Sounds to me like it is more of an adaptive defense then a Nemesis type
power. Uh the only real example I can think of is "Goose" from the "Galaxy
Rangers" cartoon. He had an environmental adaptation ability that would
allow him to function normally in harsh environments. I'm sure someone else
in some comic somewhere has an ability more similar to your write up, just
drawing a blank on it now.
