Fans of Captain America and the Avengers turned out in their droves for a rare sale of memorabilia linked to the superhero in Chicago, Illinois at the weekend.
Profiles in History's Captain America: The First Avenger auction was a huge success with 217 of the 219 items snapped up for a total US$1.1 million.
Some of the highlights included the Captain America Hero Costume, which Chris Evans wore in advertising and promotional materials for the 2011 film, and the original full-scale screen-used Mark II Autopsy suit from Iron Man 2.
The former went under the hammer for US$228,000 and the latter for US$132,000.
