In this episode, I chat with Jake “The Nice Guy” Garabedian—a kind soul with a big heart and a deep love for cosplay. Jake shares how his California upbringing and Armenian roots shaped his journey, and how becoming characters like Star-Lord—and now Superman—lets him bring joy to others, especially kids.

We talk about the emotional weight of wearing the cape, what it means to embody Superman with authenticity, and why this character still inspires so many. Jake also shares his thoughts on James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, the excitement around the new suit reveal, and what it means for fans who’ve been waiting for a hopeful take on the Man of Steel.

Jake’s story is full of heart, creativity, and the genuine desire to make the world a little brighter—one smile at a time.

It’s Superman Day, and as always, my cape is metaphorically (and sometimes literally) on. I’m Luke Bugg, also known as The Geek of Steel, and today I want to celebrate not just the Man of Steel himself, but the incredible journey I’ve had as a Superman fan.

My love for Superman didn’t start in the pages of a comic—it began with Smallville. That show lit a spark in me. Watching Clark Kent grow, struggle, and eventually step into his power was inspiring. That journey pulled me in and never let go. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a full-blown passion, one that eventually led me to create The Geek of Steel—a place where I could share my love for the Last Son of Krypton with the world.

Over the years, this passion has taken me on some truly unforgettable adventures. I’ve been lucky enough to attend comic conventions, meet some of the incredible actors, writers, and artists who bring these stories to life, and most importantly, I’ve connected with a global community of fans who feel just as strongly as I do.

Being part of this fandom has changed my life. It’s helped me grow, given me purpose, and shown me the power of embracing who you are and what you love. That’s what Superman is about for me—hope, strength, kindness, and the courage to stand up for what’s right, even when it’s hard.

I’ve had the honour of being a voice for this community, and through Superman-related projects, I’ve formed emotional connections that go far deeper than just being a fan. There’s something truly powerful about the way stories—whether told in comics, books, films, or TV—can offer hope, escapism, and inspiration when we need it most.

As I look forward to what’s next—new Superman stories, films, and moments to “geek out”over—I also take a moment to look back. I reflect on the legacy of Superman, the incredible creators who brought him into the world, and what he continues to mean to people everywhere.

Superman means a lot to me. He’s more than just a hero in a cape—he’s a symbol of what we can all strive to be. And on Superman Day, I’m filled with nothing but gratitude. Gratitude for this community, for the opportunities I’ve had, and for the joy of being part of a fandom that truly feels like home.

Up, up, and away.

– Luke Bugg, The Geek Of Steel

This episode was fun to build! I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with animator and 3D artist Trevor Carlee about his incredible career and his love for all things LEGO. We talked about his creative journey, the magic of bringing brick-based projects to life, and how he’s recreated some iconic TV and movie scenes in LEGO form.

We also couldn’t not discuss the moment James Gunn himself shared Trevor’s LEGO recreation of the new Superman trailer.

Trevor’s work is visual stunning, charming, and passionate. I can’t wait for you to hear his story!
