Wearing the Cape: Difference between revisions

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: ''Wearing the Cape'' begins with a terrorist attack that leaves bodies all over, the Sentinels are shown to have lost several members before the story begins, the murder of a street-level hero is casually alluded to, and finally, {{spoiler|in the attack on Whittier Base no less than three Sentinels die--including two main characters}}.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Hope, who at the age of 18 stands less than 5 feet tall and is self-described as an "underdeveloped teenage Tinkerbell", is one of the [[Flying Brick|strongest superheroes on the planet]]. Also, though she spends a good deal of time worrying about accidentally hurting anyone, she opens an alarming can of Whupass at the end of the story.

* [[Boxing Lessons for Superman]]: Hope gains the [[Flying Brick|Atlas-type]] power set, enabling her to outfly jets, bench-press buses, and take direct hits from military ordinance. So the first thing she does is go into intensive, fight-club style training so she has a chance against all the ''other'' Atlas-types out there.

* [[The Cape (trope)]] (gently subverted): In the Post-Event world the more powerful and photogenic superheroes are major media celebrities, who often publicly play to the Golden Age Hero stereotype and have whole marketing campaigns and PR departments to back them up.
