He's the mysterious saboteur that never shows his face nor misses his target...
He has the coolest uniform and a background that could allow him to rival Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow... And he's the #1 misused character in all of JoeDom IMHO. I really hope the new movie sets a new tone for him. He is the combination of both realistic and fantasy type characters and could be so much more. Anyone else hoping that FF has a new-found popularity and origin coming soon? I've always wondered if Hama ever had any other plans for him other than what turned out to be The Faceless Master storyline. |

I just hope he either wears no mask, or one that covers his nose.

To see Firefly being used well, you should check out the UK "Battle Action Force" comics - He was lethal & merciless in a way the Joe comic never managed. 'Operation Stubborn', which pits him against a team of SAS troopers in the mountains of a fictional Arab country is especially good. In fact, I think the BAF comics used him more than Hama did.

I agree that Firefly goes into the misused catagory.
As soon as he was an Ninja I was out. He was bad ass enough in his own right - he should have been able to bang with anyone and not have to be a clan-member of SE and SS or whatever the F they did to him. |

I think Major Blood was never given his due. Sure he has a crazy accent and that Steel gauntlet on his arm looked goofy but he was so evil. Who else would dare shoot a rocket that close to them selves. I would have loved to see more of him used just as evil and crazy as he seemed to me.

I agree the ninja angle is stupid for him.

The ninja thing was stupid. I think he'd be cooler if he was just a mysterious mad bomber type. The kind of guy who terrorist groups other than Cobra would hire to blow up government buildings or to start wars between countries for the purpose of moving in and filling the power vacuum. A good rival for him would be Chuckles. It would be like some covert superspy burn notice shit. That's way cooler than Ninjas.

Firefly has been an odd character.
In the cartoon he was nearly unused. His consistancy in the old Marvel run was...to say the least odd. I mean his first few appearences he almost seems to be a bit of a bumbler at first, and any compedance he does show seems to be in following instructions he strikes me as a competant follower but hardly a mastermind. When he meets Zartan in the swamp you'd think there would have been some recognition considering they have a past. But I can write some of that off due to everybody looking differant than they had. And when he faces off against SE, Spirit and Airborne at the cabin he doesn't seem to have any ninja skills. And again the Soft Master doesn't seem to recognize him. For a ninja Firefly doesn't come off as too capable, and considering SE, Soft Master and Zartan all spent time with FF, the fact that some ninja sense doesn't start tingling doesn't say much for their skills. BUT that all aside I had no problem with Firefly having some ninja skills. But its clear why he was given those skills...Zartan was becoming a likeable...maybe too likeable character so to transfer some of the heat on Zartan Firefly was slipped in. Of course that lime green suit was awful. Oddy DDP did a pretty good balence on FF, well mainly Brandom Jerwa did in Master Apprentice series, I mean he was a nice blend of both characters. I didn't care much for Firefly in Renegades. He was ok but not great. |

Why would he wear a mask that leaves his nose exposed?
