[ It's kind of an odd response - much more ambivalent than Cisco would have expected, and it seems like maybe there was more Tony wanted to say but stopped himself. Maybe he's got mixed feelings about the number of superheroes increasing. Territorial? Maybe. Or perhaps the reason there are more superheroes is there are more threats. Or maybe they were showing up from other worlds, kind of like how both Tony and Cisco showed up here.
There's a lot of possibilities, but he doesn't press for details. He's already done most of the interrogating, so when Tony turns things around and asks about Cisco's world, he's eager to answer and even things out a little bit. Doesn't want to seem like he's not willing to quid for his pro quo. Plus, he loves talking about heroes in his world. ]
Well, technically, the A.T.O.M. is kind of on a sabbatical. Everybody thinks he died, we found out he'd actually just shrank himself down to the size of a cockroach on accident and got stuck. He's normal size again now but he hasn't done his big comeback just yet.
[ None of which are things he would share with anyone back home, but he figures that spilling a few of Ray Palmer's woes can't hurt in this place. Besides, in hindsight it's a pretty funny story. Just how many guys is Cisco gonna mourn, only to have them show up again later on? It'd happened with Ronnie, with Eddie, and with Ray. Getting to be a pattern. ]
Anyway, there's the Green Arrow and his team. None of them have got superpowers, just mad archery skills and ninja moves. Plus, the Black Canary, who uses these awesome modulated sound waves to knock guys out. She took over from the White Canary, same M.O. There's, um. There was Firestorm, which was two guys who could merge together and then manipulate fission and fusion, but one of them died so. No more of that.
[ Cisco's bright enthusiasm dims for just a moment, his grin shrinking and becoming a little wan. Luckily, he'd saved the best for last. ]
But the one most people know best is the Flash. You got speedsters, in your world?
