You could use a Zartan hood from his modern era release, or Retaliation release if you want the harness too.

Moon Knight's cape and the modern era release's hood could give you what you need combined. Same to the recommended Storm Shadow hood someone else said.

The Retaliation Zartan would give you a decent hooded harness without the cape, though you probably could still add one to it.

Spectre's cape would be a too tight of a fit because of the size difference. It's not designed for anything larger than Infinite Hero heads and even those, anything larger than the Spectre's bald head doesn't really fit and is too tight(I tried to do a Hal Jordan Spectre custom back when I first go the IH spectre figure, instead ended up making a Hal Jordan Parallax and GL Keeper of the Crypt styled Corps member since the Jordan head didn't fit in the hood right).

Doom's cape would look weird with the clasp on it. You could always go cloth cape too though, and superglue it to the inside of whatever hood you pick. That'd work for the Storm Shadow hood or the Retaliation Zartan harness hood.

If you use the Zartan Retaliation harness, I measuring the cloth for the outward neckline, then folding it about a quarter inch in, then ironing it so the crease stays permanent. Superglue at the fold so the harness looks more as part of the seam around the neck above the harness but on the hood. Then paint to match. Don't paint before gluing. Otherwise the glue will set into the paint and pull it off.
Or if you have any sewing skills, you can sew it around the hood for a snug fit that stays in place. If you feel really brave, you can do a clasp.

When I was a kid, my grandma made a bunch of little action figure capes for my DC figures. A really neat superman red cape, and some green ones. They all have metal clasps on them too for ease of changing them between my toys. But a cape like that with the retaliation Zartan harness would really complete that figure well. Though it'd be a bit more unique instead of the pictured straps and belt.

The Toy Biz first Doctor Doom figure from the 90s is possible too, and there's a kenner style green cape from one of their lines too I found, but no clue what figure it was with. It has the threading for the classic Batman/Superman/Robin neck clip on though which was mostly a Kenner thing. It's Doctor Doom style bright green, but his is tied in silver tiny loops at the top to go on his black clasp for the more regal look.



Sorry for the blurriness, lighting on that shelf sucks so the auto focus didn't want to work for a quick pic.

If you do a cloth cape like that, it'd mostly need to be measure to fit your needs and use a small clasp. The superman one is way too thick, but something closer to the green one could work. It has got a rolled collar though, you'd want a flat folded collar like the green cape's edges are done. Could give you a more 4'' masterpiece feel to your figure too.

The Zartan Retalation hood could still work too if you trimmed off the lower harness part.

Maybe Zartan Retaliations hood trim the harness off, and use Taskmaster's cape?
