History

An alchemist on the planet Myar in the 30th century, Hart Druiter gave himself the power to adapt any power needed to defeat an opponent. He used his talents to work as a mercenary and was hired by the Khunds to infiltrate the Legion of Super-Heroes but was demasked by new recruit Karate Kid. He later joined the Legion of Super-Villains, even leading the team during its most ambitious scheme that resulted in the death of Karate Kid. He was executed by Queen Projectra of Orando who snapped his neck with her bare hands and left his body to rot in the streets.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Power Domination: Nemesis Kid can develops just the right superhuman ability to defeat a single opponent at a time. As such if he were to face Princess Projectra he would be able to see through her illusions. Or if he were to face Supergirl he would outclass her strength.

Abilities

• Alchemy

Weaknesses

• Power Limitation: Nemesis Kid can only develop one ability per opponent, so if he were to fight multiple opponents his ability might teleport him away or not work at all.

Trivia

• Although advanced science and magic exist in the 30ths century, it is unknown which of these skills Hart used to create the potion that gives him his ability.
• Each ability that Hart develops is very basic in nature. He cannot adapt the ability to generate kryptonite for a Kryptonian but he can gain enough resistance to not be harmed by them.
