Cisco hasn’t been the same ever since Flashpoint. He’s not as goofy, his brother died, and worst of all, he and Barry are no longer best buds. Needless to say, he really needs to get laid. Cisco is an amazing guy but has yet to find a committed lady to stand by his side. But that could change when he meets Gypsy, who will peak his interest, according to Executive Producer Aaron Helbing.
“Cisco will find in the “badass” Gypsy “a very strong adversary” as well as “someone he can’t stop thinking about,” reports TV Line, who spoke with Helbing.
What Cisco may like about Gypsy is how she helps him master his powers. “There’s gonna be a new visitor to our world named Gypsy... and Vibe will definitely get to learn some new skills as part of getting to know her,” Valdes said, according to CBR.
Gypsy aka Cindy Reynolds and Vibe (and Steel of Legends ) were actually introduced in the same issue -- 1984’s “Justice League of America Annual” #2. Many heroes on The CW also originate from Justice League’s “Detroit Era,’ including Martian Manhunter, Vixen and Vibe. Gypsy has appeared in the animated series Justice League Unlimited and is a member of Birds of Prey and the Justice League.
Gypsy can cast physical and figurative illusions into the minds of her enemies. Her powers allow her to blend into the background, essentially making her invisible. After mastering her abilities, Gypsy was also able to cloak others and can project her spirit from her body. Vibe has opened breaches to other dimensions, looked into the future and harnessed vibrational force into sonic blasts, but in the comics, he became even more powerful.
His sonic blasts can traditionally shatter just about any material, including steel and concrete. He’s able to track metahumans, even speedsters, like we saw with Zoom last season. What’s more is his ability to shut down the speed force entirely. In fact, when Amanda Waller recruited Vibe as a member of the JLA, Vibe was a failsafe in case The Flash ever went rogue. Vibe stopping the speed force would render all speedsters connected to the force powerless.
Hopefully, Gypsy can help Vibe reach his full potential. After all, Barry needs someone to put him in check from time to time.
The Flash returns Jan. 24.
