I created this for Halloween excitement. The electronics (unseen) would gradually brighten the LEDs in my palm, then activate the camera flash. Note that it takes a long time to render the OpenSCAD glove model - about 45 minutes on my computer - but I've included it, just in case someone wants to modify it for their own use. Notes on building this project: The light is made up of eight LEDs and a camera flash. The flash was separated from the rest of the camera electronics. The rest of the flash electronics (as well as a microcontroller to PWM the LEDs and trigger the flash) were in a nicely designed box mounted to my arm, with a cable running from that box to the glove. I bought an inexpensive glove, cut a hole in the palm so the cable could be routed through the glove (to hide the wires). I put velcro on the inside of the printed finger tips and the glove finger tips. Note that the velcro held up for one night of Halloween, but the "sticky side" doesn't stick very well to fabric gloves, so if I were to do it again, I'd probably try to sew the velcro to the gloves. Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the Marvel Universe. However, I created this model from scratch by looking at pictures online.
