Martian Manhunter, Big Barda and Mister Miracle. Spectre if his cloak counts, likewise Phantom Stranger.
Yet, I can also think of not wearing capes to include the Atom, Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Ice, Fire, The Question.
At some point you have to ask which of these characters are well-known by basically everyone like Batman, relatively well-known but not on the level like Batman, rather well-known but only to comic readers, or obscure even to comic readera.
Do you not consider Thanagarian wings to be capes? It's not like Hawkman has his wings splayed all day.
On that note
>Hawk
>Dove
>Azrael
>Wonder Woman has a blue cape
>dr light
>Ragman
Almost all the Golden age DC heros had capes. The silver sge revamps don't because they're more sci-fi then fantasy.
Is power girl derivative?
The Demon
>the good doctors.
That reminds me, I forgot Doctor Druid

Who's that dink who looked like The Prowler but with a rainbow costume?
>Prowler

Yes. I'm so used to using his generic moniker.
>Adam Warlock
>Storm sometimes
>Mysterio, how could you miss him.
>Vision
>Scarlet witch sometimes

Most superheroes don't wear capes in general. Capeshit is a term made by salty weebs who don't realize their favorite media often falls under superhero archetypes
the trickster
pied piper
weather wizard
And so as the thread concludes we take away that Marvel has no capes and that's why it sucks. And DC is better.
