They need to make Count Vertigo an anti hero again they need to talk about his disabilities again (both his bipolar disorder AND his Ménière’s disease etc) they need to talk about him being deaf in detail for once and they NEED to make him canonically like men

I find it funny that Count Vertigo is defined as a Green Arrow villain when in reality most of his appearances come from the Suicide Squad and Checkmate.

My Fan Fiction

I picked up some new followers recently. If you're interested in reading my fan fiction but aren't sure where to begin, I've got a Selected Works collection for my favorites.

Other collections of possible interest:

Awesome AUs

Charming Crossovers

Crack Fics

Furry Fiction

Multifandom Theologies

Atypical Spy Stories

I also now have a collection for my meta.

I've additionally got several series. On the shorter side, there's Sucky Ficlets for the MCU, Lieutenants in Love for Black Panther (comics), and Capital City Courtships for Avatar: The Last Airbender. On the longer side, I've got Would Trade Israel Hands for One (1) Orange for Our Flag Means Death, Queen & Knight for DC Comics, Equine Resurrections for the Valdemar series, and both Rebuilding Ishval and Love and Sedition for Fullmetal Alchemist.

Rating: M (for implied sexual content and language)

Pairing: King Faraday/Count Vertigo

Summary:

After spending a night together Werner and Faraday discuss the nature of their relationship.

All I can say is that I'm back on my bullshit. It only took six years. And there is more where this came from.

So close

Amazons Attack #4

[peacerisendove]

I'm feral for Count Vertigo again and I'm spreading my Werner Vertigo/King Faraday propaganda.

Does it sound like a weird take? Yes, I know it does. But if you look through Werner's appearances he is rarely decent to anyone, so his joking with Faraday, the two being on good terms, clearly trust each other and the other's abilities, and also them being a group deal when Waller reforms the Suicide Squad after they had already worked for her when she was the White Queen of Checkmate is significant. There is practically no one else Werner is close to. The closest I can come up with is Floyd and they weren't exactly friends.

Also Faraday and Werner being together in a romantic sense is interesting and funny because Faraday was the quintessential ladies' man back in the day when he was a spy as well as seduced quite a few women. That was one of his primary characteristic and the irony of the ladies' man and a serial seducer like him is falling for the Count is just perfect in my book.

Also there's the additional hilarity of of Werner having to call him King, given his own royal background and past desire to rule. The potential banter just with that alone would be hilarious.

Checkmate (2006) #4

[dcuninterrupted]

MAXWELL LORD... UNDERFIRE!

AMANDA WALLER is the most powerful name the public has never heard. While pulling the strings of TASK FORCE X from behind the scenes, she has come to a realization that her lasting legacy must be rewritten. MAXWELL LORD has taken control of her old agency, Checkmate, and the Wall deploys her team in order to take him down. The question for the Squad is how many bodies will be left along the way?

Find out what happens in Suicide Squad #1: Check and Mate!, out June 22!
