Nemesis first appeared
in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as the primary antagonist. The product of
years of research, the Umbrella Corporation deploys Nemesis to hunt and kill
all surviving members of Special Tactics and Rescue Service. The game’s
protagonist, Jill
Valentine, encounters Nemesis outside Raccoon City’s police station,
where it brutally murders Brad Vickers. Nemesis continues to stalk Valentine
throughout the game until she defeats it.
Nemesis is known for its inhuman strength, relentlessness, stamina, and high
intellect when compared to other monsters. Unlike the various Tyrant monsters
before it, Nemesis is capable of using weaponry and firearms. It is armed
with a rocket launcher that was specifically modified for Nemesis, and is too
heavy for a human to carry. Nemesis
is the most resilient B.O.W. the Umbrella Corporation ever created.
Nemesis' primary mission is to eliminate all S.T.A.R.S. members. It will
ignore all other potential targets when a S.T.A.R.S. member is nearby.
However, it will also eliminate anything that gets between it and its target,
or something that is a threat.

I have to admit,
Nemesis is the scariest Resident Evil monster I ever encountered in the series.
Playing RE3 for the first time (in 1999), I believe I was upstairs in the
police station, and when Nemesis busted through the wall without warning... I
freakin' jumped out of my chair! XD Honestly, no other video game monster ever gave me a scare like that since then. Nemesis is a scary mofo.
He's a pretty cool monster design when it comes down to it, and out of any Resident Evil monster
to cross over to the Capcom Versus series as a playable character, I think Nemesis deserves his spot on the roster. However, I really would've liked to see Nemesis VS
Juggernaut. That would be quite the match-up! *sigh* If only Capcom made the right choice and added Juggy to Ultimate MVC3. Anyhow, Nemesis
translated into a pretty solid fighting game character... but I do think his animations
& moveset could've been better in MVC3. For one, I think it looks really odd when he
turns around so quickly (when he walks backwards)... it just looks silly. Overall though, he's an entertaining part of MVC3's roster.
