* This is one of the many, many costume options in ''[[City of Heroes]]''. For quite a long time, you normally havehad to reach level 20 and [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|do a specific mission]] to get one. (In the initial release of the game and its first few updates, there were no capes available at all due to technical issues with properly animating them. When the animation issue was solved, the [[In-Universe]] "ban" on wearing a cape before level 20 and the story arc needed to get one were implemented as a [[Retcon]] to explain why they weren't available until them.) Since the game's resurrection in 2019, though, capes are available at character creation (although, bizarrely, the mission is still there and still claims to confer the right to a cape).
** Notable cape wearers among NPCs are Statesman, whose former cape was refashioned into the flag atop Paragon City City Hall; his [[Evil Counterpart]] Reichsman; Hero 1, whose disappearance at the end of the Rikti War is the reason new heroes can't wear capes, and Rikti warrior [[Significant Anagram|Honoree]], who wears a suspiciously familiar cape.
** NowadaysTowards the end of the game's original run you cancould unlock certain capes that cancould be worn before level 20, including a [[Doctor Strange]] style 'magic' mantle with a huge collar and even bigger cape. Looks [[Rule of Cool|extremely awesome]] when done right.
** With the resurrection of the game in 2019, capes became available right from character creation. Amusingly, the level-20 "cape quest" still remains in the game and can be still be taken, although it grants nothing you don't already have.
