by Neil Cole

The Guinness World Record for most number of people wearing superhero costumes in one location has been set in Australia.

A total of 1245 people wearing their favourite DC Comics Super Hero costumes converged on Melbourne, Australia's Federation Square on Saturday, May 29th to break the world record. The former record was 1091 people and was previously held by the United Kingdom.

Superman was the most popular hero, closely followed by Batman, Robin and Spider Man. The girls were out in force too, dressed as Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, Super Girl and Hawk Girl.
