Los Angeles County firefighter Daniel Trevizo worried that he was creating a fire risk at Comic-Con.
Crowds blocked aisles Saturday as they took pictures of the 5-foot-8 Claremont resident in his 8-foot-tall Hulkbuster costume, made of EVA foam with some PVC pipe support.
“I feel bad because I know I’m being a fire hazard, so I got to keep moving. It’s kind of tough,” said Trevizo, 43, who entertains patients at a children’s hospital in Los Angeles. He says his fellow firefighters think his hobby is “cool, but I get a bit of ribbing.”
Like the comics, a good way to tell a story of Comic-Con Day 3 is visually. So here are our top 12 highlights of Day 3 at the San Diego Convention Center and nearby.
