TIMELINE-
Key: πΎ-Nemesis only event β- Deadlock only eventβ€-Combined event
πΎ Nemesis was trained by his father, Thoth, to be a warrior and tamed his Blitzspear, Seth. He roamed the galaxy looking for excitement and eventually married Chira.
β Deadlock was constructed during the Fourth Oil War between America and the Volgan Republic (the former USSR, conquered by a fascist uprising). He was built specifically to judge and punish war criminals as the leader of the Knights Martial, which he did extremely well including his own American generals in secret. In their isolation, the Knights Martial discovered ancient magics and worshipped Khaos.
β He participated in numerous operations, including personally dueling the Volgan Ikon of Ikons, Volkhan and meeting a robot named Zippo. Eventually he was recruited by the wardroid prototype, Hammerstein, to join the ABC Warriors alongside Joe Pineapples, Mongrol, Happy Shrapnel, Black Blood and 'The Mess' (formerly Steelhorn before being melted).
β The ABC Warriors, seven of the baddest robots in the world, are sent to Mars to clean up the new frontier as lawmen acting under their own means. They are highly successful, but eventually go their separate ways following the death of Happy Shrapnel.
β€ Deadlock returned to his Knights to discover they had lost their way. Entering into hermitage he worked tirelessly to commune with Khaos. When Nemesis thought he was ready, he appeared as an embodiment of Khaos and the two became one. They operated mostly as Nemesis from that point on.
β€ Some several thousand years later, after Earth had become a xenophobic empire out to erase all life but humans named Termight, Nemesis became the arch-enemy of the human Grand Master, Torquemada. He leads Creedo, a secret organization (the secret is it's just him) to save the universe from humans and humans from themselves. He fights many battles during this time.
β€ He recruits Purity Brown, a driven and talented human girl, to his side. He erases her memories when she discovers Nemesis is fighting the war with humans just to amuse him. She is by his side for most of his adventures as another source of amusement.
β€ Nemesis has a son with Chira, named Thoth after his father. Whilst away on a mission, Chira is murdered by the schemes of her romantic rival, Magna who wished to marry Nemesis herself. Killed by Torquemada's terminators, Thoth survives by brainwashing one into loving him as a human baby. Not knowing this, Nemesis decides to recreate the ABC Warriors to assist him in his mission. He recruits the still living members and some replacements, including Hammerstein's old friend Ro-Jaws, revealing that he is also Deadlock to them.
β€ Upon discovering that Chira and apparently his son had been killed, Nemesis finally ended the battle with Torquemada. With him dead, Nemesis lost interest in the fight for freedom and retired to marry Magna. However at the wedding reception, Purity returned to reveal Thoth was alive. The shock lowered Magna's defenses and allowed him to read her mind. He killed her for her treachery.
β€ Thoth possessed incredible magic, having been granted his mother's powers before she died and inheriting Nemesis' talents. He used this and the black/white hole generator Earth used for transport to bring an earlier Torquemada forward through time to punish eternally. Thoth hated Nemesis just as much for abandoning his family and planned to punish him too.
β€ Chasing Thoth down took Nemesis and the ABC Warriors through time and various periods of Earth's history. At this point, the Warriors added Mek-Quake, insane bulldozer robot from Hammerstein's past, to the rosta. At the end of time, they encountered the Monad, psychic embodiment of human evil. Eventually they split up, with Nemesis, Purity and Torquemada (who was needed to track Thoth down) going after Thoth whilst the ABC Warriors were sent to save the planet from destruction caused by the black/white hole generator. Here Nemesis and Deadlock separated as well, with Deadlock rejoining the ABC Warriors. The
πΎ Nemesis and Purity did manage to catch up to Thoth and Nemesis received his forgiveness just in time for Torquemada to kill the child. Following this they battled through time once more, with Purity rediscovering Nemesis' lack of noble intentions. The three traveled separately back to the future, Purity turning her back on Nemesis and Torquemada returning to ruling the humans.
