- Cecil Adams (died December 6 2013), self-styled Count Vertigo and formerly known as The Count, was the dealer and creator of a drug called Vertigo. He received his original nickname because his first customers, or "victims", were left with a mark by the injection of the drug on their neck, shaped like a vampire's bite. The Count was killed by Oliver Queen as the drug dealer tried to murder Felicity Smoak. Werner Zytle would later take up his mantle under the name "Vertigo".
- Count Vertigo is a supervillain that is a frequent foe of both Green Arrow and Batman, and is in reality Werner Vertigo, who has the ability to induce dizziness in a person with his energy projection abilities.
- Count Vertigo first appeared in Star City, where he attempted to steal back the jewels his parents had sold when they escaped to England after the war. The victim of a hereditary inner ear defect that affected his balance, Vertigo had a small electronic device implanted in his right temple that compensated this problem. Tinkering with the device, Vertigo learned he was able to affect other people’s balance as well, distorting their perceptions so that they literally couldn't tell up from down, an effect known as vertigo. This would bring him in conflict with the heroes Green Arrow and Black Canary.Suicide Squad
