Exclusive: "Arrow" Targets "Fringe's" Seth Gabel to Play Big Bad 'Vertigo'

This is sure to make fanboys and girls everywhere dizzy with excitement:
"Fringe" alum Seth Gabel is joining "Arrow" as a “scary and nightmarish” super-villain modeled after the DC Comics character Vertigo, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The CW hit’s version of Vertigo will be vastly different from the Vlatavan count in the comics. First off, his name won’t be Vertigo. Secondly, Not-Vertigo will exude a darkly grounded, Christopher Nolan-esque vibe.
On the other hand, the deadly new drug that becomes all the rage in Starling City in the Big Bad’s introductory episode (slated to air in early 2013) will be called Vertigo.
(It’s safe to say Not-Vertigo’s superpower — the ability to disorient and unbalance his victims — will remain intact.)
A source describes the evildoer as “Oliver’s deadliest adversary to date.”
