Stalemate is a chronicle of events as pertaining to a hero-Dennis Farmer who is alternately Hero-and his two roomates Bradley Amy, who just so happen to be the villains he finds himself fighting on a day to day basis. It takes place in the prestigous Marigold City, a sprawling urban mass with a number of quirks and little pleasantries, the least of which being that the city is the 'four corners' so to speak of the territories of several well-established superheroes. Dennis must navigate his turbulent place in a society that expects much of its empowered members, a friendship with his enemies, and all the wonderful adventures that come with being a fledgling superhero.

General Storyline

Chronologically, Dennis' story begins with his decision to leave the countryside where he grew up and venture into the city, where he has every intention of setting himself up as a professional masked hero. He quickly selects the perfect location after several failed attempts in already occupied towns.


Trivia

  • Stalemate's name was selected from a very short list; it was almost named Stand-off instead. The name was chosen due to the 'fact of life' Breaker spoke of at one point in the beginning of the story: the world they live in is filled with heroes and villains, and every superpowered person has a even match somewhere amid the populace. Once that hero and villain find each other, they are stuck in a limbo for the rest of their career. The hero will never let the villain succeed in his plans and the villain will never quite be outdone. It is scale of victory and defeat that is inescapable. And it drives them all insane.
  • The Data Collectors seen throughout Stalemate are often comparable to the human members of the Asylum from imPerfect and the contracted employees of the Institute. It is implied several times that the Data Collectors are more dangerous than they initially appear, but as they have made no move against anyone with documented superpowers most simply go about their business.
