According to fiction, armor is completely useless. Not only can it not stop even the simplest of cutting/stabbing tools (Something it's actually very, very good at), but it actively weakens you by making you "too slow and clumsy" while someone wearing nothing more than a thong is "quick and nimble". By which they can dodge bullets (despite ONLY being a baseline human) and literally do flips over your "Slow" head (Despite the fact that the time it would take someone to go from standing, to leaping over your head, to landing behind you, would easily give you enough time to reach up and snatch them out of the air).I can't get past the costume. I mean, not that its revealing or skin tight or anything, but... ffs, wear some armor! Not even necessarily heavy and bullet resistant kevlar or W/E; stuff like impact/skid resistant biker suits or that gel-padded stunt armor would go a long way for the typical acrobatic hero. And they can always get it elaborately colored and decorated like any other suit.
Wearing skin-tight spandex is the same as hanging a big sign around your neck that reads "I'M SOFT AND SQUISHY, PLEASE BE GENTLE". And Source help you if you're wearing latex. At least you can move in spandex.
