capeless
Lacking a cloak
Capeless means without a cape.
The word appears most often describing superheroes who lack the traditional flowing garment: a capeless crusader.
It can also describe formal wear missing an expected cape or cloak, or characterize someone as unheroic or ordinary: Just a capeless guy trying to get through the day.
