Who has more capes? DC or Marvel? I would bet on DC but it would be interesting to have a tally to confirmed which company is the ultimate Curator of the Cape! DC definitely has more memorable cap wearers. Superman without a cape is not the same. Ditto for Bats. But by the same token, Spidey or Hulk with a cape is just silly. It depends on the character. If I were designing a character of my own, I would likely stay away from the cape so maybe that means I am more anti cape. Then again, Batman is my second favourite superhero ever and he wears one. Can anyone find a character who has donned a costume both with and without a cape and rocked it?
Yes   |

The Golden Age Sandman started out in a suit with a gas mask, hat and cape. The "superhero-ized" version associated with Simon & Kirby had no cape. Ah, but superhero-ized Sandman *did* have a cape, as did Sandy, in the three pre-Simon & Kirby episodes in Adventure #69-71. Cei-U! I summon the sartorial savoir-faire!  |

junkmonkey ... I have never, ever seen Big Barda without a Cape and she looks really good in that picture that you shared here.

If a superhero can fly a cape makes sense. It makes them more aerodynamic by removing the curves from the body and replacing it with a relatively straight line as it floats above and behind the character. Ground based characters have no real need for the cape other than just looks.

I like your thinking using word like aerodynamic and your phase "relatively straight line ... above and behind the character" ...
