Nearby, their friends milled about in Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America get-ups.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">The occasion was the early-bird screening of Avengers: Infinity War, the latest in Marvel\u2019s all-star superhero series, which officially opens on Friday.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cI\u2019ve been dressing up as SpiderMan for six or seven years now,\u201d said Spider_Inferno, 35, who appears regularly at conventions, kids\u2019 birthday parties and Comiccon.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cI\u2019ve been a Spider-Man fan since I was five years old. Peter Parker is a real hero, not like Superman, who is the most unrelatable superhero character out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">How deep is his love? Spider_ Inferno has a Spider-Man tattoo, his condo is \u201cliterally a SpiderMan shrine,\u201d and he is the owner of some 5,000 Spider-Man comics.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cHe\u2019s definitely my spirit animal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">Which made for a good reason to be excited about Avengers: Infinity War, and to dress for the occasion.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cAs a huge comic geek, who has read the Infinity Wars comic books, &#8230; I\u2019m looking forward to seeing all 10 years of MCU (Marvel Comics Universe) come together,\u201d Spider_Inferno said.<\/p>\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cAll those superheroes we love and grew up watching are coming together for an epic story; I can\u2019t wait.
