As a group of over two dozen Marvel cosplayers arranged themselves on the staircase outside the Meadowlands Exposition Center during Heroes and Villains Fan Fest, a New Jersey Transit bus driver parked his vehicle at the crosswalk and ran up for a photo.

The driver stood on the stairs of his bus as the meetup organizer yelled over the loudspeaker, “I’ve got a better idea. Come over here and strike a pose.” The line of photographers immediately cleared a path and the man jogged through the crowd to join the front lines of the photoshoot right next to Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Magneto and The Punisher. After two very enthusiastic poses and a round of applause, the driver got back in his seat, closed the double doors and drove away. Watch the video below.

The first day of Heroes & Villains Fan Fest held in Secaucus, New Jersey, featured panels with the cast members of Agents of SHIELD, Gotham and Arrow. John Barrowman, who plays Malcolm Merlyn on Arrow and Captain Jack in Dr. Who, took to the stage for his own panel.

There was tons of amazing cosplay today, even a Marvel dance party (see here), but expect even more tomorrow for the cosplay contest at 2:45 p.m. Stephen Amell, absent from today’s events, is scheduled for his own panel tomorrow afternoon, followed by the cast of The Flash. Arrow vets Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, and Katrina Law come to the main stage later in the evening.

What a beatiful moment for comic book fans. Let us know what you think of the video in the comments below.
