===In film=== Nemesis is featured in the 2004 film, ''[[Resident Evil: Apocalypse]]'', portrayed by [[Matthew G. Taylor]]. The character's design was left relatively unchanged, brandishing a rocket launcher and similar attire, but with the addition of a forearm-mounted rail gun,<ref name="jeremy"/><ref>{{cite web |author=Downey, Ryan J. |date=2004-02-12 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20051124080906/http://mtvasia.com/News/200402/17007720.html |archivedate=2005-11-24 |url=http://www.mtvasia.com/News/200402/17007720.html |title=Milla Jovovich Battles Zombies, Bloody Hands On 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' Set |publisher=[[MTV|MTV Asia]] |accessdate=2009-03-26}}</ref> modeled after a heavily modified [[minigun]]. Director [[Paul W. S. Anderson]] noted that the gun's addition was inspired by the idea of Nemesis "walking around with a gigantic, powerful weapon in each hand and almost indecisive as to which one to use".<ref name="jeremy">{{cite web |author=Walker, Jeremy |url=http://www.jeremywalker.com/pages/films/imagesnote/Resident_Evil_Apocalypse_notes.doc |title=Resident Evil: Apocalypse - Production Notes |format=[[DOC (computing)|DOC]] |publisher=Jeremy Walker & Associates |accessdate=2009-01-09}}</ref> The costume for Nemesis was created by Kropserkel Inc. and PJFX Studios, and stands roughly {{height|ft=7|in=3|abbr=mos}} tall,<ref name="krop">{{cite web |url=http://www.kropserkel.com/Nemesis.htm |title=Resident Evil: Apocalypse Nemesis costume |publisher=Kropserkel |accessdate=2008-12-17}}</ref> weighing nearly {{convert|100|lb|kg}}.<ref name="spina" /> After production of ''Apocalypse'' was completed, the costume was restored and put on display at Kropserkel's offices.<ref name="spina">{{cite web |url=http://www.tomspinadesigns.com/Displays.html |title=Custom Display Services |publisher=Tom Spina Designs |accessdate=2008-12-17}}</ref> While Nemesis's design remained similar, the character itself was expanded upon, now portrayed as a [[tragic villain]]. Formerly [[Characters in the Resident Evil films#Matthew Addison|Matt Addison]], a survivor of the events of the first film, he was infected with the T-virus after being scratched by a Licker and later captured and experimented upon by the Umbrella Corporation.
