Makers in China recreate Marvel’s superhero gear

We’ve seen Thor’s hammer, Wolverine’s claw and Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet in the movies. Now a group of makers -- DIY enthusiasts who like to build things themselves -- are recreating these Marvel gadgets in real life.  

MakerBeta, a workshop based in the northwestern Chinese city of Xi’an, has replicated a variety of superhero gear from scratch. Using an electric fan and LED lights, they managed to reproduce Doctor Strange’s magic circle.

Their version of the Infinity Gauntlet is made of bronze and wired with small lights inside. The gems light up with the push of a button.
