The Flash: 19 Easter Eggs And References You Have To See
8. The Future Of Cisco Ramone...
Harrison Wells isn't the only member of STAR Labs who has a slightly murky future ahead of him. Francisco Cisco Ramon, the eager beaver who plays Lady Gaga's Poker Face to the comatose Barry Allen and gets pretty excited when he wakes up (even if it's not exactly professional, from a scientific or medical standpoint), might also turn out to be a bad 'un. At least, that's if the show continues to pretty close to The Flash comic books, where he's at least a little nicer than that Reverse-Flash fellow. In fact, he's one of the other original superheroes who helps protect Central City along with the red speedster. Vibe is a relatively recent addition to the comic book Justice League, and one of the first proper Latino members to boot. He boasts extradimensional powers of vibration and shock waves, gifted to him after standing a little too close to a Boom Tube (a magical portal to the less-than-magical hostile alien planet of Apokolips). That might be a little too cosmic sci-fi for The Flash's current scope, but Ramon could easily have some delayed reaction to the accident that's causing all the other metahumans to be farting around. And his vibrational powers are one of the few that could stop Barry in his tracks, meaning he could still be a friend to Wells.
