Cisco Ramon (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

"Why does it always feel like for us to win, some of us have to lose?"

- Cisco Ramon to Team Flash

Francisco Baracus "Cisco" Ramon is a mechanic engineer at S.T.A.R. Labs and a vigilante known as Vibe.

Vigilante Life
Prior to 2019, Cisco gained powers of a Viber and became the vigilante Vibe, as well as a partner of The Flash.

Losing his Powers
"I gave up my powers by choice. You know, I'm making this so that I can save the person I love the most. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that, Hartley. The person you love the most is yourself."

- Cisco Ramon to Hartley Rathaway

At some point, Cisco took the Meta-Human Cure and removed his powers. Which he regrets doing it as he thought he could have sensed the Crisis and stopped it before it happens. However, Caitlin convinced him that it is not his fault in 2020.

Crisis Aftermath
After the Crisis, J'onn gave his original multiverse self's memories back. Later, he built a device that can replicate J'onn's abilities.

The Exorcism of Nash Wells
After Caitlin talked to Cisco about his regrets, Cisco decided to travel across Earth-Prime to explore the changes caused by the Crisis. A few weeks later, he returned with more knowledge on villains who exists on Earth-Prime and assisted Barry and Wally in defeating Turtle II. However, he was called by Nash and when he arrived, he realized it was Thawne controlling Nash's body. As Cisco soon found out Thawne cannot use his powers in Nash's body, Cisco started a fight which caused Cecile to use a taser on Thawne.

During Nash's "exorcism", Cisco was present and went into Nash's mind which helped him face his mistakes and "exorcised" Thawne out.

Construction of the ASF
Later, Cisco and Barry Allen built the ASF Machine with guidelines in Nora's journal. However, it failed and Cisco compared the unsuccessful machine to a paperweight.

Leaving to Atlantis
After realising the major key to create a Portal Machine to Mirrorverse locates in Atlantis, Cisco volunteered to travel to Atlantis.

Return
Four weeks later, Cisco returned and activated the machine. Despite the Atlantean technology instalment on the machine, it did not work well and was immediately failed. Later, Barry Allen was shown to have enhanced cognition and was able to finish Cisco's sentences before he started them. Cisco and Barry then worked together and deduced that by collecting Dark Matter photons from Eva's body into the Tachyon Enhancer can successfully activate the machine.

Later, Barry was shown to slowly losing his memories and Cisco started to have doubts over his new powers. When Cisco talked to Barry over this issue, Barry claimed that Kamilla is expandable, Cisco then held the Energy Gun towards Barry and threatened him. Frost and Allegra then entered the Speed Lab and Cisco attempted to destroy the Artificial Speed Force. Barry then leaped forward and blocked the shot. However, Cisco charged the energy with Velocity 0 and slowed Barry down. The latter then threw the Quantum Ball, an invention created by Cisco himself, towards the team. As Cisco and Allegra get hit, Frost used the Velocity X and gained superhuman speed against Barry. As Allegra teleports Barry back to the Speed Lab, Cisco shot Barry once more with Velocity 0. Despite their effort, the Quantum Ball Barry threw before the fight returned and knocked the three of them unconscious.

Invasion of Central City
After waking up, Cisco finds Barry crying over Iris and assisted him to bring her to the med lab. The team was then informed by Joe West that the countless citizens were replaced with Reflections. Cisco then activated shutters on all windows in the facility as well as issuing a city wide blackout including the facility.

Cisco and the team then discussed about methods to defeat Eva. However, Barry refused to reactivate the ASF and left the Cortex. As the team regroups in the lounge and meets the new Harrison Wells, the latter explained his method of surviving his death, with the team confused by his speech.

With the help of Wells and Iris, Cisco and Barry are able to reactivate the original organic Speed Force and allow Barry to regain his speed. As the team prepares for battle, Cisco utilizes his former equipment and upgraded devices to replicate his former powers, returning to the field as Vibe. However, the gadgets were damaged during the battle and Cisco fled to Frost. With them choosing to fight Eva's army hand-to-hand.

After Eva's realization of what she had done, Barry and Iris assisted her on restoring the normalcy of the city and Cisco returns to S.T.A.R. Labs. Cisco then bid farewell to Ralph after his extreme injury and to Harrison Wells who chose to return to his original time period in 1996, reliving the life he cherished.

 * Ergokinesis: The gauntlets are capable of shooting concentrated blue energy blasts.

Former Powers

 * Viber Physiology: After being hit with a Dark Matter wave during the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator explosion, Cisco became a Viber.
 * Dimensional Energy Manipulation: Cisco is able to manipulate energy from the Multiverse and open portals to multiple locations.
 * Dimensional Awareness: Known as "Vibing", Cisco can have visions of multiple timelines and predict the upcoming events.

Abilities
"No, I'm a genius. My guy's on a whole other level. His neurons are firing at super speed. Synaptic connections are off the charts. The quantum computers can't even keep up processing his results."

 * Master Engineer: Cisco is able to easily build complex machines.
 * Master Physician: Cisco is able to understand complex physics concepts.
