Powers and abilities

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.

The mutagenic process Vertigo has undergone has endowed her with the ability to psionically disorient the equilibrium of an sentient being. This power induces effects ranging from mild dizziness to unconsciousness. This may not seem like a very impressive ability, but with it she managed to single handedly subdue many superheroes at once.

Notes

• A character similar to Vertigo named Hypnotia appeared in the Marvel Action Hour Iron Man animated series.

• Vertigo, along with most of the other Marauders, is perpetually cloneable 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.
