One of the best things about this game is the nemesis system. I would like to see what you guys came up with, hence the tread ;)
Black Dragon`s nemeses :
Obakemono , dual swords, martial arts ninjas for henchmen
(http://i.imagehost.org/0647/Obakemono.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0647/Obakemono)
Big Boss, might, military weapons mafia for henchmen
(http://e.imagehost.org/0065/Big_Boss.jpg) (http://e.imagehost.org/view/0065/Big_Boss)
The Hawk, archery, military weapons soldiers for henchmen
(http://i.imagehost.org/0466/The_Hawk.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0466/The_Hawk)
And Lightning Bolt`s first nemesis (he just hit 25 lvl)
Doctor Dreyfuss, power armor, power armor robots for henchmen
(http://d.imagehost.org/0771/doctor_dreyfuss.jpg) (http://d.imagehost.org/view/0771/doctor_dreyfuss)
Good idea for a thread. I'll have to take pics of mine.
Spartanic nemesis...Neo Xerxes! A reincarnation of the wouldbe conquerer. He uses the Might powerset with Ninjas(Immortals) for henchmen.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Courtnall6/nx.jpg)
Deadbang nemesis...Bloodshot! One of the surviving members of Deadbang's elite hit squad for Viper. He uses munitions and soldiers for henchmen.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Courtnall6/bs.jpg)
Red Sovereign nemesis...The Supreme Soviet! He was the original "Red Sovereign" until he went mad. A Superman archtype that uses robots to do his bidding.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Courtnall6/ss.jpg)
Wild Wave nemesis...Lord Nalya! Former royal advisor of Lemuria banished for delving too deep into the dark arts. Darkness powerset with lizardmen henchmen.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Courtnall6/ln.jpg)
Wow diggin` all of them, but that Lemurian is just hardcase all around! Good job mate.
Well, due to the fact I'm an alt-o-holic (I have one lvl 40, and bought a set of extra character slots and only have one free at the moment), I only have one hero high level enough to even have any Nemesis. My next two highest heroes are close, though. (Both lvl 22)
I give you Midnight Crusader's Nemesis, in order:
Nemesis #1: Lady Black: Gadgeteering Maniac with Military Weapons Soldiers. The only Nemesis whose costume was pre-designed. I almost used it for a Sorcery heroine I was thinking about making but decided not to, instead of for a Nemesis. (Removed her cape when I decided to make her a Nemesis instead, but that's the only change I made)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/LadyBlack.jpg)
Nemesis #2: Doctor Braincus: Might Mastermind with Martial Arts Robots. How Doctor Braincus ended up a human brain in that body (and its actually a robotic body disguised as a zombie's in order to fool - and scare - people) is unknown, but he's pure evil.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Braincus.jpg)
Nemesis #3: Choppin' Broccoli: Single Blades Mastermind with Martial Arts Lizardmen. Broccoli is actually Midnight Crusader's sister, but she isn't aware MC is her brother. She was badly injured (though the injuries weren't life threatening) in an auto accident and unfortunately ingested radioactive broccoli while in the hospital that changed her appearance and twisted her mind. (I'm considering recreating her as a hero eventually, the explanation being that her mind was cured)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Broccoli.jpg)
Nemesis #4 (current): Professor Mechanus: Power Armor Savage with Military Weapons Thugs. Professor Mechanus was an inventor designing weapons for an unnamed nation's military, and made the mistake of testing out a suit of armor he had invented himself. Unfortunately, something was wrong with the cybernetic linkage system in the armor's helmet and it not only drained some of his intellect, but drove him mad. He actually believes he is a robot, not a human being wearing armor.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/ProfessorMechanus.jpg)
And Choppin' Broccoli is named after one of my favorite Dana Carvey SNL sketches, though I understand he also does the bit as part of his stand-up act.
Braincus is awesome, its a very effective design. Might can be a real pain in deathray demolition.
There is nothing more disturbing than a weird, Ziggy Stardust-esque, transgender, steroid fueled monstrosity named "Sweetness."

Wouldn`t want to run into him in the dark, I can tell u that :D

That is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen....I wish I could un-see it.
Thank you?

Thank you?
If you were channelling The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you succeeded.
Pretty much. :)
Well, here's Valandar's original Nemmy, Chronolord! Inspired by Timemaster, of all people...
(http://artzone.daz3d.com/azfiles/gallery/o9/ep/gnt24zyejodztei44tturyto2zqyuf-full.jpg)
I gave those art deco peices to one of my characters. They are pretty cool.
Black Dragon got himself a fourth nemesis
Psi Lass former member of the PSI now leader of the PSI-dogs, telekinesis, psionic pirates for henchmen
(http://d.imagehost.org/0192/Psi_Lass.jpg) (http://d.imagehost.org/view/0192/Psi_Lass)
Mister Green, my first character, is still trying to capture Professor Plum.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/billlukash/PP.jpg)
I've only created one nemesis so far, since I am sooo slow at leveling.
The Corpse's arch foe, Witch Girl:
(http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/9236/witchgirl.jpg)
You can find out more about here here:

