Description
Vibe (real name Paco Ramone or Francisco "Cisco" Ramon) is a 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 . [3] Vibe made his live action debut in The CW 's television series The Flash as Cisco Ramon, portrayed by actor Carlos Valdes . Paco Ramone or Francisco "Cisco" Ramon's career as Vibe began shortly after Aquaman disbanded the original Justice League . When young Cisco 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. [4] However, Vibe soon proved his mettle during the League's battles against Cadre , [5] Anton Allegro [6] and Amazo . [7] He stayed with the League through the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, when his powers played a vital role in defeating Despero. [8]
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. [9] 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. [10] [11]
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. [12] He has since been depicted as the owner of a dance club named Reverb in the Little Tachyon section of Old To wn Metropolis. [13]
In the Trinity maxi-series, reality is altered, and a living Cisco is shown as a member of The League, an underground version of the Justice League. [14] 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 " storyline, Vibe was reanimated as a member of the Black Lantern Corps , rising from his coffin in the Hall of Justice . [15] Alongside the Black Lantern Steel , Vibe attacked his former teammates, Gypsy and Vixen , until Doctor Light destroyed him. 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. [17] On August 26, 2012, DC announced a new Justice League of America title which would feature Vibe. [18] On November 5, 2012, DC announced that Vibe would star in his own ongoing monthly title. [19] It was written by Andrew Kreisberg and drawn by Pete Woods and debuted in February 2013. [20] 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.
Vibe's sonic powers enabled him to create shock waves of considerable strength. His power could shatter concrete or steel. His agility was above average (and he was a superb breakdancer ). Under Batman's tutelage, Vibe became a more skilled combatant.[ citation needed]
Vibe's reintroduction in 2013 has sought to establish him as a more powerful character. Part of this was redefining his powers as having to do with interdimensional physics. Justice League of America establishes that Vibe's sonic waves have the power to disrupt the Speed Force , making him one of the few characters in the DC Universe who poses a serious threat to the Flash . [22] For this reason, he is recruited into the JLA by Steve Trevor , which exists to guard against the threat of the main Justice League going rogue. [23] In Justice League of America's Vibe #3, Amanda Waller says "Cisco Ramon might be one of the most powerful super-humans on the planet. He wields vibrational powers that could in theory shake the Earth apart. And he's the only person we know of who can find and track interdimensional breaches." [24] He is also undetectable by security cameras. [23]
