History and fiction are all full of stories of great men and great enemies. Conflicts between two men or women of such greatness that they sound only true in works of fiction - and in some cases - they are works of fiction. Holmes and Moriarity, Batman and the Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, Barney the Dinosaur and Adolf Hitler (okay this one isn't true but eh, somewhere on the internet there probably is a picture of Barney battling Hitler).
But history has produced some fantastic match ups, ones produced which creates such fantastic conflicts and match ups. Wellington and Napoleon, Scipio Africanus and Hannibal Barca, Montgomery and Rommel and many more. All of this epicness regarding people and arch enemies makes me want a nemesis. A comical one whom I battle on the back of speeding trains or on the wings of biplanes. Man that would be awesome.
It was just a thought, though....
