Description

Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon: Named after the civilian identity of the DC Comics character Vibe. A mechanical engineering genius, Cisco is the youngest member of the team of scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs. Vibe is the alter ego of Francisco "Paco" Ramon, a fictional character and comic book superhero published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Justice League of America Annual #2 (October 1984),[1] and was created by Gerry Conway and Chuck Patton.
Paco Ramon's career as Vibe began shortly after Aquaman disbanded the original Justice League. When young Paco heard that a new Justice League was forming in his own hometown of Detroit, he decided to give up his position as the leader of a local street gang, Los Lobos, to join up.[1] What made Ramon a candidate was his metahuman ability to emit powerful vibratory shock waves.
Vibe's presence on the team caused Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter to harbor some strong doubts about the new JLA, particularly after he got the League involved in a rumble with a rival gang.[3] However, Vibe soon proved his mettle during the League's battles against Cadre,[4] Anton Allegro,[5] and Amazo.[6] He stayed with the League through the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, when his powers played a vital role in defeating Despero.[7]
During Darkseid's assault on Earth during the Legends mini-series, the Justice League of America was disbanded and Paco left his JLA comrades to seek the familiar solace of the streets. Vibe was attacked by one of Professor Ivo's androids, and became the first Justice League member to be killed in the line of duty.[8] The Martian Manhunter brought Vibe's body back to the League's mountain sanctuary, where Vibe was laid to rest in a cryogenic chamber. However, Paco's dead form has twice been resurrected by evil-doers.[9][10]
One of Vibe's younger brothers, Armando, developed a similar set of vibratory powers and joined Booster Gold's team of heroes, the Conglomerate, using the code names Reverb and later Hardline.[11] He has since been depicted as the owner of a dance club named Reverb in the Little Tachyon section of Old Town Metropolis.[12]
In the Trinity maxi-series, reality is altered, and a living Paco is shown as a member of The League, an underground version of the Justice League.[13] However, soon after Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman return, his head is disintegrated by an energy blast, thus killing him again.
In a Justice League of America tie-in to the Blackest Night crossover, Vibe was reanimated as a member of the Black Lantern Corps, rising from his coffin in the Hall of Justice.[14] Alongside the Black Lantern Steel, Vibe attacked his former teammates, Gypsy and Vixen, until Doctor Light destroyed him.[15]
In DC's Free Comic Book Day 2012 sample during The New 52, a gatefold revealed various characters who will make an appearance in Justice League over the coming year, one of which is Vibe. Geoff Johns revealed that Vibe's return would be explored in greater detail in the third story arc of Justice League.[16] On August 26, 2012, DC announced a new Justice League of America title which would feature Vibe.[17] On November 5, 2012, DC announced that Vibe would star in his own ongoing monthly title.[18] It was written by Andrew Kreisberg and drawn by Pete Woods and debuted in February 2013.[19] In new continuity, Vibe's powers derive from being "caught in the event horizon of a Boom Tube", in which "interdimensional forces rewrote his DNA". Justice League of America's Vibe lasted for ten issues, with the final issue released on December 18, 2013. I also finally finished that Flash wallpaper I've been working on for months.
