History YMMV / NemesisTheWarlock

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Face it: the theme of the UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}} version is almost 7 minutes of [[http://www.se2a1.net/soasc/dl.php?d=soasc/MOS6581R2%2FMUSICIANS%2FH%2FHubbard_Rob%2FNemesis_the_Warlock_T01.sid.mp3 pure SID awesomeness]].

* VillainProtagonist: While one can debate the status of Nemesis's himself the first two stories (especially Killwatt) very much make Torquemada the lead character who we follow with Nemesis an unseen (but for his car) HeroAntagonist with little or no personality. Even later on Torquemada retains substantial screen time and many plots revolve as much around him as his enemies.

* FridgeHorror: In one of the early stories Nemesis gets caught by a few villagers who try to hang him, but it doesn't work. After he kills them one after another, other villagers agrees to let him go free. [[DoomedHometown Now think how Torquemada is gonna]] [[KillEmAll react upon hearing about it]].

* CompleteMonster: [[KnightTemplar Tomas de Torquemada]], "[[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the ultimate incarnation of human evil]]", is the Grand Master of the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-like Termight/Terran Empire]], and Nemesis's ArchEnemy. Even as a teenager, he [[FantasticRacism wanted to kill aliens]] even before being enslaved for several years, a situation which only hardened his resolve. Having seized control by usurping his own brother and locking him in a madhouse with a disfigured face, Torquemada rules humanity and leads campaigns that kill billions upon billions of aliens. He also tortures and murders countless humans, including children, for reasons as small as them merely being in his way; even his supposedly-beloved wife is [[WrongfullyCommitted discarded]] in favor of his crusade. Torquemada provokes a war and sabotages peace between humanity and aliens so that he'll have an excuse to wipe them all out. Despite his rhetoric, Torquemada is a {{hypocrite}} who thinks nothing of using alien energies and life force to keep himself alive by murdering them, bodyjacking humans and aliens alike. When sent to the past, Torquemada's actions horrify even the original [[UsefulNotes/TomasDeTorquemada Torquemada]], one of his earlier incarnations, before Torquemada murders Nemesis's young son Thoth. Torquemada even uses an alien to kill people, including his own men, hoping to turn humanity against Nemesis. In the end, Torquemada attempts to activate his self-described "FinalSolution": a bomb to annihilate all aliens and any human who has ever come into contact with one.

** Nemesis and Torquemada shows a serious amount of blatant FoeYay towards each other whenever they get into a battle with each other

* WeirdAlEffect: The comic today is mostly known for being one of the inspirations for ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: With the exception of Purity Brown, there are hardly sympathetic characters worth rooting for, including Nemesis, who's a brutal demonic AntiHero fighting against Torquemada for all the wrong reasons. The series' heavy handed theme of HumansAreBastards, with most human characters being shown as sleazy and pathetic individuals when not committing atrocities, and Kevin O'Neill's grotesque artwork don't help much either.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Much of the content of the comic is this. However, much of this could also go to the SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped territory.

* MoralEventHorizon:
** Torquemada is considered to be a master of crossing into the MEH zone. In fact, most of his actions and the crimes that he has committed are seen as MEH worthy moments. He has so many of them that the comic narration even lampshades it as when Torquemada was brought to trial in the final arc, it took the courtroom over a week just for them to read the charges against him.
*** Torquemada's actions against his own planet are vile in their own right. Running a thought crimes division and executing anyone who even has thoughts of contempt against Torquemada is one example as he did this on Purity Brown's father.
*** The issue where Torquemada hypocritically has an alien kill his own officers and soldiers just to produce deceitful propaganda against Nemesis for the public in Termight to listen to is also a vile moment for him
*** Probably the most vile and obvious action that shows that Torquemada has indeed crossed the moral event horizon was when he brutally murders Thoth, the son of Nemesis who is only a ten year old kid. The fact that Torquemada shows sadistic glee in this vile atrocity makes a lot of readers want to see Torquemada killed in the most brutal and satisfying fashion.
** Magna crosses through the moral event horizon when she orchestrates the murder of Nemesis' wife Chira by betraying her and Thoth to Torquemada and his terminators and the reason why Magna does this is just so she could get the chance to satiate her lust towards Nemesis.

* CompleteMonster: [[KnightTemplar Tomas de Torquemada]], "[[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the ultimate incarnation of human evil]]", is the [[BigBad Grand Master]] of the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-like Termight/Terran Empire]], and Nemesis's ArchEnemy. Even as a teenager, he wanted to kill aliens even before being enslaved for several years, a situation which only hardened his resolve. Having seized control by usurping his own brother and locking him in a madhouse with a disfigured face, Torquemada rules humanity and leads campaigns that kill billions upon billions of aliens. He also tortures and murders countless humans, including children, just for disagreeing with him, or just to make sure they're not aliens anyways, or even if they’re merely in his way; even his supposedly-beloved wife is basically discarded in favor of his crusade. Torquemada provokes a war and sabotages peace between humanity and aliens so that he'll have an excuse to wipe them all out. Despite his rhetoric, Torquemada is a hypocrite who thinks nothing of using alien energies and life force to keep himself alive by murdering them, body jacking humans and aliens alike. When sent to the past, Torquemada's actions horrify even the ''original'' [[UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition Torquemada]], one of his earlier incarnations, before Torquemada [[spoiler:murders Nemesis's young son Thoth]]. When he overthrows a rival, Torquemada's murder of him is a torture far too graphic to be shown. Torquemada even uses an alien to kill people, including his own men, hoping to turn humanity against Nemesis. In the end, Torquemada attempts to activate his self-described "FinalSolution": a bomb to annihilate all aliens and any human who has ever come into contact with one.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: With the exception of Purity Brown, there are hardly sympatethic characters worth rooting for, including Nemesis, who's a brutal demonic AntiHero fighting against Torquemada for all the wrong reasons. The series' heavy handed theme of HumansAreBastards, with most human characters being shown as sleazy and pathetic individuals when not committing atrocities, and Kevin O'Neill's grotesque artwork don't help much either.

** Nemesis himself is a powerful demonic MagicKnight with a bitchin' spaceship linked to him. While ''far'' less evil than Torquemada, he's no saint himself, and while he regularly goes up against the Terran empire, Nemesis is essentially doing so because he's a {{Troll}}.

* EvilIsCool: Torquemada is in the running for most evil villain in all fiction, but he's ''not'' a coward by any stretch of the imagination, tending to [[VillainousValor fight his much stronger foes like Nemesis hand to hand]]. When Nemesis ripped out his heart, Torquemada's undead body killed the monster that ate it and restored his soul through sheer willpower. Plus, [[http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/File:20120701-213153.jpg his menacing fashion sense]].
