  • Complete Monster: The Count, real name Cecil Adams and also known as Count Vertigo, is a sociopathic drug peddler who seeks to push a new drug, known as Vertigo, onto the streets of Starling City. Introduced here, the Count kidnaps people to serve as test subjects as he tries to perfect Vertigo. He injects them with the drug, causing them excruciating pain, then offers them a gun with one bullet: they can shoot the Count for revenge, or shoot themselves to end the pain. The suicide rate, after nearly thirty victims, is one hundred percent. He also tests the drug on his own minions, as well as using it as a weapon. The Count sees the fatalities that result from Vertigo as making the drug even better, comparing it to a wine ripened with age.
