'Count Vertigo' Is The Latest DC Comics Villain To Make Small Screen Debut In ARROW
The CW are reportedly planning on bringing 'Vertigo' to the small screen in Arrow, although the character will be undergoing a fairly radical make-over! Even so, sources still describe this version of the DC Comics villain as being Oliver Queen's, "deadliest adversary to date".
TV Line reports that 'Count Vertigo' is set to make his small screen debut in Arrow early next year. However, he's set to be very different to the comic book version of the character, with their sources indicating that the CW series will be giving him both a new name and appearance. However, they go on to add that "the deadly new drug that becomes all the rage in Starling City in the Big Bad’s introductory episode will be called Vertigo!" Er, fair enough then. Still, it's also thought that his powers (an ability to disorientate his opponents) will remain intact. "He will be truly scary and nightmarish," the site was told, adding that he is "Oliver’s deadliest adversary to date." What do you guys make of this news?
