Some of the Nem stuff is currently bugged, so be wary of not being able to complete missions.
Are you asking personally or on a technical level? I'll go with technical for now.
Once your nemesis is created you can get a nemesis mission drop every 6 hours (realtime). Several of these missions will involve the nemesis minions and after a few of those missions are done a larger mission is given to actually deal with your nemesis. After you've done this a few times the concluding mission places your nemesis in jail where you can either make a new nemesis or do the mission where your nemesis breaks out of jail and begins their quest against you anew.
You can also fight your nemesis by doing nemesis alerts and by doing the Nemesis Confrontation mission which is only available at level but has no hourly restrictions IIRC.

In personal terms; rarely since I got the full set of Heirloom gear. Will be doing a few more now to get the soon to be presented -non- glowy eye version when it is released.

Nemesis gear with the old prices. So when on Alert came out i had over 55.000 Nem Tokens
and i bought 9-10 sets of Heirloom gear and still have masses of them and nothing
worth buying it.
So after on Alert i seldom did any more Nemesis Missions and only Nemesis Alerts.
Andrith Ruins on M.I., I believe and as a minion of Cyberlord in Whiteout.

Always...the battle never ceases...NEVER I TELL YOU!
My ingame one's always try to get my attention, but........meh, too busy avoiding my group leader, watching me for things that I shouldn't be doing, but do anyway.
Of all the things I've lost,
It think I miss my mind the most.
I remember minion ambushes were more frequent in old days. Maybe just my luck. He wasn't the Nemesis I wanted to create anyway. When every bug about Nemesis system fixed then I can really continue enjoy this game.
It's a game mechanic. At level 25 you earn the ability to create a custom villain to foil.
Basically it goes like this:
Step 1) Pick a personality - there are 3 types, Lunatic, Savage and Mastermind; each has a different dialogue when your Nemesis pipes up during special Nemesis missions.
Step 2) Pick a powerset.
Step 3) Pick some Goons, and their powersets.
Step 4) Create your Nemesis' costume.
Step 5) Give'm a Name/Bio. If I remember right the Bio is not visible to other players for some reason; though that may have been fixed.*
Anyway long story short, you'll run an introductory mission against said nemesis, and then from that point forward you'll occassionally get ambushed by small groups of your nemesis' minions. Sometimes they drop a Nemesis Clue which offers you a Nemesis Mission - sometimes the mission is to go beat up more minions or a lackey of your Nemesis; other times you actually have to confront the Nemesis themselves.
All told, it's an interesting idea... and one I think most of us here really wish they did more with. < . .> I'll spare you the complaints, because the first time or two through it it's actually pretty neat; it's just when you're on Nemesis #6 or so it starts to wear a bit. Though they do show up in some other non-Nemesis System specific content, like one of the Comic Series and in the end-game Nemesis Confrontation battle.
*I've been very lazy with nemesis creation on my more recent characters - I just don't have any good ideas.

You can actually make one that looks strikingly similar. Minions won't look anything like clockworks though. You control the look of your nems minions and 'type' of powers your nemesis and minions have. It is a pretty dang awesome system, but it does have a few bugs at the moment with certain power sets.

Henchmen unfortunately have a choice of stock appearances, there is quite a wide variety though.
Semi stock. You have a pretty large selection of choices like robots, cowboys, pirates, demons, etc. But they cannot be fully customized like your nemesis can.

For instance, I made an ice Nem with dark blue powers, who has fire henchmen . . . but their powers are colored with the same scheme.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
That's actually rather tempting to do with my next Nemesis.
Also, you get more then one. After you run though enough missions with one, you eventually get to lock him or her up for good. At which point you get to make a new one.
You also get to keep the one you have, if you like them, and get the Jailbreak mission.

I think its bugged and the team leader's neme is the one that is chosen.
The other day a group of us, all with an active neme farmed Q by doing the Nemesis Smash over and over. We got the team leader's neme about 20 straight times and it wasn't until he had to leave (and the star passed to me) that we got a different nemesis and yes, it was now my neme. We got that one 3 straight times before I had to leave.
