Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
In the Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City timeline Nemesis "malfunctions" while hunting down S.T.A.R.S , the Wolfpack have to get him back under control. They do this by injecting him with a NE-α Parasite, after this it can be presumed he does exactly what he did in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This version of Nemesis is heavily inspired by the version featured in Resident Evil Apocalypse. Nemesis in this version is also significantly taller than he was in RE3, standing roughly 9 feet tall, in contrast to RE3 where he was "only" about half a head taller than a human male.

The Nemesis appears in the second Resident Evil movie; Resident Evil Apocalypse. In the film's continuity, Nemesis is formerly Matt Addison, one of the two survivors of the first film (alongside Alice) where he becomes infected after being scratched by an Advanced Licker. Unlike the game version, the Nemesis does not use tentacles, but instead, an arm-mounted minigun is added to his arsenal alongside his regular rocket launcher. This is probably because it would have been difficult to animate the tentacles in the film, which almost seems to have an independence from the Nemesis. He is eventually killed after saving Alice's life by shooting down a helicopter with his rocket launcher. He is crushed by the falling debris and supposedly dies. In the novel, he survived the crash, and was only killed by the nuclear missile that destroyed Raccoon City.

Nemesis appears briefly in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Here he is seen in the Incredible Hulk's arcade mode ending being subdued without much effort. Hulk and Chris Redfield are shown infiltrating a mansion similar to the Spencer Mansion in search of Wesker. Hulk asks who Nemesis is, to which Chris casually replies that he was a monster who tried to kill his partner, Jill. Hulk decides to smash Nemesis for this, and it is assumed that he is soundly killed, as Chris and Hulk confront Wesker soon afterwards.
When he was originally considered to be a playable character, Capcom chose not to include him, as the age rating would have been raised due to the nature of his appearance being too "gruesome", which could change the game's rating. Apparently, Capcom had second thoughts about Nemesis' inclusion in Marvel vs Capcom 3, and started working on Nemesis' animations to make him work within a T rated game. A leak revealed his appearance as one of the twelve new playable characters in November 2011's "Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3". His inclusion in Ultimate was officially confirmed at Gamescom 2011. His rival in the game appears to be Doctor Strange. [1]
In battle, Nemesis is a large target and moves slowly, but compensates that by delivering incredibly powerful melee attacks, as well using his bazooka for projectile attacks (and also melees) and whipping out tentacles from his body for long range affairs. His Level 3 Hyper Combo utilizes his final mutated form where he pulls in the victim with his tentacles and devours them for some major damage. Nemesis has been confirmed to say his trademark "S.T.A.R.S." against Chris, Wesker or Jill. His DLC costume is his second form with his jacket torn off, showing off his bare body.
In his ending, Nemesis is shown with Wolverine like claws; with Spencer and the Director of Marvel's Weapon X program commending each other; the director noting that most of the work was already in place and Weapon X only made "minor improvements" to Nemesis.
