Nemesis Kid

A villain with a name that says it all, Nemesis Kid made his catalog debut in Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #327 in 1985, brought to life by the legendary Bronze Age team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen. His four appearances place him in rarefied company — sharing pages with the likes of Val Armorr, Imra Ardeen, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lord — and his inclusion in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe signals that DC considered him worth immortalizing in comics' most ambitious reference work. A compact but intriguing footnote in the Legion's sprawling mythology, he's exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Bronze Age DC such a rewarding adventure.
