Arrow Season 4: 9 Characters Who Need To Die

8. Vertigo

Arrow John Barrowman
The CW

The character Count Vertigo has appeared in a couple of different iterations in Arrow, bringing along the eponymous drug both times.

The first version, The Count, was a total psycho even before Oliver injected him with an almost lethal dose of the vertigo drug, and returned completely insane. The second, Werner Zytle, aka Vertigo, was less crazy but just as villainous, attempting to blow up Oliver and Felicty.

He was just sent to jail rather than killed, so there’s a good chance he will return. The vertigo drug is an interesting idea - the person injected with it feels great pain, and sees the darkest fears - but it’s been completely done now. They need to not only kill off the character, but kill off the drug.
