    Oh man, did you know that the capes thing was actually in-world propaganda/disinformation in the movies? Syndrome killed all the people listed as having cape accidents, so it was like a go-to coverup that they died in cape related ways, like the people making the cover stories didn’t have the creativity to come up with anything else. And it just ended up making capes seem like a bad idea.

      Wait, does the movie actually show that? Are any of the same heroes cited by Edna as cape accidents also shown in Syndrome’s database as being killed by him instead?
