Cisco will be doing some vibing in “Versus Zoom.” Set photos show him reaching the palm of his hand forward using his power. We’ve been patiently waiting for Cisco to harness his abilities since we know what he’s capable of after meeting his evil doppleganger, Reverb. The “Versus Zoom” synopsis below (via ComicBookResources) reveals Harrison Wells will help Cisco (aka Vibe) learn how to open the breach.

“Equipped with the tachyon device, Barry believes he is fast enough to stop Zoom and wants to open the breaches to catch him. Harry strongly advises against that plan but after Barry convinces him, Harry reveals that Cisco has the power to re-open the breach. Meanwhile, Hunter Zolomon’s painful story on Earth-2 is revealed.”

Caitlin confirms Zoom’s real name is Hunter Zolomon. Earth-2 Jay Garrick’s doppleganger on Earth-1 calls himself Hunter Zolomon, who was originally thought to just be some normal guy. Turns out, he got his speedster abilities from some kind of shock therapy gone wrong. Harry finds out Zolomon’s actually a convicted serial killer and the trailer shows he’ll be stopping by STAR Labs once Cisco opens the breach. Now that Barry has Eobard Thawne’s speed equation, Barry sounds pretty confident he can finally keep up with Zoom. However, there may be more to Zoom’s powers. In the trailer, Zoom’s eyes go completely black as he tells Barry, “You can’t lock up the darkness.”

Barry may have some unexpected help from an Arrow character on Earth-2. A video leak shows Katie Cassidy’s Black Canary on The Flash . TV Line reports the Earth-2 version of Laurel Lance takes on the name Black Siren later this season. The video suggests she’s a villain, but who knows, Barry may be able to convince her to help him by telling her about the future of Star City. Arrow fans will be particularly excited about this crossover if recent death rumors prove to be true.

The Flash returns April 19.
