Count Vertigo is a supervillain created by Gerry Conway, Trevor Von Eeden and Vince Colletta as an enemy of Black Canary, Batman and later Green Arrow in the DC Comics Universe. Count Vertigo is the last descendant of the royal family that ruled the small eastern European country of Vlatava that was taken over by the Soviets and later became devastated by the Spectre.[1]
Two incarnations of Count Vertigo, Cecil Adams and Werner Zytle, appeared as guest characters in Arrow, portrayed by Seth Gabel and Peter Stormare respectively.
