Nemesis Omega is the designation given to the mysterious leader of the Kryptonian fleet that led an attack on Earth 22 years prior to the events of the series.
Biography[]
Events of Zero Day[]
Twenty-two years prior to the events of Season 1, a mysterious Kryptonian known as Nemesis Omega spearheaded an attempted invasion on Earth during the incident that would come to be known as Zero Day. Omega vaporized many soldiers using their heat vision. The unknown individual disappeared when the portal that the invading fleet attempted to come through closed for unknown reasons (though, it is most likely the destruction of Krypton at hands of Brainiac).[1]
Legacy[]

It is unknown what happened to Nemesis Omega after the events of Zero Day, but their actions on that day had a profound impact on Sam Lane and Amanda Waller, who were survivors of the incident. They founded Task Force X to prepare Earth should the alien invaders ever return. When Superman shows up in Metropolis, Waller and Lane wrongly suspect that he and Nemesis Omega are the same person, leading to Task Force X clashing with Superman on multiple occasions.[1]
Nemesis Omega appears in a simulation of Zero Day created by Sam Lane that was shown to Superman when he was kidnapped by Task Force X for interrogation.[1]
Nemesis Omega is also shown in Clark Kent's nightmare, where he returns to Earth with an invading fleet. He kills Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen using his heat vision. His helmet then opens up, revealing Clark's own face underneath.[2]

- It is unclear if Nemesis Omega's superhuman abilities are natural like Clark's, or provided to them by the technology in their possession.
