It felt a little like Halloween in Pauls Valley on Saturday, minus the candy and cool weather, as a crowd of 124 original superheroes in costume gathered for International Superhero Day. 

“I just wanted to see my town full of superheroes,” said Kevin Stark, curator of The Toy & Action Figure Museum.

The event, hosted by The Toy & Action Figure Museum, was an attempt to set a record for the most original superheroes gathered in costume in one place.
