A young American kid from Utah, Seth Anderson recently went viral because of the plaster he had put on after he broke his arm. Set was walking up the stairs in his house when he tripped and broke his left arm. He literally spent 5 days thinking about what he could do in order to make his arm cast stand out so his brother gave him the idea of turning the cast into the Infinity Gaunlet. Seth and his mom worked a little craft magic on his cast and turned it into the Infinity Gauntlet used by the mad titan Thanos in Avengers Infinity War and Endgame.

The Infinity Gauntlet cast

Seth wanted a purple-coloured cast in order to have a skin colour similar to that of Thanos. The young American did not realize that his choice to make his cast into the Infinity war Gauntlet which the mad titan uses in Infinity War saga to wipe out half of the population in the universe would make him popular.

Anderson is an ardent fan of the Avengers movie, which is the thing that made him take this decision. the day after he broke his arm, Anderson was at home and watched six back to back movies of the Marvel universe to stop thinking about the pain in his arm.

When he decided to paint the gauntlet on his cast, his mom and his brother helped him with it. They bought two different shades of paint, a marker, and 7 pearls. The stones are yellow, blue, purple, green, orange and red in colour which matches with the shades of the Infinity Stones shown in both the Avengers movie.

The family spent the day painting. Christine Anderson did most of the work. Jonathan, who found a reference photograph for Christine to work from, assisted with a portion of the shadings towards the end.

Seth's peers congratulated him for the new gauntlet cast. They were also the ones who revealed to him that he was trending on Reddit. 

His friends also requested him to snap just like Thanos did in the Marvel movies and Iron Man and the Hulk did in Endgame 
Christine Anderson said the cast makes it hard for his thumb and pointer to meet whenever Seth tried to snap his fingers like Thanos.

"We don't know if Thanos would have had the option to snap with this gauntlet," she said. "It really is great that he can't snap, since who knows what might have occurred." 

Anderson will wear the "Gaunlet" cast for about a month. All things considered, that is the thing that the doctors told him. He said he intends to wear it for five weeks or "possibly more."

A noble deed

For Christine Anderson, the viral story and the choice to create such a cast was an opportunity for her and the Anderson family to transform a negative situation into something positive. "What makes me so glad," she stated, is that it's so hopeless to break your arm and to successfully make that kid feel incredible and marvelous at a critical step of life merits everything to see him grin like that while entering his school.
