So what's the point of the cape?

Huh?

The cape. Doesn't it get in the way? A good gust of wind, and it's blown right over your head. Really, why have it?

Because I'm a superhero! It's expected, and besides, it's cool!

Not it's not. It's a deathtrap waiting to snag on something then strangle you... and you're a grown man in a CAPE!

Are you trying to piss me off, vile fiend?
