I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I have not been able to find it. If it is in the rulebook and I somehow overlooked it, I will feel equally, if not more, foolish, but..., here it goes:

Does a Nemesis Bonus not apply to one's self? If Tachyon redirects the damage that would have been dealt to her via [Synaptic Interferance] back onto Baron Blade, then wouldn't Baron Blade suffer said damage plus 1?

It doesn’t apply to the dame card, just a different card with the same symbol.

Other Pushing the Limit is for 3, Solar Flare for 5 etc.

No, targets do not apply a nemesis bonus when targeting themself.

The dame card you say? Sounds like a great card to have.

Two cards from the same deck aren't nemeses either, right?  For things like the Ennead, the Chairman/Operative, and the Sentinels.

Yes they can be. If Operative dealt the Chairman damage, it would be increased due to the nemesis bonus. Ennead members are the same way.

Any different card that shares a nemesis symbol would get the bonus damage applied to them, even if they come from the same deck.

The explanation is that their guard is down around their cohorts…or some deep, dark anger is being expressed between secret frenemies!

Yeah, when using Medico's signature card to turn damage dealt into healing, if you can target another sentinel with that damage you will gain the nemesis bonus to the healing. (which can be used to heal any hero target)

Ooooh…I never thought of that :D. That said, I don't play the Sentinels that often and when I do, I don't often get out Hippocratic Oath, but still…
