How much control do players have over their Nemesis? They can pick costume, name, and powers, obviously, but does it go beyond that? Can we choose their animation set? Can we pick a style of dialogue, or write any of it ourselves? Not all archenemies behave the same way, and I'd really like to be assured the game will give us options to reflect the differences some going after money, some with a personal vendetta against the hero, some just wanting to have fun, etc. (KelpPlankton)
There are a lot of areas where you influence your Nemesis. You choose his powerset, his costume, what type of minions he has and then the powersets that they use. For example, you could choose alien minions with darkness powers serving a Nemesis who has lightning powers. You do get to choose his personality: maniacal, savage, or mastermind are some of the current options. That will change his dialogue style. You won't get to write his dialogue, but that choice will determine the type of dialogue he has.
