Nemesis

Prompt: If I were a super hero's nemesis, what kind of villain would I be, and what kind of powers would I possess?

If I were a super hero's nemesis, I would be an annoying one that would never stay incarcerated or hors de combat for long and taunted endlessly when battling. For example, the hero would strike me down with a mighty blow that knocks me backward off of a tall building's roof; and I would use a climbing tool of some kind to catch myself and bring myself back up the moment the hero let his/her guard down. Once I had landed myself safely directly behind the hero, I'd attack and make a teasing remark about having to hit me harder next time or something to that effect. My powers would include invisibility and teleportation because they would assist me in my quest to be an incredible nuisance. I would want to annoy the hero because I have found in experience that annoyance and frustration are often obstacles that can lead to failure or surrendering. So, if I were a super hero's nemesis, my main trait would be my love and talent for annoying my enemy as part of my plot to lead them to their defeat.
