Biography
James Nicola Bradley was born to Nicola Bradley and Catherine Price in San Francisco on the morning of December 1st, 1906. His father, Nicola, had died months earlier in a robotics experiment gone horribly wrong, while his mother died giving birth. Since that day, he was raised by his maternal grandparents, John and Mary Price. It was discovered early on that he possessed an abnormally advanced intellect, but at the time, no one quite knew /how/ advanced. Unwilling to waste his self-described, 'enormous aptitude for greatness,' Bradley went on to study nearly every field of research from astrophysics to zoology. At some point after graduating from medical school, James was recruited by Phineas Horton to assist him in creating an advanced android that would go on to be the first Human Torch. Eventually, the two parted ways, but Bradley took a prototype they had been working on together when they seperated. In attempt to garner further fame, Bradley finished the android and dubbed it Volton before loosing it on the world to fight crime.
With his early life's work finished, James moved on to find work at Mercy Hospital in New York City where he would spend the daylight hours as Doctor Bradley. At night, however, he donned a surgical mask and became… Doctor Nemesis, fighting crime wherever he found it. It wasn't until he fought the Surgeon, a criminal who released plague-ridden rats into the streets that he once again grew disillusioned with his purpose. It was, at this low, vulnerable time in his life that he was recruited by Nazi Germany to keep the United States out of World War II. For a time, his efforts were successful as Doctor Death, but after one particularly brutal fight, he was betrayed by the same android he had created years earlier, Volton. Left for dead, Bradley struggled to safety and managed to nurse himself back to life.
Horrified at who he had become, James Bradley returned to his civilian life and took up the mantle of Doctor Nemesis once again. It was at this point he rebuilt his eyes with cybernetics and invented the serum for long-lasting life that would sustain him for the coming decades. For sixty years, Doctor Nemesis would become the nightmare that stalked many escaped Nazi commanders and scientists, killing them and destroying their work whenever he caught up to them. It was only recently that he finally managed to end the life of the final man on his list. Emerging from a lifetime of constant warfare and battle, Doctor Nemesis sets his sights to return home to America and see what the next portion of his immortal life has in store for him.

Character Details
If you can get past the acerbic wit, sarcastic comments, and nearly impenetrable ego, Doctor Nemesis is, surprisingly a good individual. He may not, necessarily, be considered /nice/ by any stretch of the imagination, at least not on the surface, but Doctor James Bradley has committed himself to the side of justice and equality with the same devotion he affords every one of his many pursuits.
Self-evolved Intellect |
Doctor Nemesis' one and only power, despite what some others believe, is what he describes as a 'self-evolved intellect.' While his IQ is either a closely guarded secret, or has never been tested, there is no doubt that Nemesis is a genius on par with some of the planet's most accomplished intellectuals. With this, he's become a self-taught polymath in a variety of fields, such as genetics, computer programming, handheld weaponry, temporal physics, interdimensional travel, and more. |
Cybernetic Eyes |
Using his gift for all things scientific, Bradley created for himself a pair of cybernetic replacement eyes. Though they aren't weaponized, they come loaded with a suite of sensors and enhancements that boost Doctor Nemesis' observational skills to a level far above average. Along with several other abilities, and the possibility for customization, they come pre-loaded with genetic abnormality detection, 'X-ray vision,' and hyper optics allowing him to locate and isolate clones, mutants, and others, see beneath skin tissue to the bones, muscles, and organs beneath, and see into the ultraviolet spectrum all with a maximum distance of two hundred meters. |
Athleticism |
A truly evolved being must be well-rounded, a sentiment James Bradley considers truer than most. To that end he's spent nearly as much time training his body as his mind — and he's had a lot of time for both. True, he may not exactly be in 'peak' physical condition, but he has still kept himself in well enough shape to do battle with a host of potential enemies. |
Close Combat Training |
