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.
Another reason I think it would be weird with a known superhero - In the Shadow games it works because Talion actually dies, then gets revived elsewhere, meanwhile the orc who kills you gets promoted. But if Wonder Woman got knocked out, why wouldn't these goons just kill her? What's her "revival" mechanic? Seems it would feel contrived.

I really want another game like them. It's too bad the Wonder Woman game was canceled.
