The Flash has become a hot spot for metahuman heroes. In addition to the titular hero, Barry Allen and Iris West's daughter Nora is now hanging around STAR Labs with Elongated Man, Killer Frost and Vibe. That's a lot of superheroes to have on hand and, while the CW drama often splits up the characters for their own side stories, some definitely get the short end of the stick. This season, that's Cisco "Vibe" Ramon, who was taken out of commission early on when the villainous Cicada injured his hands.

Unable to use his powers without risking his life, Cisco has been relegated to team techie. Even if he is healed before the season ends, he's still left behind by all of the family-focused storylines. To that end, there's only real answer for what to do with Vibe: Move him to DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

The Flash has ported its characters to Legends in the past; indeed, most of the original Waverider crew started out in Central City, and last season featured Kid Flash during its final half, although Wally then left the team to continue finding himself. It wouldn't be out of the question for Cisco to pop aboard the Waverider, especially as he proved adept at flying the ship during last year's "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover.

Last week's episode of The Flash established that, because his powers are on the fritz, Cisco thinks he's an outcast among the team, and that's actually kind of true. Caitlin has Killer Frost and her biology know-how; Ralph and Sherloque are rendering Cisco's Vibe powers irrelevant due to their detective skills; and Iris is no stranger to hacking, and running STAR Labs tech. Nora is now sharing the super-spotlight with her dad, and the world, by and large, believes Vibe is dead. It's the perfect time for him to find his place among the other misfits.

Cisco is at his best when he's goofy and fun, but The Flash frequently makes him a sad sack, or otherwise places him in one downer situation after another. After being dumped and losing his powers, it's time he gets some fun back in his life, and the Legends can certainly provide that. Fighting magical monsters is just the kind of zaniness Cisco would be good for. Plus, strutting around different time periods and looking good in any and all clothing is something anyone -- but especially Cisco -- can get behind.

With Nate off with the Time Bureau, Cisco hits that sweet spot of being the well-rounded member the Legends need. He can do some tech support at the Time Bureau, superheroic action, and perhaps even help Constantine send the "mytheries" back to Hell with his Vibes. (Can he even do that? This is a good way to find out!) Although this isn't entirely the point, he can also carry a tune, not unlike the late, great Victor Stein. He could even finally break dance in the Wild West or in the 1990s.

Legends benefits from a rotating cast more than most shows and, although it has wisely brought in some "original" characters, there is something to be said for having a superhero veteran on hand. Sara, Mick and Ray are the only team members that have stuck around since the first episode -- yes, really -- and there will eventually come a time when they retire as well. Sooner rather than later is a good time to add Cisco to the roster, because he could certainly use some good Vibes right now -- and who best to help him with that than some Legends?
