How often do you reveal your comic power level to normies?

>>88520277
Rarely ever. My friends all know my power level but none of them are normies. When I'm around normies there's no need to show my powerlevel.

>>88520277
Family and friends know that I read them.
That's about it.

>>88520277
only when challanged

>>88520277
Not unless they ask first. But there's is always disappointingly low compared to mine regardless.

All of my friends know, normies and non-normies alike. I don't really talk about comics with normies unless they come up to me about it. That said, I do enjoy talking about comics with whomever wants to hear.

>>88520277
Never. I never talk to anyone le alone about my lame ass hobbies.

>>88520277
>both the author self insert and unreasonable strawman are wrong
nice

>>88520277
Weren't there 5?

Dick, Jason, Tim, Sophie, and Damien

>>88520426
The correct answer is "way too many".

>>88520277
Technically, they're both wrong. There have been five Robins in the main canon, regardless of retcons.

Always, because I want them to feel uncomfortable and regret talking to me to begin with. I don't think it works, because they keep talking, but I keep trying.

>>88520277
When my friends ask me question or ask me for recs.

Batman T-Shirt might be adding Carrie Kelly onto the list.

>>88520447
She probably counted Carrie Kelly and he probably doesn't count Steph.

If Carrie Kelly counts then there have been 7 because of Helena Wayne.

Dick, Jason, Tim, Steph, Damian, Carrie, Helena.

You're like a Sheldon for them, only with serious hygiene issues.
What's your buzzword?

>>88520277
At work alot. I work at a Gamestop so I get alot of fellow nerds to talk to. I also come from a famliy of comic readers on my dads side so every time me and my uncles get together we talked about comics for awhile. I have an uncle who's got a whole basement full of mint conditions

>>88520277
Every time we play a trivia game and a question involving comics comes up.

>>88520589
This. Does Duke count now?

>>88520363

pretty much this

I'll make some references and recommendations to people I know have gone into the abyss of nerdiness in other mediums as far as I have but otherwise I try to keep it vague, try to pretend I have to think on it a bit if they ask me a comic-related question.

>>88520705
no

>>88520277
Unfortunatley when I say I like comics people don't understand that I mean the medium as a whole and only want to talk to me about capeshit. Capeshit is fine and all but there's so much more to life dammit.

>>88520277
When people go full casual trying to seem smart, or if asked about something

>>88521033
Honestly the only acceptable answer

Rarely. If they ever ask about comics, cartoons, and whatnot I keep it simple unless they take the conversation in depth themselves.

Comic book powerlevels don't really seem like a thing to hide anymore. Superhero movies have mode comic characters so mainstream that the risk of being perceived as a manchild is practically zero.

Unless comics is the only thing you're capable of having a prolonged discussion about, and you're unable to distinguish between someone's genuine interest vs. their straining tolerance towards a topic that have absolutely no interest in.

But that has nothing to do with powerlevels.

>>88520277
Most people who know me just kind of assume I am a force to be reckoned with just because I read comics. The one exception was a younger cousin of mine who decided to argue with me about how one can kill Deadpool and I destroyed him with multiple specific citations while the rest of my family looked on in horror.
