Question: What purpose does his cape serve? ( o _ 0 )
Answers: What purpose does his cape serve? ( o _ 0 )
when he eats white castle it helps diffuse the bad wind
yes
I believe that since he gets his powers from the yellow sun the cape isn't necessary, just cool. All superheroes should have them at some point.
Yes he can, the cape is probably something to make look cool while he is flying.
Yes, haven't you seen him as Clark Kent... flying!
yep but he likes the snapping sound it makes when it hits his bottom
Yeah, the cape just looks kool. All he needs so that his powers can work is the yellow sun so, no, he doesn't need the cape, it's just part of his costume.
i think it is just a Superhero fashion statement~!!!
sort of like a Tiara for Miss America~!!!
no superman is stupid. the incredible hulk can beat him up.
yes he can fly without his cape, he just wears his underwear over his tights and his cape to try to look good or maybe its just more breezy and comfortable for all his crimefighting lol
Yes, he can fly without his cape.
I don't really know what the purpose the cape is but I think it would be like a tail on a kite (or dog) and help him to balance.
Mind you, this is only a guess.
Actually, yes, because his powers come from his exposure to the Earth's sun reacting to his body's chemistry. The suit just makes him recognized as a heroic symbol.
he can fly without the cape. the cape looks cool, it completes his costume
have you ever watched smallville? he fly's without a cap. he uses it to look cool thats all.
no dip! hes powered by the sun and nothing more! its just for showin goff and blinding his enemy.
it is just part of his costume!!! serves no real purpose other than its appearance!
Of course, but Siegel & Schuster thought it would look cool. All editors to date & I agree.
IMO, the cape is there to ripple as he flies through the air so as to show the motion of the air through the cape's movement, thus simulate movement in the static medium of print, ie, comics.
The cape itself conveys no abilities, just like the rest of the costume, other than it's Kryptonian origins. Therefore it is invulnerable to bullets & an excellent thermal barrier, but would convey NO metahuman abilities upon it's wearer. In fact, a normal Terran would still be susceptible to being knocked down by the kinetic energy of a bullet, just as though you or I were shot while wearing a kevlar garment. We'd have one heck of a bruise, but would not have been penetrated by the bullet.
I recently read & highly reccommend
"The Last Days of Krypton", by Kevin J. Anderson
It covers almost everything relevant to the Silver Age, while adding a couple of elements from the 1st movie.
