Who is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a member of Salem's Seven, a group of supervillain siblings with magical origins tied to New Salem, Colorado. She possesses the power to induce disorientation in her enemies, serving as one of the recurring threats faced by the Fantastic Four.

Conjured into existence during Marvel's fertile Bronze Age, Vertigo made her debut in Fantastic Four #186 in 1977, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Len Wein, George Pérez, and Joe Sinnott. She's a member of both the Fantastic Four's world and the sinister Salem's Seven, which puts her squarely in the thick of Marvel's most iconic corner of the universe. Across her appearances in Fantastic Four and Marvel Knights 4, she keeps dangerous company alongside the likes of Hydron, Vakume, Gazelle, Thornn, and Reptilla — a rogues' gallery that signals she runs in genuinely wild, memorable circles. Nearly five decades of presence in the Marvel catalog make her a quietly enduring figure worth tracking down for any serious Bronze Age enthusiast.
