Who is Garfield Lynns?

Garfield Lynns is a DC Comics villain who debuted in Superman #155 (1962). Best known as Firefly, he is a pyrotechnics expert whose obsession with light and fire drove him to a life of crime.

A Silver Age creation of the legendary Bill Finger and artist Wayne Boring, Garfield Lynns made his debut in Superman #155 back in 1962 and has since carved out a lasting niche in DC's darker corners β€” particularly the shadowy streets of Gotham, where he turns up most often in Batman and Detective Comics. Over more than six decades he's shared pages with heavyweights like Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, and even Green Lantern, suggesting a villain whose reach extends well beyond any single corner of the DC Universe. That kind of longevity β€” 1962 all the way through 2025 β€” is a quiet testament to a character who keeps finding his way back into the stories that matter.
