With the recent success of Iron Man, New Era is partnering with Marvel comics to create a new line of superhero themed caps.

New Era, the lead designer and manufacturer of headwear recently made the announcement that it will launch the "Super Heroes" Collection which will feature characters from Marvel's extensive collection.

The caps will be available in a variety of colors and in either satin or wool fabric.
