Firefly is a fictional character in DC comics. Originally a petty criminal named Garfield Lynns, he was a victim of Gotham City's severe poverty. Lynns was captured by Batman and Robin after his first robbery. Then, inspired by the glowing insect, Lynns took up arson as a hobby, but it soon turned to an obsession; he believes he can see visions in the flames.

In an attempt to burn Gotham to the ground, Firefly was horribly burned when a chemical factory he set ablaze erupted in an explosion. 90 percent of his body is now scarred by burns, and he is incarcerated in Blackgate Prison.
