History YMMV / Warzone2100

* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler: NEXUS, that face, that voice, those eyes, that laughter, the fact he is able to monologue about what he is going to do to destroy you then does it before you have time to react or stop him. The fact he was very happy to kill billions of people. You will be scared of him regardless.]]
** Then again, one man's NightmareFuel is another man's {{Narm}}.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad NEXUS]], [[DigitizedHacker Dr. Alan Reed]], is a rogue scientist who managed to transfer his consciousness into cyberspace, becoming a highly advanced, intelligent ComputerVirus. After this successful BrainUploading, NEXUS infiltrated the military system and triggered the Collapse--global nuclear conflict--by sabotaging NASDA anti-missile satellites and launching nuclear missiles at every major city on Earth. After a while, NEXUS created his own cybernetic faction with the ambition of cleansing any surviving pockets of civilization who would stand against his own "cybernetic future" and shaping the new world [[InTheirOwnImage in his own image]]. NEXUS makes several attempts to use weapons of mass destruction against the Project, a faction dedicated to rebuilding civilization from its ashes, twice nuking their bases. During his second nuclear attack he orders his allies from the Collective to stop the player's forces from withdrawal, sending them to their deaths as a reward for their service.

* MagnificentBastard: The NEXUS AI by a long way [[spoiler:You stop his nukes firing, he sets them to blow up the area you are in. You go to help your allies, he takes over their base while you're in it, laughing at you all the way. You find a way to stop his program, he takes you over before you can research it. You find your own Nukes, he sends laser satellites to blow you up before you can get the access codes. Lets also not forget his creator disappeared and made the AI in his image, or uploaded himself perhaps and then killed almost everyone and everything]]. It's not only terrifying, but you have to admire his ability to counter your every move and who feels like a real threat throughout; to the point where one wrong move could fail the mission. Those who played Gamma Mission 8 will understand. And if some of his lines or messages are to be looked at closer, he was also[[spoiler:manipulating The Project, the New Paradigm and the Collective; evidenced by him ordering the latter to attack you as he fired a Nuke at your base without telling them that and after he captures gamma base he calls the Paradigm and the Collective fools and thanks you for all the technology you recovered.]]
** Oh no, Dr. Alan Reed, [[spoiler: a.k.a. NEXUS, is (or ''was'') a human alright. [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Kind of reminds you of another genocidal doctor from another series]], eh?]]
** Actually, [[spoiler: when you rescued the straggling Team Alpha survivors, they sort of found out that NEXUS IS Dr Alan Reed. The Synaptic Link technology allows humans to transverse digital worlds while keeping their bodies are kept alive in a life support unit.]]
