- "My point is... if his powers are linked to the energy that ties together the multiverse... if he can manipulate it..."
"Then he can open a breach to any Earth he wants." - —Barry Allen and Caitlin Snow[src]
Vibers are a type of meta-humans who have a link to the energy of the multiverse. This enables them to see places and people in time and space, as well as travel across the dimensions. After the crisis, it is presumed that they cannot access their powers or lost them.
History[]
There are several vibers throughout the multiverse.
Cisco Ramon received his powers after the particle accelerator explosion on Earth-1 however they did not manifest until Barry changed the timeline and prevented Mark Mardon from destroying Central City.[1]The resultant time rupture caused Cisco's powers to manifest. Since then he has grown in the proficiency of his powers able to effortlessly open breaches and use the energy in combat.
On Earth-2, the particle accelerator released radiation under Central City creating meta-humans. Among those effected was Cisco Ramon's Earth-2 counterpart Reverb. This viber was so gifted he could destroy a nervous system in one blast. He used his powers on Earth-2 under the employment of Zoom. [2]
On Earth-19 through unknown circumstances, Gypsy received dimensional powers which she used in her duties as a collector, as with her father Josh.[3]
Since the Anti-Monitor Crisis altered the physics of interdimensional travel and breaches through the multiverse itself , it is presumed that vibers cannot use their powers. The same problem applies for the interdimensional extrapolators.[4]
Physical manifestations[]
Vibe blasts[]
Vibers can generate vibe blasts with various colors.
- Colorless: Francisco Ramon's vibe blasts are colorless.[2] Cisco Ramon's vibe blasts were initially colorless as well, for his first time using vibe blasts. It is presumed that the colorless vibe blasts are a result of lack of control.[5]
- Blue: After Cisco Ramon made the Vibe gauntlets for himself to control his powers, his vibe blasts became blue. Later, he gained more control on his powers and does not need assistance to generate blue vibe blasts.[6]
- Red: Josh and Cynthia generate red vibe blasts.[3] The differences between red and blue vibe blasts are its density as the red vibe blasts are more lethal than blue vibe blasts as it can cause fire.[7]

Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
- Meta-human physiology: Vibers have altered their DNA and physiology to access dimensional energy.
- Dimensional energy manipulation: Vibers have a psychic link to the natural energies of reality, allowing them to connect with various vibrations of the multiverse and manipulate them for various effects.
- Dimensional awareness: Known as "vibing", vibers can perceive various events throughout time and space, letting them see into the past and future as well as parallel dimensions, even into the very Speed Force itself. Vibers can also communicate with the person they are vibing.
- Interdimensional travel: With their natural connection to the multiverse, vibers can open portals to other universes and dimensions.
- Mental connection: Vibers are connected by their powers and are able to observe each other if they're skilled enough.
- Vibration blasts: Vibers are able to generate powerful sonic blasts or concussive blasts of vibrations from their hands able to propel a full-grown adult through the air.
Weaknesses[]
- Power-dampening cuffs: Like all meta-humans, if vibers are wearing power-dampening cuffs, they are unable to use their powers.
- Super speed: If a speedster brings a viber like Cisco into "Flashtime" so that they move as fast as a speedster, they will be unable to open breaches.[8]
- Breach psychosis: If the viber suppresses their powers for too long, they suffer from breach psychosis.[9]
- Age: Based on the information that is known about Josh; Eventually as they age, all vibers will loose their powers and abilities due to the toll that it takes on their body as well as the internal energy that is required in order to maintain these powers as they age and get older (examples include creating energy blasts from their hands or creating Breaches to other universes and dimensions like Josh later could not do and had to use his special dagger to open rifts across the multiverse in order to travel all over it as an example). however, it appears that they can still use the power of dimensional awareness as well as mental connection by touching people as well as items but it is unknown if those abilites would also slowly diminish.
- The multiverse: During the Crisis, a wave of antimatter swept through the multiverse which resulted in various earths and universes being destroyed which had limited where vibers could travel to and from as well as use their other powers. Their powers and abilities are completely dependent on the multiverse itself because without it, none of them could work. After the crisis, the multiverse, various dimensions and the laws of physics were completely changed and altered; meaning vibers are presumed to no longer have access to their powers or abilities anymore; they may have lost them all together in any case and most likely did given the current state of everything. Even the interdimensional extrapolators don't work to open breaches to other Earths or locations.
- Magic: Like aliens and other meta-humans, vibers are not immune to magic and it's effects due to the fact that their powers are biological and not supernatural in nature.

Trivia[]
- When vibers reach advanced age, regardless of their diet and current health, they lose the ability to produce vibe blasts or other aggressive powers. As Caitlin explains, this is due to vibers no longer having a wealth of internal energy.[10]
- Non-aggressive abilities seem to use less energy for vibers, as despite losing his vibe blast power, Josh could still use his dimensional awareness.[citation needed]
- Should vibers supress their powers, they suffer breach psychosis. The symptoms are quite similar to being drunk/hungover.[9]
- This form of Vibers only exist in the multiverse of the Arrowverse. However in the comics, Cisco is the only meta-human who is known to have powers and abilities that are similar to vibers, such as blasts and breaches. There are also a handful of other characters including villains who also have some Similar powers like opening portals to other dimensions like pocket dimensions for example.
