Capes is a role-playing game by Tony Lower-Basch, independently published by Muse of Fire Games. It's a superhero role-playing game played in scenes, where players choose what character to play before each new scene.
Characters are usually co-owned, but controlled by one player at a time. Losers in conflicts can earn story tokens that can be used to influence the game, so it's sometimes beneficial to play a supervillain that gets beaten to get more story tokens. The game also has a gloating rule that emulates situations where the villain can easily kill the heroes, but won't.
The rules are very formal, and the rigorous gameplay has made people question whether it's really a role-playing game or something else.
