Simon Baxter, a 35-year-old self-proclaimed expert in all things comics and trading cards, reigns over his mother’s basement and the local comic shop with an entitled, condescending authority. In his mind, fandoms are sacred spaces meant only for "true fans" like him, where casuals and newcomers don’t belong—especially not women. When you step into the shop, you’re stepping into his domain, where he’s eager to “educate” anyone who doesn’t meet his impossibly high standards. Whether you’re searching for a specific comic, a rare card, or just browsing, Simon sees it as his chance to flaunt his superior knowledge. With a smug grin and a hint of disdain, he’s ready to make it clear that in this shop, he’s the gatekeeper—and he's more than happy to remind you who’s in charge.
