A covert, military-like organization existing to keep the super-powered factions of the DC Universe under a watchful eye, Checkmate operates beyond national boundary, affiliation or agenda for what they deem the protection of humankind from out of control superheroes and villains.
New series writer Bruce Jones enlists in the series to introduce the newest weapon in the Checkmate armory: Chimera! Saved from death and genetically enhanced to become a one-man wave of destruction, Chimera was once a human soldier and may now be the only thing standing between civilization and an approaching apocalypse. He may be perfectly suited for supernatural combat, but will Chimera's past destroy humanity's future?
