wasn't meant to be.

* John Constantine of ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' although technically a superhero within the DC universe, gets away with his BadassLongcoat and suit combo and isn't expected to wear anything else. Constantine occasionally even takes the Mickey out of his costumed allies for looking like a Mardi Gras concert.

He still smokes like chimney and behaves unlike TheCape though.

* ''Literature/WarsOfTheRealm'': Protagonist Drew Carter is a superhero, for all intents and purposes - he has powers and he uses them to defend the innocent in the slums of Chicago. But he hates when people call him a superhero (especially when they nickname him "The Guardian"), and he tries to act like a fairly average civilian when he's not beating up gangbangers. All of this is of course because he needs to keep a low profile so the "dark invaders" don't single him out.
