don’t try catching this guy in a jar
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
the Firefly
who are you as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline which unfolded in 1952 s
Detective Comics number 184 which was
expanded upon in 1959 s Batman number
126 1993’s Detective Comics number 661
and 662 and 2003 s Batgirl year one
number five the villain known as the
Firefly has been seen in several
incarnations the first debuting in 1952
was Garfield lynns a lighting effects
expert Linz used his brilliant lighting
techniques to create the illusion of
fire at a theatrical event lens what are
you doing are you crazy
in the ensuing panic he robbed the
patrons and escaped with Batman and
Robin in hot pursuit they almost caught
him but the world’s greatest detective
was misled by an actual Firefly which he
and Robin mistakenly thought was a
cigarette that Linz was smoking Linz
took inspiration from the mistake and
named himself the Firefly fashioning a
costume he used his manipulation of
lights to go on a crime spree eventually
Linz was captured when the dynamic duo
used his own lighting tricks against him
Batman
Color Me unimpressed
in 1959 the Firefly showed up in Gotham
City again this time however he wore a
different costume and was indeed a
different person rather than Garfield
lynns this was Ted Carson a playboy from
one of Gotham’s most prestigious
families Carson led Batman Robin and
Batman on a merry chase before they
caught him it turned out that Carson’s
fortune had been frittered away and that
the former millionaire had turned to
crime in order to pay his gambling debts
when the Firefly was reintroduced in
1993 he was a much darker character
again he was Garfield lynns this time a
pyrotechnics expert who used to be the
biggest special-effects wizard in
Hollywood unfortunately his love of fire
had unhinged him turning him into a
dangerous arsonist who was burning up
selected targets in Gotham yes you were
wrong Cass and I’ll show you how wrong
you were
I’ll show them all Robin learned that
Lin’s was an orphan and that he had a
sister named Amanda she revealed that
when they were children potential
parents would talk about all the places
they would go and they had adopted
Garfield and Amanda unfortunately they
all backed out of the adoption after
they got to know Garfield now he was
getting his revenge by burning down the
amusement park the zoo and all the other
places they promised they would go as a
family with that information
Batman was able to track him down and
capture him another revision came about
in 2003 in this retelling Lin’s was
again a Hollywood special-effects expert
however he intentionally caused an
explosion that caused serious damage to
an actress it became clear that Lin’s
had a sick fascination and an obsession
with fire and his career was over he
quickly joined forces with Killer Moth a
villain who had a unique gimmick forcing
other gangsters to pay him protection
money
unfortunately for Killer Moth Firefly
proved that he was more interested in
creating massive fires than in shaking
down other crooks a more recent
iteration of Firefly came along in 2013
Cindy cook an enormous ly wealthy and
famous film star was being stalked by
Garfield lynns a yes you guessed it
pyrotechnic specialist for the film
industry let me get you here
Linds
I make a child she also revealed that
until recently she had been seeing a man
named Ted Carson whose charred body had
just been discovered clearly a victim of
the Firefly kids tough break
hope you like a Batgirl and
Nightwing hunted for Lynn’s and found
leads indicating where he would strike
next
however this was a ruse his actual
target was Cindy whose penthouse he
torched but this in turn was also a
diversion the body inside wasn’t really
Cindy cook she had been kidnapped by the
Firefly it turned out that this Firefly
was actually Ted Carson and not Lynn’s
he had faked his death killing Linds
instead and then it switched the bodies
his whole campaign was an elaborate
trick to make Cindy run away with him
fortunately Batgirl and Nightwing
brought him to justice instead the
Firefly makes for a formidable opponent
especially after he switched to his fire
based weaponry when he’s around it’s
guaranteed that audiences are in for a
hot ass time cuz I got the hottest show
in town oh are you a fan of the
villainous Firefly for more comic book