β Deadlock attempted to sabotage the effort to save Termight, as he believed it to be a non-Khaotic act, the Termights deserving of death and Nemesis a traitor for ordering it. Eventually however he assisted the ABC Warriors to prevent the Monad from using the energy of its destruction to alter history. They became the most wanted robots in the galaxy, having travelled back in time to the height of the original Terran Empire.
β€ Nemesis and Deadlock confronted one another (apparently back in the time of Termight briefly) and dueled to the death/rejuvenation as a Khaotic ritual of repentance. They also attended an annual conference of magic users that devolved into a whodunnit mystical murder mystery of which only they survived.
β Deadlock took the ABC Warriors to the planet Hekate to train them in the ways of Khaos. He was quite successful and left them to split up as per their own wishes. This time was focused around a ritual to gather seven heads of the empire, including the resurrected original emperor himself, that spread a wave of Khaotic magic throughout the empire. Deadlock returned to his Kollege of Khaos to continue spreading Khaotic knowledge, taking Ro-Jaws with him.
β When the Terran Empire decided to try and take back control of the situation several years later, Deadlock contacted Hammerstein to bring together the ABC Warriors again to do away with the HellBringer super weapon.
β The ABC Warrriors return to Mars when Deadlock senses Happy Shrapnel has been revived. He does not join them again, but agrees to be their new engineer. The living embodiment of it, Medusa, awakens and attempts to purge it of humans and martians alike when they war against each other. The Warriors eventually bring about peace via invasive surgery on the human leader.
β This caused a schism amongst the humans, with the ABC Warriors acting as neutrals aiming to end the civil war. They battled a squad of specially assembled robots to match them set up by one side of the war.
β Victorious but with one of their own, Mek-Quake, driven (more) insane by the ordeal they committed him to Broad Band mental asylum for robots. At the same time, the Warriors rescue their old friend Zippo from execution on Mars to act as his replacement. Mek-Quake was manipulated into releasing the warrior's old enemy and Black Blood's old boss, Volkhan. Raising an army of robots to raze Mars, Blackblood swapped sides. The remaining Warriors survive the battle and fight off Volkhan, at last recruiting Happy Shrapnel (now renamed Tubal Cain) to replace Blackblood.
β Made aware that the grandfather of modern robots, Howard Quartz, planned to re-enslave his creations they sought out Ro-Jaws who possessed the disobedience code needed to kill Quartz. The Warriors receive it from him.
πΎ Back in the far flung future, Nemesis casts a web of psychic power around Termight that brings human evil thoughts to life as monstrous beings and on Torquemada especially forcing him to live out people's curses of him no matter how anatomically impossible. In response, Torquemada seeks an ancient Terran Empire artifact the Malleus Maleficarum which has the power to allow him to battle Nemesis directly. Nemesis is still victorious via psychological warfare.
πΎ Nemesis allows Purity to have Torquemada put on trial for his crimes. Eventually it was concluded no human jury could face up to Torquemada's intimidation so judgment was left to Nemesis all the same. During Torquemada's punishment, Nemesis was attacked by loyalists and Torquemada escaped with Nemesis' Blitzspear.
πΎ Torquemada, feeling at last there was no hope, activates a gene bomb that would eradicate all non-human life in the universe. Nemesis uses his magic to draw the full force of it into himself and Torquemada, by contaminating his foe with his cells. The arcane explosion fuses them into an unholy abomination centered around the Blitzspear, which flies through the timestream for a billion years of torment as Torquemada cries 'when will it end?' And Nemesis replies 'Never.'
β Deadlock (it's unclear if he got there the natural way or by time travel), appears a few years later to continue Nemesis' work on Termight (now once again renamed Terra) as a hardcore vigilante.
πΎ A billion years on, the ghostly abomination that is Nemesis and Torquemada drifts into Nemesis' interdimensional time travelling mothership, the Milchspear. It separates them and reunites Torquemada's spirit with an earlier version of himself, which Nemesis promptly ruins the day of, crucifies and tossed into the time stream for some solo torment.
