Real Name: Real name unknown
Nicknames: Vertigo
Occupation: Assassin
Vertigo is a native of the Savage Land and obtained superhuman powers at a young age by genetic engineering. Her powers enable her to render a person severely dizzy and even unconscious. She became a member of a group of mutants known as the Savage Land Mutates, and in this group she first battled the X-Men.
Later, she joined the Marauders, a group of mutants working as assassins for a mad scientist named Mr. Sinister. The scientist wanted his assassins to destroy a large community of mutants, known as the Morlocks, who lived under New York City. They did succeed in annihilating a large number of the underground mutants. While the Marauders were accomplishing this, they also clashed with the X-Men, Thor, X-Factor, and Power Pack
Soon after this, Sinister sent Vertigo along with the other Marauders to fight the X-Men in New York City just before the extradimensional incursion known as the "Inferno". Her alliance with Sinister was short lived, as she soon rejoined her Mutate allies. Vertigo has been active with her original team, the Savage Land Mutates, with no explanation as to why she has left the Marauders.
Recently, Vertigo encountered the Avengers in the Savage Land. Vertigo used her powers to render them all unconscious and they were all taken captive briefly. This appearance was notable because her powers appeared to have been amplified considerably since her last appearance in the pages of the X-Men books. She also appeared to have blue skin now and red hair, although this could have been a trick of the light or even her powers disorienting the Avengers' senses.
For this thread, all of the mutates are needed, and will be in the background, to keep it more compehensible, I've made a list of the mutates involved this time.
Sauron is the leader.
In human form Karl Lykos is fairly typical, except he keeps his ability to absorb the life forces of other living things to sustain himself. This often triggers his transformation into his pterodactyl form. If he absorbs the life force of a mutant he will absorb a fraction of their powers temporarily. In pterodactyl form he is superhumanly strong and possesses the ability to fly at a natural winged flight limit. He also has fire-breath, which he used to burn the second Black Widow when she shot him in the head. It is also noted that he can enhance his body density and strength through some sort of Psionic enhancement that can be noted by his hands covered in a thin reddish-energy feild. He also has a powerful mind control ability that may require eye contact to complete. He frequently uses his mind control power to give his victims terrifying delusions that allies have become monsters. He is also able to project a scream enhanced by pure psychic energy.
Amphibius - A frog-like mutate who can leap great distances, breathe underwater, and control aquatic life.
Barbarus - A four-armed mutate with physical strength, endurance, and injury resistant powers. Recently escaped the Raft holding facility in the breakout of Sauron.
Lupo - A mutant who has strength, speed, endurance, reflexes as well as hyper keen senses, sharp claws, and can command animal life (including dogs). He later gains the appearance of a werewolf-like creature.
