Last year, 14-year-old Mihir Jain could only dream of visiting Comic Con. He weighed 237kg, relied on insulin shots to keep diabetes in check and had been stuck to his bed for the past few years.

“At the time I never thought I could make it to the event but a year later, here I am, at the Delhi Comic Con. Honestly, I am shocked,” confesses Mihir who attended the event on Saturday.

Mihir, who is an avid gamer, a fan of DC Comics and counts The Hulk and Flash as his favourite superheroes, made news this July for being the world’s heaviest teenager.
