Kissimmee turned into a comic-book come-to-life on Saturday, September 13, 2025, as families, fans, and first-timers filled the Kissimmee Civic Center for Fandom Kissimmee: Heroes & Villains—a free, six-hour celebration of pop culture that delivered wall-to-wall energy and unforgettable moments.
Kissimmee’s own Justin Hetu—sporting a bright-green, Riddler-esque suit jacket—opened the event on the main stage and later led the Fandom Trivia showdown, keeping the crowd laughing and cheering between rounds.
