A strong variant of continuity called ‘F-supercontinuity’ is introduced. The class of F-supercontinuous functions strictly contains the class of z-supercontinuous functions (Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 33 (7) (2002), 1097–1108) which in turn properly contains the class of cl-supercontinuous functions ( clopen maps) (Appl. Gen. Topology 8 (2) (2007), 293–300; Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 14 (6) (1983), 762–772). Further, the class of F-supercontinuous functions is properly contained in the class of R-supercontinuous functions which in turn is strictly contained in the class of continuous functions. Basic properties of F-supercontinuous functions are studied and their place in the hierarchy of strong variants of continuity, which already exist in the mathematical literature, is elaborated. If either domain or range is a functionally regular space (Indagationes Math. 15 (1951), 359–368; 38 (1976), 281–288), then the notions of continuity, F-supercontinuity and R-supercontinuity coincide.
