Get ready to spin into action with Captain Vertigo, the dizzying superhero with a unique set of superpowers. With the ability to induce vertigo in his enemies, hear the faintest of sounds with his cyborg hearing, Captain Vertigo is a force to be reckoned with in the metropolis of Oppadoppaloppalis. But even the mightiest of heroes needs a sidekick, and Fart Man is there to provide the comic relief with a strange power of his own. Join these unlikely friends as they fight against evil and protect the world from harm in this hilarious superhero tale!Captain VertigoReal Name: Jack Van-goSuperpowers: Vertigo (can make the enemy feel like they're spinning)Tinnitus (a high-pitched sound in the ear of the enemy)Specialised Cochlear Implant - super cyborg hearingSuperhero location: Oppadoppaloppalis CityBackstoryAfter developing a debilitating spinning type of dizziness, a loud high-pitched sound in his ear, and hearing loss, Jack Van-go thought his life is done, only to be spent at home every day, unable to do anything. However, during a particularly ferocious vertigo attack that left him unable to move his head for hours, he learned to harness the spinning vertigo and high-pitched noise of tinnitus and use them as a weapon. Soon after, he is fitted with cyborg hearing, aka, a specialised cochlear implant, to hear again. Captain Vertigo uses his rare condition to fight against crime and injustice. He soon became the talk of the earth for his incredible feats, inspiring people all over the world to embrace their differences, and find the power within themselves to turn their weaknesses into strengths.Sidekicks: Super Sausage Dog; Masked Math Whisperer (cat)Dedicated to kids:Disabilities, visible or invisible, enable new super-abilities unique to you.Everyone is born with the superpower of Kindness.
