Capes - Blog Posts
Kaaru may be stubborn, but she has respect for her parents.

Reason 78: CLOAKS.
Specific Invincible comic nitpick of the day-
Big missed opportunity regarding Terra Grayson is her superhero suit. Terra is both Mark and Eves daughter, and while it's represented in her look, I think they fumbled Eve's side by not giving her a cape :(
The Mark aspect is well showcased, maybe a little overdone. She's living up to her fathers superhero legacy, mostly just emulating his outfit with tweaks to the iconic "i" sort of similar to Marky's changes.
She also does something I think is important: Makes it her own in a way that isn't just combining her parents looks. Terra dons big, athletic-style frameless shield sunglasses which are uniquely hers, and really bring to mind her youth.
The Eve side of things was a letdown. The writers went "how do we make it Eve-esque and remind the readers that she's a GIRL? oh yeah, stick her in a leotard!" And it's so disappointing because leotard costumes suck, and Eve's cape is right there! The cape which Terra specifically points out is cute, and says is something she likes and wants! It'd be a callback to her childhood and would be waaayyyy better than giving her the stupidity which is leotard bare-leg costumes. I just think it's a much better way to represent that she's every bit Eve's child, as she is Marks.
RIP version of Terra Grayson that has a cape, if only you existed.
In the show maybe I wouldn't mind, the shorts would be sporty in a way that match her glasses. But that should be in addition to a cape. But a girl can only dream about her hyper specific nitpicks, which are really not that important.
