Just a quick question about Nemesis and the Infinity Gauntlet, particularly when he is able to use the Soul Gem.

Nemesis' trait: LIFE ENERGY DRAIN: Each time an opposing character takes damage from an attack by Nemesis or Nemesis's Poison, Nemesis may heal 1 damage.

So if Nemesis has the Soul Gem attached to the Gauntlet and may use its effects, or even if he just picked up the Soul Gem...

If he made a close combat attack, using the SG's Steal Energy, he would deal damage (theoretically) and heal 1 using SE, then heal an additional 1 from his trait?

Also, if he KO'd that character, would he heal 1 from SE, 1 from Trait, 2 from the SG KO?

Thinking about using this combo and just wanted to be sure. Also, normally, does the Soul Gem allow a character to heal 3 clicks total in one attack where he A) deals damage and B) KO's that character?

1st due to his trait;

LIFE ENERGY DRAIN: Each time an opposing character takes damage from an attack by Nemesis or Nemesis's Poison, Nemesis may heal 1 damage.

Everytime his opponents take damage, he heals 1.

If you have the Guantlet with the soul gem attatched, when in close combat and ko's an opposing figure he would heal 3 clicks, 2 for gem 1 for steal energy granted by the gem and 1 aditional click due to an opponent taking damage. So a total of 4 clicks!!!

Also keep in mind that he would heal a click for every opposing character that would take damage via a close or range attack from Nemesis with the Bionuclear Attack power.

Just keep an eye for people playing Sabretooth and shutting you down.

That is all correct.

whoa awesome!

I've already played Nemesis with an Infinity Gauntlet that had both The Soul Gem & The Power Gem. Basically you want to get as close to the opposing team as possible so they can't escape Nemesis's

CRACKED CONTAINMENT UNIT: Nemesis can use Pulse Wave. If he does, he doesn't halve his range value, and his damage value becomes his printed damage value and is locked.

Which will net you just a CRAZY amount of healing if Nemesis K.O.s anyone with it.

Then next turn BAM finish off the opposing team with

BIO NUCLEAR BLAST: Give Nemesis a power action. Draw a straight horizontal or vertical line of fire to any single square within Nemesis's range and line of fire, ignoring other characters for line of fire purposes. Make an attack roll as though making a ranged combat attack, and compare the result to each character occupying a square along that line of fire, or a square adjacent to that line of fire but still within his range. Each character hit is dealt 3 damage.

Remember any damage taken from Colossal Stamina will be off set by Nemesis's trait

Thanks everybody for the replies! I'm really considering this plus 80 points of support to go with him whenever we play a 500+ event.

I was also going to play him with the Power Gem too. His major problem is Outwit, of course, that's all I'm worried about, but if he gets to Godhood, that's no longer a factor.

I already ran him with the Gauntlet when we did Heroes vs Villains game about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was pretty nasty getting to heal 4 clix on a close combat KO with the Soul Gem in effect.
