==Powers and abilities==
Vertigo was able to induce sensations of extreme vertigo in her opponents.

Vertigo's alter ego form (nonetheless very human-looking) is capable of wielding magic on par with the rest of the New Salemites. In addition, she is able to assume a form that allowed her additional powers-- those of inducing extreme and debilitating nausea in her victims. This ability was augmented and amplified by the Wizard.
