The Cape (trope): Difference between revisions

** For reference, the guy he killed was a supervillain and a [[Complete Monster]], who had killed dozens of people and was responsible for multiple atrocities, and the killing itself was a complete accident. No-one would blame him or deny it was justified, but Utopian still views it as [[My Greatest Failure]],and, for a while, his [[Moral Event Horizon]].

** Plus he wears a [[Light Is Good|white and gold costume]], and defeats a [[Face Heel Turn]]-ed friend of his by forgiving him and flying away, since he believed the guy would do the right thing, he is not only one hundred percent sincere, he's also completely right!

* From the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'', there's Ultra-Man, The Golden Marvel, Centennial, Empyrion, Thunder, Champion, Dharma, Kismet, Shaktimaan, Scanner, Protonik, Paladin, and El Grifo Rojo, just to name a few. Somewhat subverted by The Aryan (a white supremacist NPC ''crimefighter'' who most of the players hated to deal with).

* The titular villainess of ''[[Interviewing Leather]]'' has nothing but respect for the "old school" superheroes.

* [[Less Than Three Comics|The <3-Verse]] has Mr Perfect of the Brat Pack as a Cape-in-Training, as well as Thunderbolt and Uncle Sam as full-fledged Capes.

* In the [[Whateley Universe]], there are plenty. The Headmistress of Whateley Academy is a retired Superhero and very much fits the The Cape (trope) trope, even if her current superheroine garb is a body suit without cape. Since she's been fighting villains since 1943, she has a 1940's sensibility about superheroing... along with over sixty years of experience. She still looks [[Older Than They Look|early- to mid-thirties]].

** And don't forget the 'Future Superheroes of America', better known around the school as... The Cape Squad.
