History: Dr. Anatol Mykros genetically engineered his daughter Soseh to become the perfect assassin. He grew her to adulthood in a virtual-birthing chamber, alongside her sister Ellina. Soseh turned against her father and his organization, the Council. She took the identity of Nemesis and vowed to destroy both her father and his work.

(JSA: Our Worlds at War #1) - During the Imperiex War Nemesis was called in as a JSA reserve on a mission to disrupt Imperiex’s link to his ship’s power supply. The JSA not only cut off Imperiex from his power, but they managed to blow up his ship as well.

(JSA #49-51) - Nemesis was called in as a JSA reservist to battle Obsidian, who’d possessed hundreds of people in L.A. and made them into an army of shadow-soldiers. Obsidian was defeated when Green Lantern Alan Scott stripped him of his powers. Nemesis aided the JSA in defeating Mordru.

(JSA #53) - Nemesis broke into the Ithaca hq of the Council, intending to directly confront her father. She met Black Adam, who’d decimated the Ithaqua hq and killed her father. He assured her he’d destroyed the Council, and told her it was time for her to find a new purpose in life, inviting her to join his superteam.

(JSA #56) - Nemesis and the rest of Black Adam’s team arrived in Adam’s homeland of Kahndaq with the intention of reclaiming it for Adam. They freed the workers of a slave labor camp and slaughtered the soldiers guarding the camp. Nemesis had doubts about what they were doing, but she was silenced by her teammates, who were blindly following Adam’sorders. They went to Kahndaq’s capital of Shiruta and confronted dictator Asim Muhunnad. After Black Adam ordered Atom-Smasher to execute Muhunnad Adam proclaimed himself ruler of Kahndaq.

(JSA #57, Hawkman IV #24, JSA #58, JSA #65 (fb))- Nemesis and her teammates made Muhunnad’s palace their hq, and addressed the population of Kahndaq, who welcomed them as triumphant heroes. Nemesis spent her first night in the palace with Eclipso. The JSA came to Kahndaq to take Nemesis and their other former allies home, but Adam destroyed their plane, scattering the JSA across Kahndaq. Nemesis teamed with Eclipso and battled some of the JSAers, who were now considered invaders by the people of Kahndaq. Nemesis slashed open Hourman’s abdomen, forcing him to retreat to Timepoint to save himself from death. Nemesis continued fighting the JSA when the true Eclipso took control of Alex Montez and murdered her.
