7->''"A masked adventurer's costume is one of those things nobody really thinks about. Should it have a cape, or no cape? Should it be thick and armored to protect you from harm, or flexible and lightweight to allow maneuverability? What sort of mask should it have? Do bright colors make you more of a target than dark ones? All of these were things I had to consider."''
8-->-- '''Hollis Mason''', from [[FictionalDocument his autobiography]] ''Under the Hood'', ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''

12Some of these can even involve ClarkKenting, and often lead to an IconicOutfit.
13
14And it doesn't hurt to have a HeroicBuild, or the MostCommonSuperpower, when wearing these.
