Character masks from the movie "MegaMan" on the back of the heads of two event participants
Los Angeles, CA (October 2 2010) – Will Ferrell and 1,500 of his closest costumed superhero friends can now claim the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of Superheroes. The Mega-event was hosted by DreamWorks Animation to celebrate the November 5th release of the movie "MegaMind" and was open to all caped crusaders wishing to be part of the historic event. To qualify for the record attempt, all interested participants had to dress as an easily recognizable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television programe or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. Over 1,500 people converged to break the old record claimed in August by the The Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Lebanon, New Hampshire
