A more interesting distinction for rivals is Chuck Klosterman's elaboration on the difference between a nemesis and an archenemy.  The example is if your nemesis was about to get run over by a bus you would push them out of the way to save them.  You would let an archenemy get run over.  Kal is our nemesis.  U$C and that parochial school in Indiana are the archenemies.
