Alright so a little background, my boyfriend and I were watching The Incredibles and the scene with Edna explaining why she is so anti-cape got us thinking about the purpose/practicality of capes.

So here's the question: Do most superheroes with flying capabilities (a.k.a. Flyers) have useless capes? As in do their capes actually serve a purpose (like Doctor Strange and his Cape of Levitation) or are they just for show (like Storm who has the natural born ability of flight but still wears a cape)?
