** I initially thought the same, but check out the "Fridge" section for this series; the lack of a mask is not only later rectified, but actually initially due to the fact that the villains had ''forcibly put him'' in a mask previously during the traumatic events that led to him being presumed dead and persona non grata...meaning having to wear a mask is a case of WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes for him. He gets over it, though, and spends more of the series' episodes using a mask than he did wearing just the cape without one.

* In part 2 of ''The Lich'', one of the clues Orwell gets that she's in a dream is that Vince doesn't know her name...but the real life Vince says he's going to "look for Julia" after he drops the cabinet on the Lich. So does he know her name or doesn't he?

** Yes, but this just doesn't make sense. One, why would ARK, being PrivateMilitaryContractors, own a fancy restaurant? Two, the usher guy told disguised!Orwell when she entered the restaurant that they were fully booked, so presumably there would be a lot of staff there to keep things running. Three, several kitchen staff are clearly seen milling about when Cain takes Orwell into the kitchen, but then they just disappear. And four, it was an ARK policeman who whispered something to Fleming, not a kitchen guy. As for explanations, I'd say that the kitchen staff ran out the back door or something, that ARK doesn't own the restaurant, but perhaps the mob or something, which works with ARK, and that they were able to cover it up somehow. I'd pass it off as ill-conceived or rushed writing.

** More importantly, '''"The Cape"''' isn't named after his costume. He is named '''"The Cape"''' because he represents return to the old-school heroes of the Four-Colour Silver-Age comics. He isn't an ambiguous figure, he's a true hero fighting against a murderous super-villain from the position of an underdog. He is named after just that sort of hero that was, in the eighties and nineties, ''mocked'' both for being morally simplistic and for wearing things like capes and cloaks. His Cloak essentially has superpowers so that the writers can legitimately have his cape be not just ''not'' a problem, but actively a solution to many problems.
