History


Vertigo is apparently a native of the Savage Land, a tropical jungle on the Antarctic continent. It appears that Brainchild, one of the superhuman beings known as the Savage Land Mutates, used advanced genetic engineering techniques to endow her with superhuman powers. (It is even possible that Vertigo originally had a much different physical appearance, which was also altered by Brainchild’s artificial mutation techniques.) It was as a member of the Savage Land Mutates that Vertigo first battled the team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men.

It has not been revealed how Vertigo came to join the Marauders, a band of mutants who worked as assassins in the employ of the enigmatic mastermind known as Mister Sinister. Sinister sent the Marauders to murder the entire population of the Morlocks, a community of mutants living underground in the New York City area. Vertigo and her partners succeeded in this task, killing the vast majority of the Morlocks. In the course of this "mutant massacre," the Marauders first clashed with the mutant teams of adventurers known as the X-Men and X-Factor.

Subsequently, the X-Men thwarted the Marauders’ attempt to carry out Sinister’s order to murder his former pawn, Madelyne Pryor, in San Francisco. Later, Sinister sent the Marauders to battle the X-Men during the time of the demonic invasion of New York City known as the "Inferno."

Recently, Vertigo has been active with her original team, the Savage Land Mutates, with no explanation as to why she has left the Marauders.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Psionic Equilibrium Distortion: Vertigo is an artificially enhanced mutate who possesses the superhuman power to disorient another living being’s sense of balance, thereby inducing sensations of vertigo and possibly unconsciousness. Her superhuman power appears to be psionic in nature, and presumably functions by acting upon the organs in the inner ears of her victims that control their sense of balance.

Abilities

None known.

Strength level

Vertigo possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.

Weaknesses

None known.


Paraphernalia

Equipment: None known.

Notes

  • Vertigo, along with most of the other Marauders, is perpetually able to be cloned by Mr. Sinister, which explains how several of the Marauders have returned from the dead on numerous occasions. This has lead to speculation that there may actually be more than one Vertigo, which would explain her appearances with both the Marauders and the Savage Land Mutates.
  • A character similar to Vertigo, named Hypnotia appeared in the Marvel Action Hour Iron Man animated series.


Trivia

  • No trivia.

Vertigo in the X-Men Animated Series

Vertigo appeared in the X-Men Animated Series. She was one of the followers of Mister Sinister and a member of the Nasty Boys. In the series, her powers were amplified after Mr. Sinister genetically modified her with Magneto's DNA in the Savage Land.

Her appearance costume is almost identical with the one she wears in Marvel Fanfare #1-#4, when she was first introduces. The only difference is that in the animated series she wears a shot skirt. Vertigo has blue eyes and white/pale green hair.
