For me, he’s a mystery, except he’s NOT a ninja. I did imagine him having an Asian/ European background and training though. No connection to the USA, just a hired gun brought in by Cobra. After awhile, he realized he’s getting good pay and benefits, and getting a lot of action, so he just sort of became part of the team. Not really tied to CC ideology, just wants to get paid to blow stuff up for him.

When I first saw him he was a ninja. Then I get him and read
The file card. After that I came to My own conclusion that he was French. The only reason I thought that was because his file card listed him as Sabotage. That word came from the French word saboteur, I know that sounds weird but it made sense when I was a kid. LOL |

In my head, Firefly is the leader of what's left of his clan. He has renamed them all FIREFLIES. The one we see mostly is from France and only deals directly with Cobra Commander. This explains why different people see different aspects of the character
One is from the SAS,one is black, one is from southeast asia, so on so forth. |

Yeah, Firefly is Hama's version of Boba Fett. He looks really cool, but is little more than a whiny b----. DDP and "Battle Action Force" did a much better job at representing how deadly he actually was.

He really gets much better treatment in the Sunbow show, too. Haul Down the Heavens, Cobra's Candidate and Eau De Cobra he gets in some pretty good moments against the Joes. He does have a few poor moments, but overall seems to be Cobra's most competent agent.

Y'all need to watch The Mandalorian if you think Boba's a whiny bitch.

They pretty much pulled the same thing with the Mandolorian, IIRC. Watched a few episodes with someone who had Disney+, and best I can recall, he got to be cool one episode, and was getting beat up in a bar the next. As far as Firefly's origins go, I always viewed him as from the USA. He just seems American to me, and his voice on the show seemed to support that. Last edited by SnowCat; 03-11-2021 at 09:52 PM.. |

I always rolled with the French origins and doubled down on that after Grant Morrison introduced Fantomex in the X-Verse.
I don’t consider Firefly a ninja, but I do consider him a perpetual student, so I can see him learning the ways of a clan while still considering himself separate. I also think he’s calculated and collected, not some psychotic pyro. Really liked Max Brooks’ Hearts and Minds story to that end. But again, I’ve merged Firefly into a Fantomex type character in that his entire identity may very well be a fabrication.
