_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Count Werner Vertigo was the last descendant of the royal family of the small Balkan country of Vlatvia until the end of World War II when it was enveloped by the Soviet Union. Count Vertigo first appeared in Star City, attempting to steal back the family jewels his parents had sold when they escaped to England after the war.

Victim of a hereditary ear defect that affected his sense of balance, Vertigo had a small electronic device implanted into his right temple that enabled him to compensate for the problem. By making certain adjustments to the device, Vertigo learned he could affect other people's balance as well, distorting their perceptions so that they could not tell up from down.

Thus armed, Vertigo came into conflict with Green Arrow and Black Canary, who thwarted his crimes by using her ultrasonic cry to overload his implant.

Vertigo has escaped from prison several times since then, attempting to gain revenge on Black Canary and Green Arrow.

Nullify also affects all special attacks - you probably don't need to put that whole list out, but it might be worth updating the heading for the part about his electronic implant power to also include the effects of nullify.

We did, didn't we? Nullify used to be for flying and now it's for special attacks ...

OK, your right we did. I just saw the titles in the same place and freaked without noticing that it was the power text that was swapped out.

It's been so long since I played with him that I wasn't sure, but I was pretty sure ...
