For Producers

The Matchman, ready to pitch

A matchmaker superhero universe, built over two decades and ready for film, animation, and publishing.

The logline

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.

Meet the full cast.
