Spy tux
spy tux
Plural: penguin spies
Everyone knows that you can't have a super secret super agent unless they're wearing a tuxedo. After all, tuxedos are well known for being loose clothing that allows for a range of movement as well as being so innocuous that they'll allow you to fit in no matter where you are.
Well, actually, they don't do either of those things, but they are a classic and can make anyone look good. They're also great for secreting all sorts of gadgets and things to augment your already super super powers. So regardless of whether you're playing baccarat in a swanky casino, or going to a big fight in the Bronx, you'll be ready for anything.
