Firefly (Arkhamverse)

"How do you want to die? The quick, incinerating flash of an explosion? Or a nice...slow...BURN!"

- Firefly A Pyromaniac, Garfield Lynns, also known as Firefly, was one of the many antagonists in ''Batman: Arkham Origins. ''

Past
Garfield began as a petty criminal but soon graduated to major crimes as a terrorist centering around arson, torching huge parts of Gotham City in the process. But his fires soon raged out of control, leaving him horribly scarred by one of his own blazes. His body is almost covered with burns which made him wear a full-body flame-retardant suit when his out pursuing his criminal interests between bouts of incarnation in Blackgate.

The Eight Assassins
Firefly is one of the eight assassins hired by Black Mask, who was later revealed to be the Joker, to kill Batman for $50 million. He is first seen at the assassins' meeting in the Royal Hotel along with Bane and the Electrocutioner, where the client is revealed to be the Clown Prince of Crime himself. After the meeting, he flies off to the Gotham Pioneers Bridge, where he sets up 4 bombs. Later, after Batman discovers Bane knows his secret identity, he intercepts a broadcast from the GCPD about Firefly saying that he'll detonate the bombs if anyone but Batman approaches the bridge. According to one of Firefly's henchmen in a conversation with SWAT Division leader Howard Branden when he was held hostage, Firefly packed the bridge with enough explosives to have the resulting explosion be heard throughout at least Gotham City, if not the entire eastern seaboard region of the United States.

Knowing that Firefly's bombs will put innocents in danger, Batman goes to the bridge. He disables three of the bombs, one in the Boiler Room, one in the Train Station and one in the South Pillar. Afterwards, he confronts Firefly, and informs him that the Joker's been captured, and thus he has no purpose to continue in pursuing the bounty. However, Firefly admits that he doesn't really care about the money and only wanted to pursue it to get the chance to cause arson-related destruction to anything he can get his hands on including Batman. During their battle, Firefly finds the detonator when his flamethrower was knocked over one of the destroyed cars and proceeded to taunt Batman with the latter being "a bat that can't fly" but discovers that the final bomb does not go off, as the GCPD bomb squad managed to get the bomb before Batman. Enranged, Firefly chased Batman to the other side of the bridge as they continue to fight. As Firefly tries to retreat after unleashing a series of explosions near Batman, Batman latches on with his Batclaw, causing them to crash-land on a support of the bridge, where he destroys Firefly's jetpack and subdues him, leaving him to be captured by the GCPD.
