Does Your Hero Wear a Cape?

I have noticed that I don't see many heroes sporting capes in this game. I, myself, have created a few costumes with capes but have yet to use them as heroes. Some are posted at the - Champions Costume Exchange but not all.
If you have a Caped Wonder, please post him/her below. I'll post the few I made below, shortly.
btw - If you guys want to post videos if caped heroes in action, I won't object.

For example, it just doesn't make sense on some heroes, like RoboKong:
Same with Meltdown (pestilence build). Cape doesn't fit the concept:
Quorok, on the other hand, didn't look right without a cape:
Same with this clone of Marvin the Martian -- he looked nekkid without a cape:

Oh, Edna, all those years in the business and you never heard of a snap release? For shame.
Lessee...capes. Some. Depends on what kind of archetypes I'm homaging/mixing. Looks like only two out of the ten I have so far, maybe two and a half.
Adam Arcane
The Morrigan
And this one's the "half". It's sort of a cape, but mostly wings.
Gyrfalcon
Yeah, even I've removed some for that reason, but my PC is $)@%. I often wonder if that is the reason that I see so few capes on a day-to-day basis. I sometimes go weeks before a caped hero passes in front of my hero in the RenCen or wherever. That and every update or new Arch pushed a costume of the month. When I first joined I saw more demons, robots and monsters than human looking heroes. Now ships are every where.
Either way, I know that capes are rare, whatever the reason, so I made this thread to see a few.
DinahMightcoh is making A Character a Day and since Jan 1 to yesterday, she created 5 with a cape and one got switched for a no cape version, so it's four now.
Edna's cape prejudice was purposeful and used to foreshadow Syndrome's eventual demise. It's a classic tool in a story tellers tool kit.
But thanks for reminging me how much fun that movie is. It made me want to get out my copy of The Incredibles. :biggrin:

Cloaks are better!

We can still see you, sockmunkey. Hiding behind the drapes isn't fooling anyone. :rolleyes:
Hahaha yeah as soon as I read this thread I was like "where's the munkey?" great example of a main character using a "cloak" =p

On the other hand i've never really made a generic sorta hero toon...
Power Armor has got me hooked. T_T *SadGuiltyFace* <_<

Bah, not true.
If they were the same id not be lusting after a proper "shadowy cloak" costume pack.
Clipping be darned, I want something that covers the shoulders and drapes in the front a bit. It could of fit in so well with the whole Nighthawk costume stuff.
(More evil laughter, smoke bomb tossing, retreating to shadows, before tripping on aforementioned "shadowy cloak")

These are great, but I gotta say I love Terah Li Al Shia. The blue skin against the white and gold. Color blocking is over rated, but that toon is gorgeous. I tried something similar with a heroine called Sea Elf. Sea Elf is nice but it's the same blue skin against bubble pink hair and costume. The hints of yellow are supposed to be gold, but my pc shows it - well, as yellow. :rolleyes:
Great idea for a thread zed. I'll start by posting images of Goldwing who uses a cape with most of his looks(I'll post my other cape-wearers when I get the time).
The reason he uses a cape is to give the impression of wings.
First off, here is his Golden-Age outfit.
And this is his modern look.
Now his pulp look.
And finally, Kid Goldwing.
Hope you like them.

Thaaaaanks!!! I am pretty much happy as well how the colors turned out on that one as well. Its fun because weeks after I created her, someone pointed out that she has the Mystique color scheme, which is sort of true but I swear that she wasn't the inspiration for that one.
I swear...I was so sleepy after reading this that I read "Adam West Goldwing costume" lol... that was an amusing thought in my head.
By the way I must say that I ABSOLUTELY adore Goldwing, in every single of his costumes they are simply terrific!! specially the one where you used the nighthawk costume and made it metallic. All color schemes are great!.

I also put a cowboy hat on a chimp because that makes sense.
But generally, no capes.
Wait? Whaaaa..?
I don't know if it's ever been done. Who organizes those?
Way ahead of you man
Cowboy Goldwing.
And Native American Goldwing.
And thanks for the compliments, jon and cascadence.

A mysterious fate for that Pre-Detroit Destroid.
The reason she wears a cape is that it adds a certain sense of majesty.

Lion-themed Britannia.

Ger-Man
Silver Age costume
Renaisance Age* costume
Steel Age** costume
Ger-Man is your basic national superhero. But since Germany in the Champions Universe doesn't support superheroics much, he is defending and representing his country from outside its boarders.
I originally invisioned him weilding a spear (the Ger is a type of spear from ancient times, which the Germans were named after). But since we don't have a Polearms powerset, he's using a Heavy Weapons build.
More chars later.
* The Renaisance Age is what I call the first half of the Modern Age, when superhero comics went back to the roots after the Iron/Dark Age.
** The Steel Age is the second half of the Modern Age to me, because it's pretty much the Iron Age all over again, only more refined and polished. Also, armor plates are the new pouches.
Not only only a cape, but a patriotic cape. One of these days I will create a thread that says, Post Your Patriotic Heroes Here.
Hmm... Never mind, it's here now. :biggrin:
I am not that familiar with Mystique except from the movies, so I had to search Mystique under Google Images and found a few of her in a white costume among the many of Rebecca Romijn who basically played her naked except for some vinyl paint. She also wears a black two piece thing in some other pics. Some Heroes and villians go through so many costume iterations it's really hard to keep track of them all. Is the white one her original costume or are there too many to say? I'm seriously asking becasue I do not know.
I can almost see the point of the white Mystique costume, but yours is much more complex and lacks a belt made out of skulls. Plus, Terah's eyes are an illuminate blue, not the yellow, serpent eyed of the version of Mystique.
Begin a side rant - Someone once accuse The Webspeller of being a Spider-Girl clone. I have not picked up a comic book since '93 and the costume was created by blending a '60s Barbara Gorden/Batgirl (my wifes fav because they share the same profession, librarian), and a What If Mary Jane became Spider-Woman, to be plugged into a Grimoire Arch and bio. I honestly had no idea there even WAS a Spider-Girl series. :eek: I knew of both Spider-Women and neither had worn a red-blue costume. So I did then, what I just did on Mystique -- a Google Image search.
@#$ and hips. Same classic costume spandex fitted for May's female form, as it were. There are many added and missing differences, and no version of Marvel's Spider-Anything wears a cape. Pardon my rant, it's over.
Anyway, to reiterate, I like your costume over the Mystique version even if there are similarities.
btw - I meant to reply to this sooner but forgot. :rolleyes:
Here is Solar Knight!! The Filipino superhero!!

Used the Shadow D cape as some kind of sun rays looking cape.

I seem to recall Southwest Witchcraft as being entirely transparent and yellow before On Alert. Or was it before Free For All? { shrug } Anyway, I know that tech is out there, but there might be other reasons why we don't see such parts in game.
I fully support the addition of as many "hologram glow" type pieces as possible. the PSI shoulders and bracers and such are nowhere near enough.
