* ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' wears a red "cape" with black dots on it, which is always a cape-like cloth that isn't an actual cape, usually a curtain. Parodied at least twice:
** In the sixth book, the Captain refuses to do his job until he finds such a curtain. George points out that they are hiding behind such a curtain.
** In the ninth book, the Captain again can't find a red cape-like cloth, so he buys an actual cape from a store.

* ''Literature/SuperPowereds'': as a rule, averted for close combat Heroes, at least experienced ones, since they know that a cape is a liability in a fight. Only ranged or support Heroes tend to stick with them. Also averted for Subtlety Heroes (Heroes tasked with intelligence-gathering), since their role involves not being noticed, and capes tend to attract attention. Even their costumes tend to be nondescript. At graduation, though, all newly-minted Heroes are issued ceremonial white capes to symbolize their new status.

* ''Literature/JusticeSquad'': While these show up on a number of characters, Capeman (being a Franchise/{{Superman}} {{Expy}}) uses it as his defining feature.
* Capes are worn by several members of the ''Literature/LeagueOfIntergalacticCosmicChampions''.
* Comes and goes in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''.
** Shroud of Team Kimba wears a cape, because she is animating all the parts of her uniform with her powers and can use it as a weapon. Gloriana has found another advantage: provides warmth when wearing a skimpy costume that is nothing more than a maillot.
** Delta Spike wears a cape to hide the power harness she wears on her back to jack up her superstrength and blaster powers.
* Very much averted in ''Literature/{{Worm}}'':
--> ''It was hard to make capes look good. They had a way of clinging to the body, or flowing the wrong way, getting caught around an arm… it took a measure of majesty to make it work...Ironic, that the slang for a [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual parahuman]] was ‘cape’, and so few of us wore them.''
