What is cape?

A cape is a type of clothing worn over the shoulders and fastened at the neck. It can come in various shapes, styles, and materials, including wool, cashmere, silk, or fur.

Capes have been worn for centuries and in many different cultures, often for both practical and ceremonial reasons. They can be worn to keep the wearer warm or dry, as well as to convey a sense of status or elegance.

In modern times, capes are less commonly worn as everyday clothing, but they can still be seen in certain contexts, such as theatrical productions or Halloween costumes. The superhero genre has also popularized capes as a distinctive feature of heroic characters.

Some famous caped characters include Superman, Batman, Dracula, and the Phantom of the Opera.
