I watched the first three or four episodes, dvr'd the rest.
The cape is partially made of spiderwebbing that makes it stronger than steel, yet very flexible.
The crime circus ringmaster gives it to the hero after saying something about it being passed from person to person, good or bad and it reacts to their nature, and maybe even imagination.
A lot of his seeming powers are taught to him by the crime circus folks. I don't think he has any real superpowers, other than the mysterious cape.
Personally, I enjoy the show so far, but I don't see it lasting too much longer. Not with NBC's recent track record of cancelling low rated, but good shows. Fox does, too.
