The Flash Season 3: 10 Things You Might've Missed In 'Flashpoint'

5. The Richest Man In America

Cisco undergoes a big change in the Flashpoint reality, as he is now the head of Ramon Industries and the so-called Richest Man in America. As well as a fun twist, this is a reference to something Cisco said in season two.

In Welcome to Earth-2, Cisco had this to say about his alternate self:

“I always thought in another life I was, like, I dunno, a really wealthy, famous inventor. Sort of like Earth-2 Elon Musk, only with less RBF, obviously.”

Well, congratulations, Cisco, you were right!

Similarly, Flashpoint Cisco warns Iris that crime-fighting leads to evil speedsters vibrating a hand through your chest and stopping your heart. And he should know because Reverse-Flash did the exact same thing to regular Cisco back in season one.

These could be simple callbacks for the fans to pick up on, but it is more fun to imagine that both Ciscos were subconsciously picking up "vibes" from different universes.
