Armando Ramon is Rupture, the brother of Vibe (Cisco Ramon).
History
Origin
Detroit native Armando Ramon was to be the first member of his family to go to university. He earned a football scholarship to the University of California, much to his brothers' dismay. Cisco wanted him to go to the University of Michigan while Dante saw no use in a college degree. However, he never got to go because Darkseid invaded Earth and a Boom Tube opened near the three brothers. Cisco was hit and gained powers, but Armando was never seen again and believed to be dead.[1] In reality, Armando had become a Breacher, capable of interdimensional travel, and became an interdimensional hunter under the name Rupture, in the service of Mistress Mordeth.

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Unique Physiology: The Boom Tube that opened up before the Ramon brothers bathed Armando with the same pandimensional energies that his youngest sibling was bathed in. While Armando was pulled through the rift unlike Cisco who was sandwiched between its event horizon, he ended up on another world featuring similar abilities but at a much greater level than those of Vibe.[2][3]
- Warp Wave Manipulation: Rupture can emit the same extra-dimensional energy his brother can as concussive vibrations. Armando uses his sickle as a focus for his energy, discharging it as vastly potent blast waves.[2]
- Dimensional Travel
- Flight: Armando uses the energy to fly and/or hover in mid-air, able to soar through the sky at varying speeds at will.[2]
- Energy Absorption: Rupture can siphon the energies that power Cisco and his own abilities in order to strengthen his dimensional warping capabilities.[4]
- Energy Sensing: Armando can feel and track the unique energy frequencies of dimensional breachers, enabling him to follow the trails of others even from across realities.[4]
