The relationship between Hero and Nemesis is more complicated than anything else in heroic history. It can also be one of the most intimate. Villains and enemies, even arch-enemies, can come and go, but a nemesis is forever - even beyond the grave. There's many recorded cases of one member of a Hero / Nemesis pair returning from the grave to interfere with the plans of the other. Basically, once you've got a relationship like that, the only solution is mutual annihilation, aka the "Reichenbach Divorce." |
