    Has Vibe replaced Jaime Reyes?

    Since Jaime Reyes failed both times to live up to the status that DC was trying to pigeonhole him into, it seems that Vibe has in essence replaced him as the requisite Latino diversity quota filler.

    Jaime still has a large following. And, hopefully, DC doesn't view characters solely based on their ethnicities. There's more to both characters than just that.

    Let's keep both Jamie and Cisco, they're awesome characters with different abilities and personalities. They'll be important pieces to DC's future.

    lol minorities care about minority characters so much that this is the first comment in the Vibe forum in half a year.

    above is such a dumb statement. This is comics. It takes absolute lifetimes for a character to become mainstream or a complete company focus to push them in the comics.

    Look at Dam Wayne. It took being the blood son of the most famous character in comics. Being a Mary Sue. Pretty much killing off Tim Drake. Being the focus of a substantial number of direct to DVD movies. Somehow characteristically given the lead of the Teen Titans. Being given Beast Boy girl...just to be the Robin for people in the know.

    I just finished Vibe and came to say it was excellent. He's a strong character. He in no way is taking Jamie spot. There's not a limited number of spots.
