- "Honey? Where's my supersuit?"
- —Lucius Best asking his wife, Honey, where his supersuit is
A supersuit is an outfit worn by a Super while they are on superhero duty.
Description[]
Supersuits are designed to allow a superhero to keep his or her identity secret. They are generally made out of sturdy material that sometimes had unusual aspects to coincide with the wearer's powers (for example, Helen Parr's suit was designed to stretch as far as she could and Violet Parr's suit was designed to allow complete invisibility). Most supersuits consist of a mask covering the wearer's eyes, a body-suit, and occasional other features such as gloves, boots, a cape, etc. Capes were considered "classic", but Edna Mode refused to design super-suits with capes in the future after a number of superheroes died after their capes got caught onto various objects, with the victims being Dynaguy, Meta Man, Splashdown, Stratogale and Thunderhead.
Some, but not all, supersuits had initials on them.
Each Super generally had an iconic supersuit, although they did occasionally change.
List of Supersuits by owner[]
- Mr. Incredible: Initially, he wore a tight, two-piece suit that was black and sky blue and with a large lowercase "i" with a red dot in the middle with blue gloves and boots, and a black mask. This suit tore, and Edna Mode designed a new suit: a tight one-piece red suit with an orange "belt", black boots, gloves, and mask, a black crutch, and an insignia of a yellow lowercase "i" in a black circle with a yellow edge. This suit, and his family's, are fireproof, bulletproof, and rip-proof; and came with a tracking device.
- Elastigirl: Initially, she wore a white one-piece suit with short sleeves and no legs and a black lowercase "e" insignia, with knee-high red boots, gloves and mask. She later gained a suit that had the same design as her husband and she temporarily was given an outfit like her original one but silver, with longer sleeves, black boots, gloves, and mask instead of red, a red "e" instead of a black one, and the addition of dark grey leggings and a red "belt". She eventually gave up this suit. Her suits can stretch as far as she can.
- Dash Parr and Violet Parr: Their suits have the same design as their parents'. Dash's can withstand great friction and Violet's can turn invisible as she does.
- Jack-Jack Parr: His suit is also a red one-piece but it is baggier, lacks the belt, crutch, gloves, insignia, and boots, and has feet in it. He had two suits made for him that shared the same design but the second one came with a tracking device (which incidentally his family's suits also have) and edible flame retardant.
- Frozone: Wears a tight, white and sky blue one-piece suit with white boots and a visor-like thing. Lucius's super suit is designed to keep him warm in the cold, but he must wear a special set of refraction goggles not only to protect his identity, but also to protect his eyes from the glare of the sunlight that bounces off his ice crystals.
- Syndrome: Wore a tight, black, one-piece suit with white rocket boots and a dark blue cape. He also wore white gloves and had a white "S" on his suit. As Incrediboy, his suit was baggier and with short sleeves and legs, and it was white and sky blue and had an "i" insignia similar to Mr. Incredible's. His rocket boots were also more primitive.
- Gazerbeam: Wore a navy blue bodysuit with a visor like Frozone's that had "GB" on it.
- Voyd: Teal boots, gloves, and mask, tight, sky blue legless one-piece suit with lime green sleeves and a "V" on the front.
- He-Lectrix: Navy blue one-piece suit with a blue lightning strike coming down it. Black gloves, boots, and mask.
- Brick: Mini-dress with a pattern of bricks on it, brown boots, red mask, black belt with a red "B"-shaped buckle.
- Screech: Black one-piece suit with a red crutch, yellow "belt" and a yellow badge with a bird drawn on it, black boots with claw-like structures on the bottom, brown feathery "wings" attached to his suit that allow him to fly, and a brown, feathery hood that covers the back of his head. He also wears grey face paint.
- Krushauer: Navy blue bodysuit, gloves, and boots, with a white "K" on the suit.
- Reflux: Orange suit with a flaming letter "R" on the front, grey cape, pink crutch, boots, gloves, and mask.

- Meta Man: Red one-piece suit with maroon boots, gloves, and cape.
- Dynaguy: White one-piece suit with red sleeves and legs, white gloves, white mask that covered his whole face, red cape. The ion propulsion gauntlents which were worn on his forearms allows him to fly.
