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 Brittany Arp about her nerdy background. She tells us about her love of cosplay, why Rogue is her favorite comic book character, how Dragon Ball Z helped her identify as a nerd, and more.
