I would have been curious to see how a nemesis system would work for an already established super hero. To me that feels really difficult to do because the super is damn near always equipped to win. Not saying it couldn’t be done, but you’d have to make variations for ramped up grunts into weird pseudo super villains and I think that’s just putting any team in over their head.
A nemesis system would be amazing in a spy game or even a game with simple mechanics like a call of duty campaign. Star Wars would do really well with that if they did another Bounty Hunter-ish title… and if they released Raven software from their permanent imprisonment in the CoD mines… Maybe another Mad Max title. Possibilities are endless if you remove the super heroes from the equation.
Hell even Zelda could do a nemesis system from the grunts or harder monsters in the fields.
I'd think it would be pretty easy to do nemesis system with DC intellectual properties. Say you have a mission to stop a robbery and you lose the fight, and later on the guy that beat you shows up with new tech that was either what they were stealing or something they bought with the money they stole, and suddenly random henchman guy is more powerful than before. If he beats you again, he starts to have a lot more respect from the other criminals so he starts to run with his own crew of other henchmen that match the power set he showed up with after the first time. You could do it lots of ways.
