The Resident Evil series continues to be one of the haunts of horror game lovers. In this article, “Who is Nemesis?” We will answer the question.
When Capcom released the third game of one of its popular series, Resident Evil, we saw a scary creature in the cover photo. Her name was Nemesis! In literature, revenge meant justice, balance and deserved punishment. However, the subject of this article has only one answer for Resident Evil; Biological Weapon! In this content, the Resident Evil games Who is Nemesis? We will answer the question.

Who is the Nemesis in Resident Evil Games?
It was 1999 when we first saw him. She had a stitch coming from the center of her head, covering her right eye. Almost as if her entire face was deformed, she was missing her lips, showing her sharp fangs that threatened her blood-colored palate. This was the first appearance of Nemesis in the gaming industry. In the sequels, remakes, and even on the big screen, the design has changed a little over the years.
For example, this is Nemesis! in Resident Evil The Umbrella Chronicles, released in 2007.
Who is Resident Evil Nemesis?
This is Nemesis in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 game released in 2011. As you can see, he is dispensing judgment with a bazooka in his hand.
Who is Resident Evil Nemesis?
Although there is not much difference in terms of design, the main issue with Nemesis is its weight in the series. Because when we look at Nemesis in the cinema industry, we can even see that he is doing karate this time**
So, who is Nemesis, a gigantic creature that we hear only one word coming out of its mouth, with a height of more than 2 meters? Let’s take a closer look..
This article contains general SPOILER information about the Resident Evil series.
Before the Raccoon City Events
Undoubtedly, one of the first things that come to mind when it comes to Resident Evil is the types of viruses we see in the series.
With the most known;
- Tyrant.. aka T Virus
- Golgotha.. aka G Virus,
- Chrysalid.. aka C virus
- T Veronica Virus
- Uroborus etc. is an example of the virus species mentioned.
But despite having such different types, all viruses actually descend from a single ancestor. As a matter of fact, the name of this virus is already Ata virus. Progenitor!
Discovered in the most remote part of West Africa, this virus begins to be developed for years, under the umbrella of a pharmaceutical company called Umbrella and, of course, behind closed doors in quotation marks. The reason why the virus has been used for so many years is not for the good of people, of course.
The ultimate goal of the Umbrella company is to design intelligent monsters, or war machines, with superhuman strength as a result of its horrific experiments on the virus. We can even classify it as a kind of biological weapons.
They want to put their biological weapons on sale in international markets and get rich as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t take long for them to reach results in their efforts. They now have a power that can start and end wars, overthrow states and overthrow governments. Because viruses developed in laboratory environments have replaced lead!
Who is Resident Evil Nemesis?
Umbrella, which does not hesitate to do all kinds of research on such sensitive notions, will eventually pay the price for the terrible deeds it has done so far. The events that take place in the Umbrella facilities in the Arklay mountains, which we first saw in the Resident Evil Zero game, show up. The closest witness to what happened is the Bravo team, including Rebecca Chambers. The place where the second events broke out is the Spencer mansion, owned by Oswald Spence, one of the founding partners of Umbrella. The team here is the Alpha team, which includes Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker, Jill Valentine and Brad Vickers, who came in search of the Bravo team that could not be heard.
Both teams belong to the STARS group, which is part of the Raccoon Police Department. The STARS group is a special division of elite soldiers that can operate independently of the Raccoon police department. So each of these people is a member of STARS at some point.
In short, the Umbrella company, in a rough way, screwed things up, whether they were responsible or not. Moreover, all these experiences are only a small part of what will happen next. Because the T virus has reached an unstoppable size, it started a big epidemic in the city of Raccoon. Moreover, there are several STARS members who know that Umbrella had a hand in all this. These are Jill Valentine and Brad Vickers in the Alpha team. Umbrella must immediately silence these two names at all costs.

