Nemesis (Comics)Nemesis is also the alias of the villain Holocaust
Nemesis is the name of a character from Alpha Flight. Nemesis first appeared in Alpha Flight #7 and was created by John Byrne History Text courtesy of AlphaFlight.Net When Alpha Flight's members, Northstar and Aurora came across the villainous Deadly Ernest (Ernest St Ives), they were assisted by the mysterious being who called herself Nemesis. When together they defeated St Ives, Northstar unmasked Nemesis, thinking she was Danielle Belmonde, the daughter of an old friend of his. The face under the mask however was engraved with the anguish of the world, with terrible lifeless eyes. When the threat of Deadly Ernest returned, so did the enigmatic Nemesis. In a battle involving all of Alpha Flight, St Ives used his "Death Touch" on Northstar, Aurora, Box and Madison Jeffries. Nemesis gave up her sword to Puck, so that she could mystically use the life forces of others who had fallen victim to Ernest to keep them from death. When Puck used the Soul Sword to slay Ernest, it recaptured the life forces he had stolen. Nemesis was then able to restore the lives of those fallen in the battle. Once St Ives was defeated, Nemesis stated that her task was complete, and as she apparently withered to dust, said she was the daughter of St Ives. Alpha Flight thought this was the end of Nemesis, not being aware of her ability to teleport. Much later Nemesis emerged again, this time leading a group of super powered beings called Gamma Flight, which was a government sanctioned force, intended to replace Alpha Flight. After a few scuffles, the two teams were forced to work side by side, and eventually Gamma Flight was disbanded. Several members of Gamma joined with Alpha, however Nemesis did not, but rather vanished again, with Wild Child, in a cloud of dust. When Weapon Omega was seeking information on his identity, he sough out Nemesis, who had helped him in his transformation from Wild Child. She had been leading a band of sewer children called The Children of the Night. When Omega arrived he found a mutual enemy of his and Nemesis, Roc, had captured Nemesis, and taken control of The Children of the Night. With Assistance from Alpha Flight, Roc was defeated, and Nemesis joined forces with them until the team later disbanded. Since that time, Alpha Flight has reformed, however Nemesis had no involvement until the core Alpha Flight members were captured by the alien race, The Plodex. In recruiting members for a strike force to save his teammates, Walter Langkowski's eye turned to Nemesis. Cashing in the last of his official government favors, Langkowski had Nemesis brought to an old Department H lab. There he injected her with nano-technology, and attached a device to her spine. He was using these means to control the otherwise erratic and potentially dangerous Nemesis. Should she attempt to harm an innocent, or dislodge the device, she would be flooded with neo-floxins that would be capable of permanently severing her connection to the Soul Sword. Since it is the sword that gives the otherwise dead Nemesis life, this could prove to be fatal. Nemesis seems to have been an adult in Chicago during the Prohibition. It is no known how long she had been alive prior to this era. During this time she had a romantic envolvement with Rutherford Princeton, later to become Centennial, her Alpha Flight teammate.
