Black Panther's cape was awesome and unique, nice call. It was up for consideration, but what hurt it was that Black Panther went years without wearing it again...an were talking more than 20 years during the 70's and 80's. So it didn't have the value that some of the other capes had on the list. Plus Black Panther is traditionally not known for wearing it, only in certain situations.


Nice call BOW.

Captain Marvel's cape looks like it was fashioned out curtains and the curtain tassels. 

Thor's cape always looked like it was wearing Bump-Its on the shoulders.  Come to think of it, his entire costume was gay'd up beyond belief and utterly stupid.  Village People reject obviously.

Batman's cape sometimes was sprawling all over the floor around his feet.  While it really made him look brooding and mysterious while standing still, it couldn't have been easy to fight or run in it without tripping.

Capes are not really something I paid attention to.  However, one thing that all super hero fashion stylists need to get right is their footwear. Man, some of those boots are awful.  Like the generic boot type that Hyperion is wearing in that article.  Cap't America, Hawkeye, and at least dozens of others are wearing those kind with the fold down balloon necks.  Thor's is atrocious as well, but then again as stated above so is the rest of his costume.

I know he's a cheap Batman knockoff, but I always dug Moon Knight's look - and his costume is half cape.

I enjoyed the write up about Captain Marvel. I love the character but his cape was really the epitome of what some kid would imagine a superhero cape to be. It fit perfectly but always looked just sad to me (and a freaking strangling hazard) - but I enjoyed the way you put it's significance into context.

Spawn should easily be number one, followed by Magneto and then Batman.

I am ashamed to admit...I watched this....and every episode I was like "could this get any stupider"??   You know what....it could.  They dropped "Heroes" for that lame POS....combined it with the POS "The Event"...

Thanks NBC for taking time from me I will never get back
