Powers and abilities
The energies from the Boom Tube had altered Cisco's internal vibration frequency making it no longer in sync with the rest of the world. (Justice League of America's Vibe v1 #1) It was said that Ramon was a living epicenter for vibrational frequencies. (Justice League of America v3 #1) This internal frequency could become agitated if it were in close proximity to other things or beings from outside Earth's dimension. Such a sense manifested as a migraine that notified him of the presence of an inter-dimensional presence nearby. Ramon could also tap into this power from beyond this universe allowing him to affect the vibrational tendons that hold reality together. A side effect was that it meant that pictures could not be taken of him with photographs appearing blurred. (Justice League of America's Vibe v1 #1)
Ramon was held as possibly one of the most powerful superhumans on the planet with his vibrational powers in theory capable of shaking the world apart. (Justice League of America's Vibe v1 #3)