Though the smart combatant tries to keep himself out of the thick of it (at least in Bradley's point of view), Doctor Nemesis recognizes that the time may come when an intellectual may need to defend himself in close combat. With that in mind, Doctor Nemesis is well trained in hand to hand combat, and in fact, took extensive time out of his schedule to master World War II Combatives, the Shanghai method, and even a bit of Sambo during the second World War. Though his knowledge is a bit antiquated at this point, it is still highly effective. |
Marksmanship |
Preferring to use his advanced weaponry rather than risking a fight in hand to hand combat, Doctor Nemesis has trained extensively to improve his marksmanship to professional levels. Capable of firing a hypodermic needle from a modified sniper rifle to hit a target several hundred meters away (with favorable wind), Bradley is hardly a slouch when it comes to ranged warfare. |
Immortality |
By utilizing his advanced knowledge in the fields of biology and eugenics manipulation, Doctor Nemesis has managed to synthesize a serum for 'advanced-longevity,' essentially rendering him immortal — though not invincible. One side-effect of the treatment is an immunity to disease and a seemingly endless supply of energy that renders him resistant to 'tiredness.' |
Biomolecular Alteration |
After extensive work in the field of eugenics manipulation, Bradley has managed to develop a precise way to manipulate the DNA of a living organism with a well placed injection. In theory, he could alter the structure of the DNA in anyone he sees fit, however his current method seems to react rather negatively in humans, and thus, he limits its use to animals. That said, he's capable of growing an animal to monsterous proportions, often times giving them practical, but wierd mutations including enhanced strength. The method also 'resets' the imprinting process and enhances the animal's intelligence fractionally, allowing him to gain its loyalty and obedience. |
Weaponry |
Through the years, Nemesis has developed a vast assortment of weaponry. Though a large majority of his arsenal is ranged, much of it stretches the definition of the word 'gun' to its limits. For instance, one of his most infamous designs is a hypodermic needle gun that fires armor-piercing syringes with an accuracy rivaling the most advanced of modern weaponry. He also boasts an assortment of plasma and energy weapons such as a single-use energy 'pen' that packs enough of a punch to vaporize a medium sized object of nearly any composition. It also writes underwater. |
Chemical Compounds |
Doctor Nemesis never leaves the lab without a veritable hoard of hypodermic needles loaded up with a large array of various 'science narcotics,' such as super-sedatives which can knock out a rampaging, genetically modified elephant in a matter of seconds with a single shot, fast-acting liquification viruses, concentrated truth serums, and more. |
Gear |
Usually, Nemesis prefers to spend his time in the lab, but when he does need to go out in the field, Bradley has created for himself a wide array of gadgets and gear to enable him to better complete his mission, whatever it may be. While this includes such things as corrosive spray, miniature explosives, limited-use hover equipment, and stealth technologies, it also extends to a suit of high-tech armor. Modular in nature, the armor comes in two forms — a bulky suit capable of withstanding even a small, localized explosion and a host of other dangers including extreme temperature, electricity, and aerosal attacks, and a lighter, more inconspicous, version disguised as a tailored, white suit. The latter, while allowing for more range of movement, is only capable of protecting the wearer from limited small-arms fire as well as being completely fire proof. |
Nazis |
Sure, Nazis may be rarer than they once were, but somewhere out there, they still exist in force. Unfortunately for Doctor Nemesis, he devoted much of his life after World War II to hunting down and killing their brothers and sisters in arms. This hasn't exactly endeared him to those who survived. |
Dark Past |
Before there was a Doctor Nemesis — and also after there was a Doctor Nemesis — there was a Doctor Death. For much of World War II, Bradley actually fought on the side of the Nazis. Sure, he didn't really buy into their doctrine, but he still assisted Nazi Germany in the effort to keep America out of the war. It's a bit hush hush, now, but no doubt, someone with time and dedication could discover James' dark past and cause him no end of trouble. |
Arrogance |
While arrogance never seems to help in social situations, Nemesis' ego takes it to a whole new level. Bradley will, more often than not, stride head-long into a battle he can't win simply because he fails to recognize that there's /ever/ a chance he could lose. It's gotten him into his fair share of scrapes, and one of these days, his friends might not make it in time to save him. |
