Capes don’t work for every superhero, but it’s telling that they keep trying to expel the recognized symbol of Western superheroes out of modern superhero costume designs.

The Flash wearing a cape would be a mistake. Iron fist might be able to pull it off but I don’t think it fits his fighting style. Superman wears a cape because it makes him look more powerful. Superhero costume designs now look like they’re fighting crime on Casual Friday.
