# Web-Slinging Housecoats Any Superhero Fan is Sure to Enjoy the Marvel Comics Bathrobes By Marina Rotharmel | Published 2012-10-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-comics-bathrobes References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec5c/?pfm=homepage_BestDeals_7_ec5c) There's no reason to only dress like a superhero on Halloween, you can do it all year round with the [Marvel Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuf-of-legends) Bathrobes. These geeky, but awesome housecoats are for all those lazy, indulgent wannabe superheros out there. You'll be able to feel like a total vigilante as soon as you get out of bed or pop out of the shower. These fun nerdy robes are inspired by the Marvel comic book character known only as Spiderman. The bathrobe has the same blue and red design, along with the iconic Spiderman symbol printed on the back. However it's much less form fitting than the actual suit, which means it'll be much more comfortable -- it probably won't be enticing any ladies though. These would make a fun gift for any dorky [comic book fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Superhero Bathrobes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and create bathrobes inspired by various superhero characters to cater to the geeky consumer market. - **Nerdy Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a line of clothing and accessories inspired by comic book characters to capitalize on the growing demand for geek culture merchandise. - **Geeky Gifts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a range of unique and quirky gifts targeted specifically towards dorky comic book fans and enthusiasts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate technology and unique designs into traditional apparel items, like bathrobes, to attract the geeky consumer demographic. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create immersive experiences and events that bring comic book characters to life, appealing to the fandom and generating new revenue streams. - **Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the range of merchandise available for comic book fans by licensing and producing creative products themed around popular characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-Themed Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiderman-x-crocs.md) - [Quick-Dry Odor-Free Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k25-smart-bathrobe-20.md) - [Arachnid Superhero Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-marvel-spiderman-collection.md) - [Comic Collab Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-x-marvel.md) - [Relaxing Bedding-Inspired Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-gandy-duvet-robe.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Comic-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains.md) - [Superhero Lifestyle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastic-four-first-steps.md) - [Branded Superhero Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noblechairs-hero-iron-man-chair.md)
