Nemesis, unlike Mr. X, is something of an experiment. Mr. X is a T-103 model Tyrant, meaning he has several clones. Resident Evil 3‘s Nemesis, though one of many Nemesis-T Types, is the only one of its kind known to have seen combat. Think of it as Mr. X on parasitic steroids. Gross, right?
The Umbrella Corporation developed these monsters alongside the devastating T-virus, intending to use the mutants as bioweapons. They have the ability to follow complex orders, making them less zombie-like. They have a surprisingly sharp intelligence and are frighteningly determined to carry out their missions.
The Nemesis that Jill Valentine faces down in the Resident Evil 3 remake has been ordered to destroy any and all S.T.A.R.S. officers to keep Umbrella’s involvement with Raccoon City’s zombification a secret. While Nemesis might destroy some poor souls in the way of his dogged pursuit of Jill, she’s his primary target. Therefore, players should expect to see a lot of Nemesis’ ugly mug during their playthrough of the short, but sweet Resident Evil 3 Remake. The game was originally named after the Tyrant, after all.
