- Captain Nemesis is similar to Syndrome from the Incredibles. Both of them endanger civilians so that they can pretend to be superheroes. Neither have superpowers but their technology and intellect allows them to be a threat to those that DO have superpowers. However, in an inversion of the character, Captain Nemesis was Ben's idol while Mr. Incredible (the main character of the Incredibles) was Syndrome's idol as a child.
- Captain Nemesis also has some similarities to Marvel's Tony Stark/Ironman, being a business man who fights in an high-tech suit of armor that grants him superpowers, has a Jarvis-like butler in the form of Simon, and being immensely egotistical. His face pre-surgery even resembles Tony Stark's face.
