A well-known criminal in Gotham City, Garfield Lynns, adopted the name Firefly to carry out thievery and corporate espionage activities. Over his criminal career, he has collaborated with many supervillains and frequently faced off against the G.C.P.D and the Bat Family.
Lynns grew increasingly frustrated with the people of Gotham, who consistently got his name wrong and vowed to one day leave the city behind forever.
Teaming up with his girlfriend and partner, Dr Jane Blaisedale, aka Blaise, the pair planned to execute their final heist; to rob the Gotham Treasury and use their spoils to begin a new life elsewhere.
To do this, the duo broke into Blaisedale's old laboratory at Gotham U, stealing the sample of a radioactive phosphorus isotope that she had been working on before her project was shut down by the board of directors.
Successfully escaping with their prize, their victory was short-lived. While working on bonding the isotope to his jetpack's fuel tank, Firefly inadvertently super-heated the chemical beyond its flashpoint, triggering a massive explosion that destroyed their hideout and dowsing Lynns with harmful levels of experimental radiation. Absorbed into his skin, the radiation began to mutate his biology, permanently altering his physical form and granting him extraordinary meta-human abilities, which he could barely control.
Seeing these powers as a chance for a fresh start, Lynns decided to drop the alias for something more fitting, settling on Phosphorus.
