Even before the whole Edna “No Capes!” thing from the Incredibles, Marvel made a pretty good joke about it and how capes can get in the way. When Steve Rogers first stop being Captain America and tried going around as Nomad, he made his own costume with a cape because he specifically was ticked that the military wouldn’t let him have a superhero cape as Cap. First time out with the new costume he got curb-stomped and more by who he was fighting because of said cape. Never wore one again.
Edna Mode: “No capes!”
Not even if it sparkles?
