LOS ANGELES — Growing up in Clovis, California, near Fresno, young Nate Moore and his siblings occupied themselves with movies, video games, sports, books and — crucially — comics.
Every month or so, Moore and his older brother would walk three miles to a local comic book store and rummage through the 25-cent bin. When he got a little older, he absorbed obscure superhero lore by digging through the character bios of a Marvel role playing game he found at a B. Dalton bookseller.
Those idle hours provided the early education that would prepare him for his current role.