Speaking of nemeses, I can't finish my second mission. That one where you escort the fella. He just keeps on dying, and sometimes he's killed by level 40 cowboys or robots or something, instead of same level zombies. Gosh, it's so frustrating. I tried it again last night but quit after two times.
I haven't had that mission. I think what mission your recieve is random. Can you drop it and then get another?
You can drop it but after six hours you`ll get the same mission, so you`re pretty much stuck with it until completion.
Black Dragon is really fast with putting his villains behind bars, so I`ve got new ones to show :D
Leopold von Flockenstuffen, a German scientist obsessed with war and destruction as a phenomenon, gadgeteer, uses super strenght robots for henchmen
(http://j.imagehost.org/0906/Flockenstuffen.jpg) (http://j.imagehost.org/view/0906/Flockenstuffen)
Voodoo (current nemesis), sadistical necromancer and voodoo magic practicioner, darkness, uses darkness zombies for henchmen.
(http://j.imagehost.org/0921/Voodoo.jpg) (http://j.imagehost.org/view/0921/Voodoo)
I was thinking about doing a voodoo guy for Corpse. Yours turned out really swell though. I like the other fella too.
What happens when you put the nemesis away. Do you keep them in a stock rogue's gallery or do they disappear?
You keep them all in stock as a rouges gallery. After putting him away you get too choose either to make a new villain or reactivate any of the old ones, really cool actually.
Beware, Hundred Acre Bear!
"Johan" Cristopher Robin thinks you took way too long getting him free from the looney bin!
(http://artzone.daz3d.com/azfiles/gallery/63/fo/hfq78vnpsbzsvordcn4wnd38gfoqgr-full.jpg)
:D A telepathic maniac with psychic beastmen servants!
Awesome! :thumbup:
That is pretty cool, Val.
Vodoo looks pretty scary, bat.
Got 2 more, although they`re both jailbirds now.
Sewer King, leader of the lizard mutants who killed their creator and now terorize humans from the sewers, might, using might lizards as hencmen
(http://i.imagehost.org/0596/Sewer_King.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0596/Sewer_King)
Bloddy Mary, psychotic assassin using an unusual and unpredictable fighting style that makes her even more deadly, MA claws, using military weapons convicts for henchmen
(http://i.imagehost.org/0828/Bloody_Mary.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0828/Bloody_Mary)
And after putting all those nems behind bars I updated and reactivated Black Dragon`s original nemesis: Obakemono
(http://i.imagehost.org/0534/Obakemono_2.jpg) (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0534/Obakemono_2)
Just reached 25 today, will have my first nemesis up soon.
Midnight Crusader's latest Nemesis:
Red Ghoul - Fire Mastermind, with Super Strength Undead henchmen. Red Ghoul was an arsonist/serial killer (he only burned buildings that he was sure were occupied) who died in the fire of an apartment building he sat on fire rather than surrender to the police who had surrounded the building, but returned as an undead being with fire powers rather than going to Hell where he belonged.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/RedGhoul.jpg)
Cyberknight X's first Nemesis:
Dragon Queen - Dual Blades Mastermind, with Martial Arts Ninja henchmen. Dragon Queen is a nutcase who believes she is a decendant of the legendary Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi - even though she's not Japanese!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/DragonQueen.jpg)
Nice, I like Red Ghoul`s design, Midnight Crusader` rouges gallery is becoming very diverse, which is one of the things which I focus in when making nemesis for BD, so kudos for that :thumbup:
I really like Dragon Queen`s concept, loonies are always cool villains. Who wouldn`t want to be Musashi`s descendant :D
Yeah, they're looking cool. :D
It's soon coming up on the time for Crimson Guardian to get his first Nemmy. He's Might / Force with Flight, and pretty much a "Classic" style flying brick with energy blast. Should I give him a Mad Scientist type Nemmy, a la Luthor or Dr Sivana, or a 'dark counterpart' a la Bizarro or Black Adam?
I`m voting for the second option Val, because it makes the nemesis encounters much more epic.
It looks really cool when you have two might characters beating the hell out of each other.
Well, since you can have more than one you should obviously do both eventually. I would, personally, go for mad scientist first though. THEN he creates an evil clone as revenge for being sent to jail! GOSH! Also, the scientist is totally allowed to be A) an alien or B) a gorilla. Because that makes it just that much more awesome.
Right guys? Right?
Well, making a Gorilla mad scientist would be so TOTALLY ripping off Doctor Silverback, yannow.
Anyway, I decided on the Imperfect Duplicate.
On the left - Crimson Guardian. On the right - CRIMSONAC!!!
(http://artzone.daz3d.com/azfiles/gallery/k4/mk/7hwjbw0t83gsisxwoc7r7h4aws5jy6-full.jpg)
Wow, I like them both! A lot. Really like the colors on them. Good job mate.
Love it! Great job on Bizarro Crmisonac!
Sewer King is pretty neat looking, bat.
Phantom Avenger just hit 23 last night. I'm looking forward to making a Nemesis for him.
I was actually ripping off Gorilla Grodd. No wait, Ultra Humanite, since albino apes are always better. No wait! GRAPE APE! Yes, a giant purple super intelligent gorilla... that shoots lazers out of its eyes. Ultimate villain!!!
But your Bizarro rip looks pretty good too.
This is the first time I've seen Crimson Guardian. Gosh he's barrel chested.
Oh, and I forgot to talk about Sewer King. Awesome proportions. Where'd you get that alligator head? That's not a standard beast head right?

