or so slocki would have you believe. Aside from Spider-Man, who else disproves slocki's math?

Are there any major marvel characters with capes? I mean Moon Knight, bfd.

Oh yeah, Thor, right.

And Dr. Strange. But still - they're a lot less capey than DC.

Marvel's cape wearers are mostly villains, cf. Dr. Doom.

needed in superhero costumes: more mortarboards to go with the cloaks!

How many capes are there in the X-Men? I know Storm has one sometimes.

i'm actually thinking maybe this is more of a dc thing?

Living DC dudes with skintight bodysuits and no cape = superhero failure

and no ring

DUDE! The Flash! One of the best costumes ever!

(Barry Allen/Wally West Flash, that is, none of this Jay Garrick business...)

and no wings on head

Is that Galadriel talking to Hal Jordan there?

Most superheroines with skinhugging costumes don't have capes, right? Those who do:

Huntress
Supergirl
Powergirl
Batgirl

AND THAT'S IT.

No capes in the Authority (although the Midnighter has a long coat = pseudo-cape)

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Friday, 21 April 2006 10:27 (nineteen years ago)

Long coats are the late 80s/early 90s version of capes, yes.

To answer a question from above - the only people in the X-Men who have worn capes are Magneto, Storm, Polaris, and Emma Frost. The latter three only occasionally wear a cape - their costumes have changed a lot over the years.
