In NBC’s new show The Cape, Vince Faraday is an ex-cop and father who is forced to take the guise of his son’s favorite comic book hero to bring down a corrupt police force. Faraday has his cape, made of Kevlar-like spider silk, which he can snap like a whip to disable foes. What do you have in your GeekDad utility belt?
If your own superhero stockpile is spent and you’re looking to replenish, then look no further. GeekDad and The Cape are bringing you the best of the best in geeky tools, gadgets and entertainment so that you can re-arm yourself for the upcoming year.

Today’s additions–can you believe we have two again?–are from ThinkGeek, where monkeys roam and dreams really do come true.
First, for the grand prize winner, an end to wimpy matches and lighters. Yes, it’s the Swedish FireSteel, a firestarting tool that produces sparks as hot as 3,000°C. You’ll never reach for that can of lighter fluid again.
Along with the FireSteel, our big winner gets a Survival Kit in a Sardine Can. Crack it open and you’ve got fishing line, a compass, first aid kit, matches, duct tape, a razor blade and other assorted survival supplies. Best of all? No sardines!
We’ve got four additional Survival Kits to give away as consolation prizes, so just fill out the form below (or click here to fill it out in a new window) and be sure to let us know what single item you always include in your utility belt. This contest is limited to US addresses only. Enter once and you’re set for the entire contest, so no need to fill out the form every day.
And be sure to check out The Cape on NBC, with a special encore premiere event TONIGHT at 9/8c.
