Marvel's superheroes united to fulfill the wish of a 60-year-old dying man.
Sophie Caldecott took to Twitter and started a campaign 'CapForStrat' requesting the 'Avengers' actors to post selfies for her father Stratford Caldecott, who was diagnosed with cancer in October 2011 because he was a huge fan, News.com.au reported.

The entire scenario has been very touching and this isn't just about blessing her dad's last days, but it also about spreading a wider campaign regarding awareness about prostate cancer, she added.
