Let's just hope that putting Firefly in GI Joe 2 is the start of his rise to Glory.

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.

Another great character.
I personally like Scrap Iron as much as I do Firefly.

I don't know why Scrap Iron doesn't have an explicitly Iron Grenadier version... |

Seriously, Scrap Iron and Firefly are my two favorite Cobras followed closely by Major Bludd. Cobra Commander comes after that.

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.

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.

I agree. I know BF has gotten lots of glory, but originally, he was like FF in that he got very little screen time, but had a large following just on the fact that he looked like a cool character, and he was somewhat mysterious.

i hated when he turned into a ninja as well...
i also think firefly could (BY HIMSELF) put a major hurt on both the joes and the cobras if he wanted to. he's a wildcard...a game changer in whatever situation he's in. it's almost like he's too cool, or too good to be used fully bc he trumps a lot of the other characters in skill and cool-factor. making him a ninja was dumbing him down, in all actuality. he's like boba fett in starwars...everyone likes him, but he doesn't get enough to do...and is better than a lot of characters that get more face time. |

Firefly is probably my fav cobra from the ARAH era.
While underused in the cartoon when he was used it was always something big and devestating (ie took out the entire GI Joe Airforce by himself by putting acid in the fuel). The ninja stuff in the comic really turned me off though, It's been said how it created inconsistancies in the previous stories already. But my main problem was it was another attempt to connect every Cobra to Snake Eyes, which drove me bonkers. I also wasn't a huge fan of his character in Renegades, the whole firebug thing seemed like a forced fit to me. I kind of run him closer to the toon, doesn't say much, does only what he is paid for and always has devistating results. |
