Nemesis I was a Captain Universe foe, II was a foe of the Falcon, IV was Holocaust, V was the gestalt of the Infinity Gems.

Nemesis was a reoccuring figure throughout the first and third volumes of Alpha Flight up until her death. The Marvel Handbooks would later retroactively decide that Nemesis was three different women serving as host for the Onyx Blade's divine power over the years, a statement later supported in-universe during Alpha Flight (4th series) #4. The different hosts would be Isobel St. Ives (Alpha Flight #7-31), Jane Thorne (#76-130), and Amelia Weatherly (Alpha Flight (3rd series) #1-12). Heather MacNeil Hudson became another wielder of the blade in Alpha Flight (4th series) #1-5, different from the others in that she was still alive while trying to wield the blade, rather than a returning revenant.
