Nemesis (Alpha Flight)
Nemesis is the name of several superheroines appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first incarnation of Nemesis, Isabel St. Ives, first appeared in Alpha Flight #8 (March 1984). The second incarnation, Jane Thorne, debuted in Alpha Flight #76 (November 1989). The third incarnation, Amelia Weatherly, made her first appearance in Alpha Flight vol. 3 #1 (May 2004). The fourth incarnation, Heather Hudson, made her debut as Nemesis in Alpha Flight vol 5. #1 (August 2023).
All four women have encountered the superhero team Alpha Flight team, and wore the same black and red costume, carried a mystical sword, and were capable of flight.
Nemesis (Isabel St. Ives) first appeared in Alpha Flight #8, and was created by John Byrne.
Isabel St. Ives was the daughter of "Deadly" Ernest St. Ives, and used a magical sword "scarcely an atom's width thick," allegedly the only weapon capable of killing her father, to assist the Canadian superheroes Northstar and Aurora in combat with him. Although she apparently killed Deadly Ernest, he did return. There, the Flight member Puck used Nemesis's sword to fatally wound her father, who was then knocked in front of an oncoming subway train and apparently killed. Nemesis then explained to the heroes her relation to the villain and disintegrated.
The second Nemesis, Jane Thorne, first appeared in Alpha Flight #76 and was created by writer James Hudnall.
Jane Thorne wore a costume identical to the first Nemesis, and used the original's sword and, on occasion, had used a teleportation device. Nothing about her past has been revealed, save that she once led a cult called the "Children of the Night".[volume and issue needed]
The second Nemesis was introduced as a member of Canada's new government sanctioned team, Gamma Flight,[volume and issue needed] and remained a member until the team was disbanded,[volume and issue needed] at which point she fled to keep her teammate Wild Child from being placed in government custody.[volume and issue needed] After Alpha Flight was reinstated, Wild Child, now a full member of Alpha Flight, rescued her from Rok, the new leader of the Children of the Night.[volume and issue needed] She accompanied him to the Alpha Flight headquarters and became a member of Alpha Flight.[volume and issue needed]
The third Nemesis to be introduced was born in the early 19th century under the name Amelia Weatherly. She became the mistress of Centennial. She was killed under unknown circumstances involving a building burning down and was buried in a shallow grave. Although Centennial never found her body, he had a proper funeral for "the one thing he ever loved".[volume and issue needed]
