Ester Crumpstein is the daughter every parent wants to have. She is an honest, responsible, straight A student, president of the science club, competitive chess player and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Ester is Aloysius' next door neighbour and has been the secret object of his affection for years. Unbeknownst to him this affection is somewhat shared, while she would never admit it, she does find him kind of cute and as a fellow science geek she admires his intellect. His attitude however, certainly leaves a lot to be desired but maybe he is a project worth working on.
Ester's room is covered in posters of Blue Bolt. Ever since he rescued her cat from a tree when she was twelve years old Ester has admired him. Aloysius is constantly startled by why she fails to see through the spandex exterior to the complete moron underneath.
Ester and Aloysius's relationship is complicated to say the least and becomes even stranger as certain facts about their lives begin to come to light...
Next time we meet the sexy supervillainess Misstery...
Prepare for the second character bio in the series. As much as it pains me to even present this rubbish, it is that of my archnemesis Blue Bolt.
Blue Bolt
Time Magazine's Hero of the Year for ten years running, President of the United States League of Defenders, Special Envoy to the United Nations International Superhero Commission and runner up in Cleopatra Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive (behind Johnny Depp), Blue Bolt is San Francisco's favourite son and one of the world's most prominent superheroes.
His secret identity is **** ***** (I can't go revealing such an amazing plot twist now can I). He was a handsome All-American Quarterback in High School and was destined to make it to the pros but during during drunken celebrations after winning the state championship he was dared to swim into the river and retrieve a wayward pass. Upstream the Global Tech facility was pumping all flavours of radiological material into the river. Swimming out to the ball he was struck by lightning, the resulting combination gave him super-speed and super-strength.
When his powers meant that he was unable to play football without revealing his secret, his agent convinced him to follow a new career path and become a hero. A career path that, with advertising campaigns and endorsements, has proven profitable enough for a comfortable living for his family, plus Blue Bolt loves the attention.
Blue Bolt's weakness, apart from the ladies, is his constant need for energy while using his powers; don't be surprised to see Blue Bolt swing through a fast food drive-through while in hot pursuit of some criminals. Even after more than 20 years with his powers he still finds it difficult to stop or manoeuvre. His brain, which it must be said isn't the sharpest, can't keep up with his body at full speed. Slippery or flammable surfaces also cause issues. A source of constant amusement is Blue Bolt's inability to metabolize alcohol.
Blue Bolt is everything Aloysius both hates and in some ways envies. Handsome, popular and successful Aloysius thinks he is a stupid arrogant jock, but the world, for some unknown reason loves him.
Till next time when we meet the amazingly beautiful Ester Crumpstein...
It has been quite a while since my last post but with good reason. I have been working hard on perfecting my Atomic Immobilzier ray that will spell the end for Blue Bolt. T-H-E E-N-D that's how you spell it Blue Bolt.
For the next few posts Justin is going to introduce you to the characters I share the pages of Nemesis with.
The first character bio is none other than my own.
ALOYSIUS B. BROWN/PROFESSOR NEMESIS
Seventeen year old Aloysius B. Brown lives in the basement of his mother’s house and appears to be a typical high school science geek. Highly intelligent but with close to zero social skills he is a loner at school, apart from his best and equally outcast friend Terrence Wong.
Aloysius is constantly tormented by Dwayne Sharpe, quarterback of the football team and alpha male of the hallways of J.J. Jenkins High. Add to this his undeniable crush on the beautiful Ester Crumpstein (the girl next door), and Aloysius seems to battle his way through High School like nerds everywhere. This is, of course, except for the fact that Aloysius B. Brown is the super villain Professor Nemesis, soon to be Evil Genius.
During the day Aloysius labours his way through the hive of idiocy they call high school; avoiding incompetent teachers, the intoxicating Ester Crumpstein and the testosterone fuelled Dwayne Sharpe as much as possible. He slaves away at his part time job at a computer store, constantly astounded by the stupidity of the public. But then, freed from the bounds of society he becomes Professor Nemesis, plotting the destruction of his archenemy Blue Bolt and eventual world domination.
Due to the popularity of my last post of concept art I once again present to you a series of drawings undertaken by Ash in the early days of the development of Nemesis...
Of course I look nothing like that scrawny wretch in the far left picture...I must return now to the development of my muscular enhancement drug.
I recently received news that Justin won second place in the Write Brothers Inc. Facebook Comic Con Scriptwriting Competition for an extract of Nemesis. I would like to take this opportunity to say congratulations Justin...but second place, who was awarded first place? If Blue Bolt wasn't in Nemesis then I'm sure he would have triumphed, that plastic faced super-idiot ruins everything. Second place...where did I put those attack drones, that should be sufficient to teach them a less--ah I mean congratulations to Justin...
It has recently come to my attention that people seem to be interested in seeing some so called concept art...frankly I find the notion somewhat absurd, as if I was ever just a 'concept'. Never the less here is some of Ash's original concept art for myself and the other supporting characters of Nemesis.
Can you believe that Justin and Ash didn't even know what I looked like? Well I can assure you that soon the whole world will know what Professor Nemesis looks like...!
So this is my first blog post, just a short one to let you know that as I write this Justin and Ash are feverishly working to finish documenting my nefarious adventures in the comic series Nemesis coming soon from Arcana comics.
Here is a short preview:
Check back here regularly for updates on the release and witness as this blog becomes a small step towards my plan for World (Wide Web) domination.
Welcome to the blog of Aloysius B. Brown the star of Nemesis coming soon from Arcana comics.
In San Francisco the word hero is synonymous with one name: Blue Bolt. But as the city prepares to honour their favourite son in a spectacular celebration of his 20 year super-heroic career not everyone is as impressed...
Aloysius B. Brown didn't agree when his High School Careers Councillor told him to become an accountant. Instead, tormented by the jocks at school and shunned by the beautifully geeky Ester Crumpstein, his next door neighbour, president of the science club and a crush he wishes he didn't have; Aloysius decides to pursue a career in supervillainry. Someone has to destroy that cocky, painfully stupid, spandex clad idiot Blue Bolt, someone like him, the diabolical Professor Nemesis (soon to be) Evil Genius. Unfortunately, Aloysius doesn't realise just how difficult, no, just how strange plotting world domination can be!

I am 17 year old Aloysius B. Brown and at the risk of providing a little too much information to my enemies (mainly that meatbrain Blue Bolt) I am also the super villain Professor Nemesis (soon to be) Evil Genius.
