Backstory
After 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 everyday, 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 it 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.

Fart Man
(from an interview with Captain Vertigo in the book)
Interviewer: (laughing) And how does Fart Man assist you in your adventures?
Captain Vertigo: (smiling widely) Well, you see, Fart Man has this unique power. He can, uh, let out these powerful farts that can, uh, knock out the villains, distract them, or, in some cases, even propel me him or me to safety.
Interviewer: (bursting into laughter) That's incredible! How did Fart Man develop this power?
Captain Vertigo: (shrugging) It's a mystery even to me. But I'm just grateful to have him by my side.
Interviewer: (trying to regain composure) And what does Fart Man do when he's not saving the day with his farts?
Captain Vertigo: (smiling) Oh, he loves to eat beans, of course. And whenever he does, his powers are multiplied tenfold.
