Superheroes Wear Capes: Difference between revisions

By and large, if any character wears a cape, and it's not a historical or pseudo-historical setting, it should be taken as read that he is either very powerful/important (and probably a villain), or a vainglorious dolt with an inflated opinion of himself. Bonus points if you've got a huge collar and shoulderpads as well. Some rare ones would even be a [[Pimped -Out Cape]].

* ''[[Code Geass]]'' gives us [[Anti -Hero]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] Lelouch Vi Britannia as [[My Hero Zero|Zero]], who is [[Invoked Trope|invoking]] this trope. After all, Lelouch's goal is to set himself up as a comic book hero of justice, so it would make sense for him to draw on every trope that will make people associate him with fictional heroes.
