Nader McMillan is the main antagonist in the novel "Everybody Sees the Ants" by A. S. King. He serves as a foil to Lucky, taunting him constantly, and physically beating him up several times. Nader is mean, spiteful, and vindictive, and takes delight in torturing others. He is protected by a wealthy and influential father. Eventually, Nader is fired from his job as a lifeguard at the pool when enough people -including Lucky's mother- complain. After Nader forces Charlotte to leave the pool topless in order to retrieve her own top, Ronald shows up and beats Nader McMillan up.
