The Brighton Beach Superhero Run Includes Fatboy Slim

The Brighton Beach Superhero Run Includes Fatboy SlimBrighton on the South Coast of Britain has held their annual Hero Run again, a charity event where every runner dresses up in a comic book-related or superhero costume to raise money for the Passing It On charity.

After breaking the world record for superhero-assemblage last year, only to see it snatched by an American competitor, the event hoped to seize the crown back again – sadly an ill tempered climate decided that clouds, cold wind and a little drizzle were the order of the day. And no one had thought to dress up as Storm in an attempt to guarantee better weather – and attendance.

Still a fine day seems to have been had by all, young and old. And thanks to Marc Seddon and Matt Watts, Bleeding Cool has a few photos to share with you.

A very mainstream cosplay, the event saw all sorts of specialist knowledge make its way into the designs. Amongst the Supermen, Iron Men, Wonder Women and Spider-Men were the Hit Girls, Ming The Mercilesses, Hong Kong Phooey, Captain Britain, and local popstar Norman Cooke, better known as Fatboy Slim, dressed as Obelix, as part of an Asterix-themed group.

If this had been in Devon, it would have given the relevant image below a much better pun. Ah well.
