Nemesis Magnet	comment	A character will often find themselves with a nemesis after affecting someone else's life in an extremely negative way. But sometimes a character may garner the hate of many to the point where multiple characters are out for their heads. A Nemesis Magnet is a character who has several people who consider them their Arch-Enemy. The most likely cause of this will be that the character has great influence to the point where their villainous actions are felt by an incredibly wide scale of people. Some of those people after experiencing traumatic events due to this villain's actions, will swear Revenge, vowing to take them down at all costs and through any sacrifice. In all likelihood, the Nemesis Magnet will be a villainous character whose widespread cruelties are committed for the sake of a larger goal. There is a chance that the villain themselves won't care all about these nemeses or why they want them dead. Or perhaps the villain is aware of all the damage they're doing to the people around them, but believes it to be a necessary sacrifice, to even sympathizing with the ones they hurt, but will not let that deter them from their goals. The character doesn't have to be a villain. As a result of constantly thwarting their plans, a hero is equally likely to be targeted by several villains who view their conflict with personal animosity. The hero is likely to take the conflict with these villains just as personally. Compare Hated by All, where a character is generally detested by the people around them, and 0% Approval Rating, where a character in a position of authority is disliked by peers and subordinates. Also compare Hate Sink, where a character is written to be disliked by the audience.

While they are sometimes at odds with each other, they consider Ranma their chief opponent, and will on occasion team up against him. Otherwise they pretty much ignore each other for the most part.

Tarquin the Spoony Bard defuses the situation by requesting that he be allowed to beat the searat over the head with his harolina before everyone else goes for the kill. In the end Gabool is killed by his own pet scorpion.

From the key figures of his former life as the Prince of Lordaeron his mentor Uther the Lightbringer, best friend Muradin Bronzebeard, and lover Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas Windrunner and Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider of the High Elves he crushed as a Death Knight, the egotistical Heroic Wannabe Illidan Stormrage, over half the major characters of Warcraft III are in some way alternatively working together or jockeying for position to take him down first come his return in the MMO that needs no introduction. And then we get into everyone who personally want him dead who weren't from the RTS series.

Nemesis Magnet / int_530296a4	comment	Scootertrix the Abridged: Princess Celestia thinks having an arch-nemesis is a sign of greatness, and she takes great pride in the fact she has five of them. Three of these nemeses are villains who want Celestia dead (King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Sunset Shimmer) and the other two are decidedly more petty rivalries (Spike just sends Celestia hate-mail, and Celestia resents Kevin Bacon for being better than her at everything). Her sister Princess Luna just thinks it's all stupid.

He commissioned the Insidious Six and the original three Spider Slayers for the purpose of killing Spider-Man. Drove Norman Osborn into becoming the Green Goblin which led to the Goblin trying to kill Fisk in a Kangaroo Court. His murder of Matt Murdock's father led to him becoming the vigilante Daredevil. Felicia Hardy doesn't have much love for Fisk either due to him kidnapping her and her father, and experimenting on her in his plan to create an army of Super Soldiers.

Liu Kang becomes personally invested with Kahn's defeat after he murders Kung Lao. And his adopted daughter Kitana grows a personal vendetta towards him after learning about what he did to her true father, and specifically after replacing her with Mileena. Shang Tsung was the final boss of the first game and was defeated by Liu Kang. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Tsung kills Liu Kang in revenge and earns himself the anger of Liu's friend Kung Lao who dies trying to avenge him. Deadly Alliance also introduces Kenshi, a swordsman who was blinded by Shang Tsung's treachery and seeks to slay the sorcerer. Due to his role in the death of the former's older brother and the destruction of the latter's family and clan, both Sub-Zero and Scorpion have a personal enmity with the sorcerer Quan Chi.

On Ridley's end, he despises Samus for surviving the raid that took her parents' lives, and for humiliating him time and time again whenever they fight. Another series-wide candidate is Mother Brain. The manga reveals that Mother Brain was created by the Chozo, who raised Samus after she was orphaned. She then allied with the Space Pirates and helped them wipe out the Chozo. Samus would fight Mother Brain two more times, with their final confrontation ending with the deaths of both Mother Brain and the baby Metroid that Samus grew a bond with. Within the Metroid Prime Trilogy is Dark Samus. After being defeated by Samus as the Metroid Prime, Dark Samus began to stalk her throughout Dark Aether, trying to kill Samus every time they met. Their feud eventually became much more personal when Dark Samus corrupts Samus' bounty hunter friends, forcing them to fight her and killing them off when they failed.
