Capes for Everyone!

Capes Return to Paragon City!

While I doubt I will see Enkidu wearing a cape -- he would look as inappropriate in a cape as, well, a neo-samurai warrior in a cape -- there are some people who cannot imagine a superhero without a cape. I am certain the Flaming Q will get one -- a long chartreuse taffeta Versace number, probably.

Enkidu is undergoing a fashion crisis of sorts, in any case. He recently opted to remove his helmet, adopting a more casual David Carradine-in-blue-body-armor look. The Pauli Effect complains that the lack of a helmet makes Enkidu look less threatening, to which Enkidu replies simply by drawing the Metaplasmic Katana and assuming the Unyielding Stance: Is that threatening enough for you?

Still, Enkidu has also toyed with some new body armor (red and gold leaf), but is less happy with the results. The tailors keep assuring him the colors will grow on him. True enough, the ecto-chitin breastplate does grow on him, but it is also very itchy. However, the colors (red and gold) don't look as good on the newscasts as his traditional and very recognizable blue and white. He has his fans to consider, after all. No need to squander his influence on a fit a poor fashion sense.
