I think that “dork” is the preferred title for that.

Little bit of a geek, been to a few conventions over the years, the best ones were the Stargate ones called CHEVRON that were held in the Radison at Heathrow, they were smaller and were set out nice, all pics and autos in the morning and panels and interviews in the afternoon, wood be good to meet people into both Sci-Fi and the scene

A comic book can be science fiction, so can an unillustrated book, or a radio show,or something only ever conceived as a film.

It's the genre not the delivery method.

That would depend on what iron man suit you were talking about as they all have very different specifications

The lowered being the mark 1 after that it would be the mark 5 (suitcase armour) when it come to suits like the phoenix buster suit (yes its a thing) thats beyond measuring

Not at all. Some women are also sci-fi/geeks too and others actually find it kinda cute when guys get all passionate about things they like whatever it maybe. Embrace your inner geek and be proud
