I've been thinking about this for a while. Is it that firefly is a crappy ninja? Firefly couldn't kill Snake Eyes so he got Zartan to help him. How does FF know Zartan anyway? Is it just through Cobra Commander? I remember Firefly referring Zartan to CC.
Also I assume Zartan was taught ninjitsu from Onihashi? Although the story only said he was taught how to make swords so who really taught Zartan Ninjitsu? Any thoughts?

They met in reform school. Firefly found out Zartan was trying to break into the biz so he tossed him a bone. Firefly was just trying to help him up his street cred.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Despite how cool he looked and how much fanboys love him, Firefly ain't all that. That's why.

Firefly was resourceful in noticing the innate 'gift' Zartan had to imitate those around him. Killing a ninja, in a CLAN of ninjas could be Much more troublesome than killing him while his guard is down, by impersonating someone close to him.

Pure and simple answer...Firefly could not get the job done by himself.
Firefly was a Master in the Koga Ninja Clan called the "Faceless Master". The Koga were associated with the Arashakage which is how he gained access to the Arashakge compound. Cobra Commander approached Firefly with a job kill Snake Eyes who he blamed for his brothers death. Firefly realized he couldn't take Snake Eyes by himself mostly because I think he knew SE knew he was up to something, but I also think Firefly knew well enough to subcontract the job to keep any heat off of his own ass. Zartan agreed but had a change of heart and tried to back out...but was bullied into finishing the job because they threatened to reveal his duplicity to Onihashi...which Onihashi kinda knew Zartan was up to no good anyway but had hoped he would still make the right choice...he didn't and accidentally killed Hard Master who was imitating SE. The one thing that kinda makes no sense is Firefly and Zartan don't seem to know each other very well when they meet in early issues but I guess that could be explained as Zartan had known him as the 'Faceless Master' and not Firefly who always kept his face covered. But one would think that if Firefly had pulled an Oswald on Zartan making him the patsy he would have tried to kill Zartan eventually just to shut him up from never revealing Firefly's part in all of this...but maybe he just never figured Zartan would connect 'Faceless Master' and Firefly, so he never considered him threat enough to eliminate. |

Because Firefly can't quit him. That's some broke back love right there.
