The Matchman, ready to pitch
The Matchman is a deep, ready-made world: a treasure trove of scripts, prose, songs, and animation built over two decades. Every page is original work, and all of it is readable online today.
One line
Scott Suffix, an awkward genetics researcher, survives a botched lab experiment and becomes an unlikely superhero whose power is matchmaking. His mission is the oldest one there is: to heal a fractured world, one match at a time.
The universe
The world and the cast at a glance
The world
- The Matchman is not a lone hero but a warm, funny crew at VALentine Complex, who throw matches instead of punches.
- They reunite lonely hearts and reconcile enemies, turning "I am alone" into "we go together."
- Their enemy is despair itself, embodied by Doctor Dejection and his Anticupids of B.L.A.H.
- The tone stays playful and the subjects keep changing: romance, politics, pop culture, faith. Many flavors, one big heart.
The cast
- Matchman (Scott Suffix): awkward genius with hypergenetic matchmaking powers.
- Suzanne Grace: the brains of VALentine Complex, master of doublesign astrology.
- Z-Girl (Azusa Zeitzler): snarky sidekick with a quiet crush on Scott.
- Lance Corporeal: imposing yet kindly, the muscle with a heart of gold.
- Doctor Dejection: mastermind of B.L.A.H., who thrives on humanity's fears.
