Dark Nemesis is a high-powered group who will work for anyone that will pay them. They first come in conflict with the Teen Titans when Veil hires them to test the Titans' abilities. After the battle, only Scorcher evades capture.[1]

Scorcher later orchestrates a prison break. During the breakout, Risk psychically connects with Scorcher and learns that she is a H'San Natall hybrid.[2]
