- There's Hope. There's Help. There's Super-Anon. The story of ordinary people, just like you, trying to find meaning without a cape or tights.
- Chester Pinkerton, a man with a problem. A man who can't have any real friends, and his secrets run too deep. Chester can't talk about them. Ever. Words cannot describe the loneliness, the frustration, and the galactic sense of inferiority. Maybe there is hope. Maybe there is help. There is SuperAnon. The story of ordinary people, just like you, trying to find meaning without a cape or tights.—Stephen Plitt
- It's the low-rent industrial part of town, night. Chester checks a card in his hand. It has an address on it. He looks up at the sign. Nope. Another few blocks. He pans down to the newspaper he steps on EVIL RAMPAGE OVERNIGHT.
Chester checks the next sign. It's the right alley. But it looks scary. Chester hesitates, a bit nervous. It is the place where best not to think about that. He steels and steps into the lane. Chester checks the card. He looks at the number painted on the bricks over the door by the ramp. It is the one. Beside the door is a battered aluminum button mounted on a battered plate. With a deep breath, Chester pushes it. BZZZZZZT!
AAAAGH! A scream from within. Three seconds of silence. Chester checks the button suspiciously. Suddenly, a small eye-level Alcatraz-style metal slide slams open. A pair of deep-set eyes peer out. A cough sounds faint from within.
Chester holds up the card. The slide slams shut. Three more seconds of silence, and the door opens. A well-dressed butler harrumphed and turns to lead Chester into the darkness.
It's not a nice place. Rather dingy. The butler looks decidedly out of place. And Chester feels decidedly uncomfortable. It seems like this passage goes on forever, past half-demolished rooms, over puddles and electrical wiring, under dangling drywall and light fixtures, 17% of which are functioning. He's going somewhere almost no person on earth knows about. A place so secret, you have to know where it is to find it.
Chester is the brother of Peter Pinkerton, the alter-ego of Formidiman. Peter is Superhero and nemesis to only one man. Chester has to keep his brother's secret identity secret. Who has to live in the shadow of his far superior sibling. He can't talk to anyone. Finally, Chester enters the super-secret headquarters of Super-Anon, the support group for families of superheroes. It is where he will find the only people on earth who could ever qualify to be his peers.
