That was one thing interesting about The Incredibles; as when Mr. Incredible's old suit is damaged, he goes to a famous fashion designer (who also laments the old days when she "used to design costumes for the Gods"), who works on it, as well as creating him a whole new suit; there also seems to be several different designers who would create costumes for supers, as Linda is adamant about having no capes. The exchange went like this:

Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!

Bob: Yeah!

Edna: Heroic!

Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...

Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!

Bob: Isn't that my decision?

Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.

Bob: Listen, E...

Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!

Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...

Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!

Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...

Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!

Edna: No capes!

Little things like that the give a verisimilitude about the world are the things that really make you appreciate the writers, artists, etc who take those things into account.
