The Retcon Punchers spend an awful lot of time looking for ways to celebrate our nerdy obsessions. This means a lot of time sunk into scouring Etsy, Deviant Art, Think Geek or whatever. Sometimes we see things so great we just have to share them… and then clutch them fiercely to our collective chest. Throw it in The Vault.

Who Would Love This: Old-schoolers who can’t get down with the Blackest Night Pint Glass Set/anyone who needs more billowing when drinking.
Price: $9.99 each
Capes are hard. They’re always getting stepped on and caught in doors, and air drying them is such a chore. Nightwing says capes throw off his balance, and they would just slow the Flash down. BUT they look cool. Why, then, should we restrict capes to human shoulders? Now your glassware can get in on the action! Not only do they look great in a breeze, but the capes also complete an ensemble: note the belts and underwear at the bottom of the glasses. Now you’ll be drinking in style — right out of the torso of your favorite heroes.


They should make Robin half-pint glasses.
And Flash shot glasses.
…Cyborg oil can?
A Wonder Woman skyphos!
And Detective Comic diapers!
Did I do that right?
Righter than you’ll ever know.
You guys are dumb.
I love you.
These are dumb.
I love them.
Optimists see the glass as half full, pessimists as half empty. Superheroes can’t see the glass because it’s wearing a cape (you know, unless they have x-ray vision).
