History YMMV / Nemesis

* CompleteMonster: [[AntagonistTitle The title character]] is a [[AxCrazy wealthy sociopath]] who [[spoiler:paid to become a supervillain]]. Nemesis travels around the world, slaughtering innocents and targeting honest police chiefs [[ForTheEvulz for fun]]. Choosing inspector Blake Morrow as his next target, Nemesis terrorizes the United States: crashing a plane into Washington; gassing the Pentagon to kidnap the President; and blowing up a prison that detains him after letting himself get caught. To [[KickTheDog further torment Blake]], Nemesis outs the former's son as gay, inseminates his daughter with his son's sperm and triggers her womb to collapse if an abortion is attempted. Confronted by Blake, Nemesis reveals he's strapped bombs to both the President and Blake's wife and ecstatically tries to force the inspector to [[SadisticChoice choose who will die]].

* CompleteMonster: The [[VillainProtagonist title character]] is what you'd get if ComicBook/TheJoker had Franchise/{{Batman}}'s resources. Much like the Joker, Nemesis wants nothing more than to [[ForTheEvulz cause as much havoc and death as he can]]. The comic begins with Nemesis blowing up a SWAT team and the building they were in, killing a police chief, and causing a subway train to derail, killing everyone inside. He then turns his attention to the President of the United States, and to an inspector named Blake Morrow, who he claims caused his father to hang himself when Morrow tried to arrest him. He hijacks Air Force One and purposefully crashes it into a densely populated area of Washington, D.C., killing hundreds; then he takes the President hostage. After that, he uses poison gas to kill 20,000 people at the Pentagon, with the exception of Morrow and his partner, and releases many government secrets online. He then lets himself be captured, only to break out of prison, killing dozens of guards with his bare hands, and releases all of the prisoners into the city, blowing up the prison on his way out. Nemesis then kidnaps Morrow's children, inseminates his daughter with his son's sperm and [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext rigs his daughter's womb to collapse if an abortion is attempted]]. Then he leads another SWAT team into a deadly trap. When Morrow's partner reveals that he had been working for Nemesis the whole time, Nemesis casually shoots him, and it's hinted that [[BadBoss he kills all of his henchmen]] when they [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlive their usefulness]]. He also reveals that he was lying about his family and his past--he has no FreudianExcuse, he's just, as he puts it, "[[ItAmusedMe rich and bored]]". Finally, he shows Morrow that he tied bombs to the President and to Morrow's wife, and tries to make Morrow [[SadisticChoice choose which one dies]]. An utter maniac, Nemesis proves himself to be nothing but a sadistic, psychotic freak in all of his appearances.

* Retroactive Recognition: This film features one of the first roles for [[ThePunisher Thomas Jane]].

* CompleteMonster: According to issue two, [[spoiler: He comes from a whole line of these. His mother and father ran an underground hunting club involving killing teenage runaways for their rich friends. His father hung himself when they were caught, but his mother was sent to the electric chair. Her last words were to tell her son to destroy the policeman who exposed them. And the main character qualifies in spades, of course.]]
