Devils Cape | comment |
Devil's Cape is a novel by Rob Rogers set in a world of superheroes and supervillains. Although early in the story the narrative alternates between significant past and present events, the main storyline is set in the modern-day town of Devil's Cape, Louisiana, a former pirate town that attracts tourism mainly through its famous crimes, and the fact that it was home to the first named supervillain, notorious pirate St. Diable, and his nemesis Lady Danger.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A group of carnies are exposed to the moment of death of a famous superhero, and as a result gain superpowers based on their own abilities. Taking the name of the "Cirque d'Obscurite," they make a name for themselves as a deadly group of supervillains, killing the superhero Doctor Camelot. When the rest of his team, the Storm Raiders, track the Cirque d'Obscurite to Devil's Cape to bring them to justice, they are all killed with brutal efficiency. They settle in as enforcers to the Robber Baron, Devil's Cape's resident well-known mob boss.Around the same time as the Cirque d'Obscurite are rising, Cain Ducett, a young juvenile delinquent, has a run-in with Jazz Rydland, a girl his age with a deep interest in voodoo. When he knocks her down and almost kills her, she curses him, and he soon finds himself morphing into a demonic monster, sending him into a panic that drives him to take hostages, until he realizes the change is gone, seemingly imagined, and reforms his life. He leads a normal, respected life as a psychiatrist, dismissing the incident as hallucination, until twenty-two years later, he suddenly begins to change again and seeks out Jazz to discover that not only was her curse genuine, she made him relapse to force him to protect her - from the Robber Baron himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Katie Brauer discovers a secret of her father's several years after his death. He was the late Doctor Camelot, and she makes the decision to become the new Doctor Camelot and bring the Cirque d'Obscurite to justice - especially the Behemoth, who killed her predecessor.Jason Kale, news reporter, refuses to use his powerful abilities for years, but his twin brother Julian is not as inclined towards restraint. Julian works with their uncle, who works for the Robber Baron himself. After the Storm Raiders are killed, Jason decides to take up the name Argonaut and take on the supervillains and more mundane criminals overrunning Devil's Cape.Jason, Katie, and Cain all soon meet one another in pursuit of their goals. Upon realizing that they share those goals, they set their sights on the Cirque d'Obscurite. Unfortunately for the heroes, their enemies have been criminals and supervillains for much longer than they have been superheroes, and with greater experience, greater numbers, and the murders of an experienced, practiced team of heroes already under their belts, the Cirque d'Obscurite may be too much for three untested heroes to bring down.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Rogers also wrote a prequel novella involving Sherlock Holmes visiting Devil's Cape in the late 1800s, "Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Pirates of Devil's Cape". | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
Devils Cape / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: It's not until Behemoth finds Hector Hell's corpse that he is really enraged by the attacking superheroes, and he comes rampaging out of the mansion holding the body and hunting for the culprit. Hector was killed by Scion. His uncle Costas put his father in danger by bringing Zhdanov to his restaurant, so Julian helps the heroes who recaptured her bring down the Cirque d'Obscurite, though only Jason sees him do it. Costas is a criminal through and through, with ties to police corruption, murder and many other crimes, but he dearly loves his family. He wouldn't allow any of his subordinates to do business at his brother's restaurant, and is shown to greatly regret endangering him when dealing with Zhdanov. He also loves his nephews. When the Robber Baron asks Costas if he would kill his wife if it meant living forever, he thinks about it and ultimately concludes that he would not. Played with for St. Diable. He did love Lady Danger just not as much as himself, as he killed her as part of an unspecified ritual allowing him to live forever by killing the woman he loves. | |

Let's You and Him Fight: More justified than most examples. Bedlam meets Scion while trying to track down Zhdanov, and Scion throws him off a building. When Bedlam makes it back up, he spots Argonaut, immediately identifies him as Scion, and attacks him. Jason and Julian are identical twins, and even use the same aftershave. | |

Boxing Lessons for Superman: Of a sort. Katie initially intends to rely entirely on her Powered Armor, but Sam convinces her to work out, starting with long runs with 70 odd pounds of weight (the same that the armor weighs) strapped to her back. Comes in handy in the climax when her armor's systems get fried by Hector Hell and she has to stumble into the swimming pool on her own strength. | |

CorruptCop | |
Devils Cape / int_cd70c3dc | comment |
Corrupt Cop: Dustin Bilbray, who is both overtly racist, only even attempting to stop a young Cain from doing whatever he wants when he threatens the white Jazz, and who outright demands a bribe to let Jason into the scene of the Storm Raiders' murder. Also Warren Sims, though Sims is much more sympathetic due to his reasons. | |

The Cape | |
Devils Cape / int_e2415f | comment |
The Cape: Every one of the Storm Raiders, but Doctor Camelot is the one we hear most about. Argonaut also has a dash of this. | |

The Cowl | |
Devils Cape / int_e276cd | comment |
The Cowl: Hangman seems to have been this, but from the sound of it, he went beyond "dark" into "Sociopathic Hero" (and even that might be over-generous; he's implied to have been involved with the KKK). Nobody feels bad when the Robber Baron arranges his death. Of course, if Costas is right, then Robber Baron was the Hangman all along. | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
Devils Cape / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: The Robber Baron wants to do this when Warren Sims comes to Devil's Cape and becomes D.A. Unfortunately, Sims has no one close enough to him for it to work, so the Robber Baron pulls some strings to get Sims to meet his college sweetheart. Once Sims marries her and they are expecting a child, he gets a visit from the Baron. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
Devils Cape / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Katie's "Uncle" Samuel, alias Sam Small, abruptly drops his Mission Control role when she insists on taking down the Cirque d'Obscurite at the first opportunity. After being blasted and having her armor set on fire and rendered useless, Werewolf arrives to finish her off. He's intercepted in midair by Sam Small moments before he reaches her. | |

Cain and Abel | |
Devils Cape / int_eba6a077 | comment |
Cain and Abel: Julian and Jason Kalodimes. Jason seems like the black sheep at first, but when Julian reveals himself as a total sociopath he's firmly cemented as the Cain of the relationship. | |

You Killed My Father: Katie's motivation, although she never tells anyone but Samuel for the sake of her and her father's secret identities. | |
