In comic book mythology, an origin story is an account that reveals how a character gained their powers and the circumstances under which they became a protagonist or antagonist. In nerd culture, every person has an origin story that set them down the path of being a lifelong nerd. These are their stories.

In this nerdy origin story, we interrogate Eat Sleep Nerd host Jason Summer about his nerdy background. He tells us about how his love of theater, why Superman is his favorite comic book character, how science fiction defined him as a nerd, and more.
