Plus Cicada stopped attacking when Nora shouted "Dad!" Maybe he did so because he misses his own daughter... Caitlin? Although he's most likely not her father as others have said I believe in his Arrowverse backstory his child was killed in a meta-attack and that's what led to his crusade.

Is it fair to say contact with the blade causes more permanent effects for a metahuman? I'm guessing this is why The Death of Vibe is happening (it's probably a title Iris uses on her blog)
