Superman Cape Towel

A couple years ago I started my Geeky IKEA series, and one of the first items was a desk based on the Fortress of Solitude. In truth, that idea was far less ambitious than I originally envisioned. I wanted a WHOLE bathroom based on the Fortress, one that would feature a sink that looked like the crystal control panel, a shower cabinet which resembled the chamber that turned Superman into a human (Superman II), lots of frosted glass - the whole nine yards. The topper was some towels that were plain blue, and one that looked like Superman’s cape.

I abandoned the idea because I felt it was too ambitious and I didn’t want to deal with a toilet ruining the concept! So I went with the desk.

I then remembered the cool towels. And just like the previous post, I am surprised these don’t exist! It just makes sense that geeks — well, men in general — would love to have the cape hanging there when not in use. As if to announce hey I am Superman, just gotta hang up my cape while I wash-up. Grunt. Snort. And yes, many ladies would like to be Supergirl too.

This only works with Superman/Supergirl, as they were the only heroes to have a logo prominently on the cape. I suppose you could do a black Batman cape with multiple pointed ends, but it is nowhere near as iconic as this.

Like I said these aren’t available at all, but you could easily have these made wherever they personalize towels. The logo would need to sit near the middle, like the above example (a long towel folded over a rack).
