is the goddess with whom I've been pleading ever since this evil madman slimed his way into power to PLEASE do something!

Besides just hubris, the traits for which Nemesis punishes the wicked are so oddly specific...

NEMESIS was the goddess of indignation against, and retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment aroused in men by those who commited crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune.
