Garfield Lynns (The Batman TV Series)

Firefly was a Batman villain who used a jetpack in his crimes. After an explosion of radioactive phosphorus, he developed pyrokinetic and radiation powers and changed his alias to Phosphorus.

History

A corporate saboteur, Firefly executed a few takedowns of rivals to GothCorp. Paid by the job, Firefly did each one with ease until Batman intervened. Though Firefly proved to be a challenge for Batman at first, he was taken down when Batman mimicked Firefly's high-speed jet-pack, which allowed him to play "catch-up" and took Firefly down.

Later on Mr. freeze hires Firefly to help him put his new plan to action: putting Gotham City in a never-ending winter However the two turned on each other and were stopped by Batman.

After escaping jail he joins Team Penguin led by The Penguin alongside Killer Croc, Ragdoll , and Killer Moth which was formed to finally eliminate Batman and become rich. In the end, Firefly was defeated alongside the team and captured.

When Rumor appeared He was captured by the masked man, wanting to be eliminated alongside Gotham City's other criminals and super villains. After being freed, Batman and Robin defeated Firefly and the other freed prisoners preventing them from killing Rumor.

Sometime later Firefly gained a new partner and lover, known as Jane Blaisedale, and they both stole a phosphorus isotope to upgrade his battle suit. When the Batfamily finds out about their romance Batgirl compares them to Joker and [[Harleen Quinzel (The Batman TV Series)]|Harley Quinn]]. An accident causes the stolen item to mutate Firefly into Phosphorus which has him acquire greater powers and abilities but is also driven insane. He infiltrates the Chemical Plant and plans to destroy Gotham City; but is foiled and ultimately defeated by Batman, then sent to Arkham Asylum. It was mentioned that had he gotten help sooner, he could have been been cured and now they can only keep his temperature down. A saddened Blaze also breaks up with him for good. He is devastated and tried to plead but she is escorted back to her cell and the guard tells him to sleep.
