Last week's Comic Con filled New York with an array of creative and colorful costumes, but it was one in particular that stood out above the rest in the most literal sense.

Thomas DePetrillo's 9.5-foot Hulkbuster suit was the star of the four-day event, leaving attendees in awe as it thundered through the Javits Center in Manhattan.

The suit, which is worn by Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron film, took DePetrillo 1,600 hours to make over the last two years.

It is 6ft 6 inches wide, 44 inches thick and weighs 95lb. It takes DePetrillo 20 minutes to put on, according to Tech Insider.

The eyes of the suit glow white and shoot green lasers. The armor is dotted with bright red lights.

DePetrillo, of Extreme Costumes, said the Hulkbuster costume was the 'single largest, most domineering thing' he's ever created in his 19-year career.

'Some of the most exciting experiences in my life have happened because I was in a costume,' he said in The Man in the Machine, a short film about the making of the costume.

'I see something on a screen or an anime or a TV show or a comic book, I'm frequently thinking "Can I make that?"'

'When I get into this suit, it's going to make me feel alive in a way that very rarely you get to feel in real life,' he said, pictured during the building process of the costume

DePetrillo finds joy both in the creation of the costume and the chance to interact with people while he wears it - but he also loves just being able to transform into a different character.

'When I get into this suit, it's going to make me feel alive in a way that very rarely you get to feel in real life,' he said.

'When I go to a place like New York Comic Con, for a brief window, for just a few days, I get to be a star too.'

And a star DePetrillo was, even taking home best in show during the conference's Eastern Championships of Cosplay competition.
