Some heroes like to wear all that flashy red, but ask any anti-hero type comic book character and they'll tell you that black is the only way to go. It provides all the same crime fighting awesomeness but still lets you be brooding and mysterious.And if a superhero doesn't have a bit of mystique, then he doesn't have much. Superheroes have to keep their identity hidden for their own sake. They don't want to draw to much attention to who they are in real life - they would be bombarded and targeted and wouldn't be able to live much of a life.But a good cape can help keep their identity safe, provide a really cool effect as they fly away from a scene, and can give them a place to hide behind if they happen to lose their mask during battle. This polyester cape is jet black and measures 41 in length and is 44 wide at the bottom for added flare!
