I've noticed in Marvel comics now the government refer to super beings as "capes". I found this odd since very few Marvel characters actually wear capes compared to the DC characters. I've listed all of those in the Marvel Universe that sport capes that I can recall, can anyone think of any others?

Thor

Doctor Strange

Vision

Scarlet Witch

Son of Satan

Nighthawk

Storm

Snowbird

Taskmaster

Sentry

Doctor Doom

Magneto

Count Neferious

Yep, and Moon Knight reminded me of the Shroud.

Pretty clumsy of M*****, coming up with a term that better describes the
competition's product than their own.

••

Current ^^••••• writers and editors paying attention to the universe in
which the characters operate, rather than simply trying to be "clever"? How
likely is that?

Bet the sad boys love it, tho.
