Why does Superman even need a cape for?

[Mikey]

he uses it to wipe his *** if there's no paper

[Brazoo]

He's no dope, he needs to wear it to maintain his brand.

Plus when he's flying super fast,you know it's him. If he didn't have the cape,he'd just be a blue blur. This way,he's now a red and blue blur.

^True dat. And it just looks damn good on him.

It's where he hides his Clark Kents clothes

[Hector]

I know it's his baby blanket and all, lol.

But I was watching the Man of Steel trailer on TV this morning, my sister was passing by, and said...

Why does an omnipotent being has the need to wear a cape?

Is it pure ego? Pretentiousness? Definitely not needed for flight, in fact, that would drag him down, he'd be faster without a cape, plus all that cape flapping in flight must drive Superman nuts, especially with his super hearing and all, lol.

She just had me thinking, damn her, lol.
