"I'm rich and I'm bored."

- Nemesis, when asked why he was committing all of his atrocities by the DC chief of Police (final issue)

Perhaps the most easily-hated character of comics books, a villian who makes Joker look benign, Nemesis is a supervillian in an Ice-cream white suit and cape that has fighting abilities and gadgets similar to Batman, but uses his gifts to spread terror and murder.

Some say that the tycoon's father was found guilty of being involved in a rich man's hunting club, where the prey were the poor and runaways. Whatever the case, he has attempted and carried out several acts of supervillainy, such as kidnapping the President, poisoning a Japanese aquifer, attemtped to steal a donor heart that a dying little girl needed, and butchering nearly 100 baton-wielding-riot-geared Prison guards. The Chief of Police managed to shoot and kill Nemesis near a devistated White House, but other supervillians will eventually make themselves known: the company, after all, has more clients...
