TODAY! Dress Up as a Superhero and Make History

The San Diego Comic-Con is nearly a year away, so why not dust off that Green Lantern or Captain America costume and head to LA to help Will Ferrell and MegaMind make history! Read on...


WHO: Will Ferrell (aka Megamind), DreamWorks Animation and Guinness World Records

WHAT: Join Will Ferrell and 1,500 of his closest costumed superhero friends as they attempt to make heroic history and claim the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of Superheroes. The Mega-event hosted by DreamWorks Animation is open to all caped crusaders wishing to join the fun.

To qualify for the record attempt, all interested participants must arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. The feat will be judged by official Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Spokesperson, Stuart Claxton and will require a minimum of 1,501 superheroes to break the current world record.

The world record attempt will mark the kickoff of MegaMonth, an official month dedicated to Mega-events across the country in celebration of the release of MEGAMIND on November 5th.

WHEN: Saturday, October 2

8:00 - 10:00 a.m. - Arrivals / Mega-Breakfast

10:00 - 10:30 a.m. - Record attempt, Certificate Presentation

WHERE: LA LIVE

800 W. Olympic Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90015


MegaMind(Will Ferrell) is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known…and the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way - Each attempt, a colossal failure thanks to the caped superhero known as “Metro Man,” (Brad Pitt) until the day Megamind actually defeats him in the throes of one of his botched evil plans. Suddenly, the fate of Metro City is threatened when a new villain arrives and chaos runs rampant, leaving everyone to wonder: Can the world’s biggest “mind” actually be the one to save the day?

MegaMind opens November 5th

I would fully do this if I could get there. My Deadpool costume is pretty close to being finished. Just got my sword today from Ebay. Belt buckle is on it's way and then, I get the mask. Can't wait for Halloween.

You should check out Ebay. Has a lot of great things for sale. It's where I got the Deadpool belt buckle, sword and soon, the Deadpool mask. Got to make some of the costume tho. Or really, just got to buy some red and black pants, same with the shirt, and then put them all together in the right way. May not be an exact copy of Deadpool's look, but it'll be a helluva lot better than that grizzly Barraka knock-off. LoL

Sucks that it is raining, vinyl and spandex don't strike me as being all that comfortable when wet.

I went and it rocked! Sadly, I was one of about 800 Batmen. Very crappy and obviously unoriginal. Lots of fun though.
