Super Heros Who Wear Capes

Recommended Posts

A fashion statement? Who the hell wears a cape these days without attracting attention.

 

A cape is handy for anyone who needs to cover a major boner or camel toe. Personally, I think a cape is a hold-over from Victorian values. Back in the early day - a cape represents a flourish of class & mistery without much of a costume change

For both super guys and super chicks!

 

Super Man

Super Girl (why not Super Woman?)

BatMan

Wonder Woman

Martian Manhunter

Rocket Robin Hood

 

Who did I miss?

According to the movie Incredibles, Edna (the incredibles fashion designer) says "NO CAPES" !!

And that the following superhero's have had a disastrous ends by cape snags such as...

 

Thunderhead-his cape snagged on a missile fin

Stratogale- Cape caught in a jet turbine

Metaman- express elevator

Dynaguy- snagged on take off

Splashdown- sucked into a vortex

I strongly advise against capes!!

I think I see one worn by the Black Knight, but seeing as he got his ass, and a lot more kicked in the fight, he isn't much of a super hero

And let's not forget about the cape substitutes

 

Often in movies....if the director or whoever wants the heroic figure to give off a subtle "Cape" impression without actually wearing a cape other articles of clothing will be used as a substitute. Usually trench coats

 

A couple of my favorite examples

 

Tombstone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGp7A3j6FQ

The Crow -

 

And a little less subtle, the rain coat belonging to David Dunn (Bruce Willis) in Unbreakable also doubles as a superhero costume/cape of sorts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AdI5Lv23M&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDM9Et99lUA (this is actually one of my all time favorite movies.....the tension just draws you in so perfectly....and every performance in this movie is spot on....the music is excellent....it's just one of those movies where everything works)

 

And let's not forget the Man With No Name's poncho, which also pulls double duty as a cape of sorts

Noooo, nononononono. The cape is the acid test of superheroism. If you can't handle your cape properly (or sort it out when you fail to), you're obviously not a proper superhero :)
