Last night, I pulled out some old GI Joe TPBs and reread "Malfunction".
This TPB defines what I like about Firefly...he is a solo operative, that looks out for his own best interest. In this TPB, he steals a BAT, beating Cobra, The Dreadnoks and GI Joe in the process. Going back even further, to Marvel issue #126, we learn about FF's past and his involvement with the SS/SE/Arashikage. It had been a while since I'd read this, but it is indeed awesome how he prides himself in using a combination of his ninjitsu knowledge with modern technology to make himself the best at what he does. While I disliked the change to the green color uniform and the overall outcome of that story arc, it did elevate FF to being more than just another Cobra lackey. In the letters column of this issue, Larry even mentions he had been waiting to use this for years referring to "The Faceless Master". So now we look at the Sideshow Firefly..it just hit me that he does NOT sport the Cobra logo. Very cool indeed. |

IMO, there's nothing cool about making FF a ninja. He was coolest when he was just a mysterious Sabotuer. To each his own though. Sideshow FF is straight up awesome. I do agree that FF shouldn't be rocking the Cobra insignia, though. He's an independent operative that they hire out.

ff is by far a cooler character when he is a sabotuer for hire vs a loyal cobra agent imo

I also think the ninja bit is a bit silly for him. Otherwise he's a very badass character.

Personally, I like Firefly having history with the Arashikage. I think it gives his character much more depth.

that creates more of a problem. The more you define somebody like that the more you take away from them. Look at Wolverine and Snake Eyes as an example. They are at their best when they show up, do something cool then move on. But why you connect their story with everybody it becomes a problem.
