Nemesis (DC Comics) - Relationship of Tresser and Mykros

Relationship of Tresser and Mykros

In DC Comics continuity, Mykros does not seem to have any connection to Tresser (except for the fact that they both battled organizations named "the Council"). However, Tresser was killed in order for Mykros to debut in JSA.

When asked in an interview what happened to Nemesis (Tom Tresser), why he was killed off in Catwoman #62, and was it true that his death was editorially mandated, Catwoman writer Devin Grayson explained:

I was actually hoping to use Nemesis for the role in which I ended up using Trickster – cheerful foil and potential romance. But yes, I was told that he was scheduled to be eighty-sixed – an editor liked his name, but didn't like the character, and had plans, I guess, for a "new" Nemesis.

He wasn't slated to die in Catwoman, but I figured that if he was on his way out, his death might as well be handled by someone who liked and respected him – I tried really hard to show what a great character he was before I killed him in such a way as to ensure that should anyone change their mind, they could bring him back without too much trouble.

Famous quotes containing the word relationship:

    In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as one’s own.
    Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)