Original Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (1999)
This is why Nemesis chases Jill Valentine throughout the game and never stops. Before the story begins in the original Resident Evil 3 game, a short explanation is given about the topics I just explained. Then, with a big explosion, our girl shows herself and the story begins. It takes a little while before you see Nemesis in this game. In fact, until he meets himself, his sense of curiosity rises.
Because before we see Brad Vickers was very scared and ran away nonstop. Before we know what’s going on, we enter the Raccoon police department, or RPD for short. Finally, Nemesis reveals itself…
Resident Evil 3 Remake Nemesis (2020)
In the Resident Evil 3 Remake game, which will meet with game lovers again in 2020, our brother Nemesis shows itself as soon as the story begins. Of course, we can’t see his face at first. It is almost like a nylon covering his entire body.
(it’s not a joke, it looks like the costume was wrapped in a garbage bag)
There is no mystery or expectation as in the original game of 99. During a phone call with him instead of seeing Brad Vickers, he suddenly appears and a war that lasts almost to the finale again ensues. On the other hand, it was not Nemesis who killed Brad. Brad’s death is because of the sacrifice he made for Jill, because he was infected.
In fact, speaking of Brad, let me explain; There is a reference to the second game in Resident Evil 3 game. In one part of the game, Carlos Oliveira goes to the Raccoon police department. Here we see that Brad is infected and bites Marvin, whom we know from the previous game.

Just like in the original game, the Remake version of Nemesis chases Jill until the end of the story. But while the form changes in the original game were only superficial, in the Remake version they represent the peak. We can even see the character standing on all fours, jumping from wall to wall.
As a matter of fact, this adds more action, rather than just Nemesis’ weight and making the player paranoid due to its sudden appearance. However, speaking as someone who plays this game from the core, I can’t help but say that they shamed Nemesis.
Nemesis… trained sheepdog… not sure!
Powers of Nemesis
So, what are the powers of this creature, which is such a stubborn and war robot that is programmed to destroy?
For example, can he defeat Mr.X, one of the bosses of the previous game?
Unless there is an extreme situation, I can say with a slang expression;
Nemesis is definitely one-shot, dear friends. Because there is quite a bit of difference between Nemesis and Mr.X.
First of all, there are reasons such as Nemesis’ human-level intelligence and ability to think rationally. For example, the ability to use weapons is one of the best examples of this subject. Especially in the Remake version, he even used a bazooka and even a flamethrower.
When we look at it in terms of durability, we can show a scene from Resident Evil 3 Remake as an example. At the very beginning of the game, a rocket launcher fired by Carlos knocks Nemesis down, but does not kill him. In Resident Evil 2, a similar weapon was cut in half when thrown at Mr.X. Then, Nemesis constantly mutates, especially as it mutates more and more as it takes damage.
Nemesis was first infected with a very potent variant of the T virus, and later designed as a weapon to carry out any specific orders. The thing in his body acts as a second brain that controls his entire nervous system. According to other biological weapons designed by Umbrella, Nemesis can be controlled remotely and can even take images for Umbrella. However, most of the biological weapons mentioned, including Mr. X, do not have such features.
Resident Evil Nemesis Who Really?
You know, there are stereotypes in popular culture that most mutated characters are an ordinary person in their past. So behind these killer masks lie the images of innocent people.
For Resident Evil, we can give this topic a creature called ‘G’, one of the other bosses of the second game. The character is actually a scientist named William Birkin. While the question of innocence is out of the question for Birkin, he was once a human after all. However, if the subject of our video is Nemesis, there is not much information about the background of the character.. or at least it is more correct to say that it is not found in games because there is a background for Nemesis in Resident Evil movies, even partially!
Who is Resident Evil Nemesis?
According to the Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie, Nemesis is a man named Matt Addison. It was infected by a licker and quickly recruited into the Nemesis program. Afterwards, he entered into a fierce struggle with Alice, the leading role of the movie. I don’t know if it will interest you, but let’s say that Matthew G. Taylor plays the character of Nemesis in this movie and let’s finish our article slowly.
Final
Although we see that he died in the third game, I think it would not be a wrong definition to say that Nemesis is a very popular character in the game world. As a matter of fact, he showed himself a few times in the sequels of the series and even became a guest character in different productions.
Marvel vs. I showed at the beginning of the article. Being a playable character in games like Capcom and Dead by Daylight is an example of this.
Dear friends, you have read the story of Nemesis, which means revenge and divine punishment in Greek mythology. I hope you like. You can specify in the comments which character you want the next Resident Evil Boss article to be about.
STAAAAAARRRRSSS!!
