* Does it bother anyone else that Nemo does basically ''nothing'' for the entire series, yet is still considered a full flegeded member of the team. He goes out to help once, gets mistaken for a servant, and then spends the rest of the mission adamantly refusing to carry his own weight. The only help he brings to the table are all his cool toys, and if the League had enough clout to not only identify Nemo AND goad him into working for them (a pretty damn impressive task, if 20,000 Leagues is to be believed) you'd think they'd be able to reverse engineer most of it, or find someone else with similar tech who was more of a team player.
** I was kind of bothered by that too, and it seemed to me that Moore maybe didn't know whether he wanted to deconstruct Nemo or present him in basically the same way as the source material, and so the end result is that Nemo doesn't really mesh with other characters. It's kind of odd too since {{spoiler|Ozymandius of course}} of [[Watchmen]] is a great deconstruction of your "Ra's al Ghul" type of [[Affably Evil]] [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] / [[Omnicidal Maniac]] of which Nemo is kind of the original.
*** Okay let me think
*** 1- Nemo saves Mina and Quatermain from being lynched by the locals in Cairo
