Officials count people in super-hero costumes at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on April 18, 2014, during an attempt to break a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record of people as comic book charactors. They had 237 charactors show up, but needed 1532 to break the record set in China. The colorful visitors are in Washington, DC, attending the Awesome Con 2014, a celebration of all things pop culture, with a focus on comic books, science fiction, and fantasy, at the Washington Convention Center.
