Was Nemesis a collaboration? Did one Dev play a huge role in the creation of his backstory? Kudos to them! I'd just like to know who weaved together such a wonderful villain. Was it all Manticore? Did Jack have his 'vision' with this one? Anyone know? |

Not sure, but that would be a good question to ask Manticore.|

From what I understand the universe was a collaborative effort though I'm sure different people worked more on different things.
I'm sure Nemesis was probably part of the original story bible, since he's mentioned in the history going back fairly far. He's most likely been a collaborative effort in regards to his nuances and plots.

Statesman is actually a long-running PnP character of Jack Emmert.
Positron is actually a PnP character, not sure if it's a creation of Jack or Matt Miller.

A thing I like about Statesman is the way they've developed the idea that he exists in so many universes - and with Imperious, it seems he exists in different times too, not just alternative versions of our present time.

So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

As far as I know it, Rick Dakan (who left development before the game launched) wrote the original story bible, most likely collaborating with Jack Emmert.

Nemisis plots are not a part of the Paragon City universe... the Paragon City universe is part of a Nemisis plot.

Everyone knows that Victor Von Nemesis had a lab accident while at Doomstadt University, that forced him to live in a steam-powered armored enclosure. His negligent lab partner, Heath Horizon, was not punished by the university thanks to some sizable hush money, and the fact that Victor had always been a bit of a tool.|

Anyway, now Lord Nemesis spends most of his time trying to conquer the world, or trying to launch the accursed Doctor Horizon's science building, the Beanstalk, into space.
'nuff said.
(On a more serious note, I think the creators of Lord Nemesis are Jack Kirby and Stan Lee... seriously. Armored European madman genius with robotic duplicates? Really? )