1 ) Crimson Guardian isn't QUITE as barrel chested as he appears - the bright yellow V shape exaggerates it a bit. :D
2 ) The gator head is a perk-based purchase in Mil City after you defeat 1000 Sovereign Sons by the way. :D

Tnx. Actually this is a head you get for defeating 5k sovereign sons, its bigger than the one you get for 1k.

There's a second one? I need to get curbstomping SovSons, then! Angry Beast needs a bigger head!
Very cool villains so far, in particular I'm fond of the Sewer King and the Voodoo one.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/Lugaru/CHAMPIONS%20ONLINE/screenshot_2010-04-16-07-21-29.jpg)
Borknagar, herald to Mother North (a future nemesis). He is accompanied by evil beast men with black magic.

Tnx. I really like Borknagar, looks spooky. Diggin` the whole hard-rock theme you have with vocalist!
Midnight Crusader's newest Nemesis:
Modern Day Warrior - Munitions Savage, with Military Weapons Thugs. No real background on the character. I got his name from one of the nicknames of Kerry Von Erich, a deceased pro wrestler (who I wasn't really a fan of). Created his look a long time ago, and actually thought about using it for a hero (who probably would have been Dual Blades).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/MDW.jpg)
Clint McBride's first Nemesis:
Johnny Utah, The Deadeye Kid - Archery Savage, with Military Weapons Cowboys. Johnny Utah is actually a time traveller from the year 1964 (don't ask me how someone from the sixties got hold of a time machine!), with an unhealthy fixation on cowboys. But he can't shoot a gun to save his life, which is why he uses a bow and arrows. His henchmen are actually cowboys from the 1800s that he's armed with modern weaponry. (His time machine has been destroyed, trapping him in 2010, so the only place he's going is prison!)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/JohnnyUtah.jpg)
(And yes, I got the name from the Keanu Reeves classic, Point Break. Almost named him Billy Yuma, but I may use that name for a different Nemesis instead.)
The Archnemesis(And the only so far) of my main character The Marine, here he is.. DOCTOR MECHANOTRON!
(http://i66.servimg.com/u/f66/13/36/78/10/doctor11.jpg)
The latest enemy of Crimson Guardian - Maestro Arcus!

Ahh! I love Golden Mask, Bat, very nice work!
I need to update this thread, because GhostMachine and Deadest Warrior have Nemeses, and Clint McBride and Cyberknight X have news ones. GhostMachine is about to get a new one soon, though, so I'll wait until after that.
Believe it or not, but Midnight Crusader still has Modern Day Warrior as his current Nemesis. Mainly because I don't run MC much any more (VB farming, lair runs and certain boss fights are about all I do with him), and I got the All That Glitters mission and sat on it for about 3 or 4 months, because I hate that mission. And to top it off, when I finally did it, it was lagtastic. I almost DCed about 4 or 5 different times while doing it!

Thanks Benton, he's a concept I had in mind for a very long time, but was on hold until I unlocked Aristocrat Jacket (thanks to GhosMachine who sent it my way).

Ugh tell me about it, by far the worst nemesis mission. Sadly it appears to be a frequent one, I had the mission on almost all of my nems. Its not only boring to play through, it rarely fits my nemesis concept (except for Voodoo for obvious reasons).
Okay, here are a few more Nemeses:
The Deadest Warrior:
Pyreus (Fire Maniac with Super Strength Infernals). Pyreus is a demon who was summoned by a cult....which was a big mistake, as they were unable to control him. Fortunately, a mystical hero who was passing by was able to limit Pyreus' powers by bonding him to one of the cult members.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Pyreus.jpg)
Cyberknight X:
Cybernaut (Power Armor Savage with Military Weapons Robots). Cybernaut's armor is actually a slightly modified prototype Cyberknight X armor that somehow fell into the wrong hands. The man who wears it is nothing but a thug and wouldn't be such a big deal without the armor.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Cybernaut.jpg)
Clint McBride:
Andromeda 9 (Telekinesis Maniac with Super Strength Lizardmen). Andromeda 9 is an android that was created as part of a super-secret government project. Unfortunately, of the 12 androids developed as part of the project, Andromeda 9 was the only one not deemed an abject failure (the others either wouldn't function at all, went completely berserk, suicided soon after activation, or were deemed mentally deficient). Even more unfortunately, she was also absolutely evil, but hid it well until she was able to escape. The lizardmen were part of another government project and she stole the device that controlled them before she fled herself.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Andromeda9.jpg)
I've got a few more I need to post, including GhostMachine's two Nemeses so far and Commander Arkinus' first, but I will wait and do that later.
*edit* For some reason in the picture Andromeda 9's legs look thicker than they actually are. Could be an optical illusion caused by the pads on the sides of her legs.
