Nemesis Dungeon and making a Tank
First up is details on the promised Nemesis End Game dungeon. This hits on a lot of the elements I was hoping to see: armor sets, new 5 man dungeon, the ability to buy the armor set if you can't get it as a drop, and cool use of the Nemesis system. There will also be a Nemesis Dev Chat on Nov. 20, 2009. Then enjoy the new Lair on Nov. 24, 2009!

The halls at the UNITY headquarters are silent and tense. Very, very tense. Using his vast array of deep space scanners, the super-scientist Mentiac has detected a dangerous anomaly - a Qliphothic Rift in space.Mentiac speaks of entropic energy surges and quantum disturbances, an unstable threat which must be investigated further. Powerful UNITY mystics known as Dr. Black and Dr. White call it a gateway into the Shining Dark, a dimension where incredibly powerful ancient gods plot the destruction of our reality. Both agree: This rift must be stopped, and only the best and strongest of superheroes has a chance of coming out of this alive.
What UNITY doesn’t know is that there is a group of powerful super villains working together in service of this diabolical force. Those heroes who rise to the challenge will traverse the depths of space to find themselves facing fearsome alien gladiators, awesomely empowered Nemeses, as well as the greatest enemy humanity as ever known: Shadow Destroyer!
Then over at TenTonHammer.com/co they have a nice guide on how to build a Melee Tank. A lot of gamers are confused how to fit a role in Champions and this article will help you fill the role of being the tank!
EDIT:
From the current PTS version of the Nemesis Lair, it seems that your actual Nemeses are a very minor encounter, being no more difficult than generic henchmen who you do not need to defeat to continue on to the real end boss.
Follow these links and support my request for the developers to fix the lair:

Pretty interesting. It kind of makes me sad that I am not level 40 yet.
I can’t wait to step aside and let Dozens’ nemesis, Pick, to destroy Dozens. I hope that Dozens looks over in “my corner” as it happens.

When I heard about this lair I imagined it would be something along these lines, with the Nemesis acting as a sub boss:
Players enter Villian base.
Floor 1: At the end of the Floor is Nemesis 1 —
Floor 2: Mid Floor is Nemesis 2 at the end of Floor Nemesis 3
Floor 3: At the end fo the Floor Nemesis 4 and Nemesis 5
Floor 4: End Boss
If the Nemesis is just another henchmen… will seem like a waste of my Nemesis — as he can be rather tough.
