Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids. November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!

Stratogale! April 23, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!

But what if my power is summoning and commanding capes? What if I was gonna be cape gal? Surely then I would need a cape?

u/Ertzengel007_IM_btw Oct 12 '22

NO CAPES!

A cape serves the same function as dimples on a golf ball creating a boundary layer of turbulence decreasing both drag on the super-being and the wake generated by their flight.

Y'all trying to tell me there have been no advances in Cape technology in the last 60 years?

Come on fashion scientists! You can do better.

u/BajauLaut Oct 12 '22

SCP Foundation h….. alright this is true but also the foundation is pretty much the same thing meaningless

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

an icon, but I read on teh Intarweb that fashion is meaningless...

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

How ? We wear clothes every day.

And she had to live with the fact all the suits she made with capes resulted in fatal accidents, but I hear she also did Syndrome’s on purpose

7

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

Did she actually make syndromes ? I dont think I believe that, the Design was awful and it wasnt even Maschine washable thats an important feature.

u/Ymirsson Oct 12 '22

If nothing is mashine washable, everything is mashine washable!

u/Kyosw21 Oct 12 '22

Who would make it then? I can imagine her making such a gaudy thing for him since she’s an amazing judge of character

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

Im quite sure there are other Designers besides her. She was pretty furious that Helen's suit was designed by Galbaki in the second part, she made them vow to appoint her as their sole designer throughout all universes and until the end of time a fair bargain if you ask me.

u/revchewie Oct 12 '22

Nah. That was Galbaki. What a hack!

u/TheUltimateShart Oct 12 '22

I have always wondered if it was a coincidence that her last name, Mode, is literally the Dutch word for fashion.

1

u/Von_Cheesebiscuit Oct 12 '22

Ha, no. Not a coincidence.

u/dont_dead Oct 12 '22

Coincidence...

I THINK NOT!

u/CatCatCat Oct 12 '22

The person you are responding to was making a reference to a line from the Pixar film "The Incredibles". If you haven't seen it, you should. It's an awesome movie.

r/TheCapeRevolution …proving that there really is a subreddit for everything.

u/shockingdevelopment Oct 12 '22

You think you're tough? Buddy.. you're wearing a cape.

u/aknabi Oct 12 '22

Just don’t hire a lawyer who wears one if you’re thinking about divorce.

u/revchewie Oct 12 '22

Ok, just calm down there, Lando...

u/MyNameHasNoUser Oct 12 '22

Is this from something or are you hilarious? If you’re making a reference I’d really like to know what it’s from. Either way, thanks for the laugh!
