Isabel's surname, on the other hand, isn't coincidental. But then, I think everyone knew that already.

So a logical question is, what happened to Nemesis II to cause Nemesis III to exist? Is she is no longer in the land of the living?

Actually, I am more interested in whether ANY of the Nemesis's (Nemeses? Nemeseses?)are considered to be in the land of the living. I've always viewed the character as some sort of avatar of death itself, herself caught between living and dead and therefore able to impart that same state to others (or usher them into death, if necessary). Like maybe her sword sucks the life from her, and when she is no longer usable to it, it discards her and finds another (now i am lost in memories of Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone!)? Just my thoughts.

The correct plural is actually Nemeses, not Nemesii (total pluralization fail on my part). I also like Nemeseses, by the way.

We'll have to add that to the Official Alpha Flight Plurality Pronounciation Encyclopedia, eh?

Basically said it was the same Nemesis that appeared in Vol.1 and Vol.3

I prefer the three different hosts idea, rather then just one Nemesis.

Marvel really should have a continuity editor who slaps writers down when they get silly. The original Nemesis concept worked, because it ran alongside the Deadly Ernest concept. Nemesis 2 was lazy writing and as for Nemesis 3. To my mind she doesn't exist and was the product of a deranged mind. I'm looking at you Mr Lobdell

I'm looking at you Mr Lobdell

So, he's in London, then?

Do you have him tied up in your flat somewhere?

That will help with the 'slap him down' idea... do they have to be silly writers for that?

Del - I agree, the idea that these were each the same woman never worked for me. 1 and 2 I could buy at a stretch, but 3 was so completely different, no. Just no.

I cannot comment on the accommodation arrangement Mr Lobdell and I may have (if we have one at all), but I can divulge that Alpha Flight shall stay in safe hands for the forseeable (sp) future.

[Phil]

That's cool.
I agree it makes more sense that way.
I just can't afford the HC's so rely on picking up the single issues when AF related characters appear in them.

3 people who were Nemesis makes the most sense, maybe the next incarnation will be longer lasting and someone we already know.

No, seriously.
