Firefly was my Ninja Trooper! Most of my Joe's were used so I never had file cards on most of them. So I would make up my own back stories. Basically he was a trooper that had been trained by Storm Shadow.
You are nailing it with these history of episodes. You covered my favorite Joe, Beachhead, last week and now I get my favorite Cobra agent, Firefly reviewed! Hellz yeah! Solid work JLS!
You should have covered his appearance in the 2nd JOE movie...it was kinda nice getting to see him on screen. I used to love FireFly as a kid , he was my Favorite COBRA villain if not my fav from the entire series and all of G I JOE
My friend was going through his Transformers toys that was in a box and found Firefly as the only figure in his box. He gave it to me and I still have him. It's a cool figure.
If Firefly is not a ninja like Storm Shadow because Larry Hama said so, then what is he, just a merc with spec-ops and ninja training? His design is a bit confusing. I'm only familiar with his 80s cartoon presentation. I always saw him as a demolitions expert. With a name like Firefly I simply expected him to blow things up and set things on fire. I don't remember him ever showing off any martial arts skills in the show. Good videos! Thanks.
As someone who grew up through the early 2000s and mostly watched cartoons its so fascinating to hear ge history and lore explained Im sure the diehards will find the show awful but id love to hear your take on gi joe sigma 6 if you haven’t already done a video
Back in the 80's Transformers and G.I. Joe used to come on back to back from 4 o'clock to 5 weekday afternoons on WTXF TV 29 In Philadelphia. Very underrated character in the cartoon, but he was always one of my favorites.
In, what I thought was a very funny moment, the issue where Firefly, Destro and Fred attack Snake-Eyes cabin Airborne and Spirit Iron-Knife, who are trying, unsuccessfully, to keep a stealthy eye on Snake-Eyes, charge up the mountain to help. Both a Native American. When charging Airborne tells to Snake-Eyes not to worry because "the calvary is coming." Spirit Iron-Knife didn't like that. Airborne then said "What am I supposed to say, the Indians are coming."
Sweet video! But if you bring up Ray Stevenson, you have to mention him as Tituss Pulo in HBO's series "Rome", his best tough guy role. He's absolutely phenomenal in a wonderful underappreciated series. Sorry, off topic somewhat I know. Regardless, you history videos are extremely well done and informative! Your passion comes thru very well! Keep up the solid work
My absolute favorite G.I. Joe character: he’s so dang awesome! Im actually trying to make an airsoft cosplay of firefly, but I’m a little stumped on the cross-bandolier. Anyone got any idea how to pull that off?
Do Roadblock. Especially when he lead the JOES after they were accused of treason. It was his finest moment. That arc really showed what he meant to the team and his leadership capabilities
thank you for the information yes I would like to know why did Destro wear a metal mask I found out in the movies while he was a one but is the comic books is the same
I had the first version of this Action Figure when I was a kid. I had no clue what a Saboteur was but, I knew that it was cool and Firefly became one of my favorite characters. I think it was the mystique of the madk AND the shadow camouflage. Kinda gave me a Batman vibe. 😎🇨🇦
Hello, JLS Comics could you please do a History and Origin of Ogun from Marvel Comics no one has done one of him yet, Thank you for your time and effort.
I have to correct you: Larry Hama did not answer letters back in issue 27. The editor, Denny O'Neil replied that Firefly was not a ninja. Since Larry wrote GI JOE page by page, I doubt that he knew that he was a going to make Firefly a ninja at that point....
Looks like a ninja, trained by ninjas, and he's not a ninja ? lol ok, i always thought his action figure was cool, camo'd out ninja but i didn't know much about him but im starting to like firefly now, thanks for the video. snakes, cobra commander and storm shadow have been my favorites
JLS Comics it’s no biggie. I think you did forget to mention Billy lost an eye, as well as a leg, following the attack in Springfield. I love waking up Saturday morning and know I’ll have one of your videos to start my day. Keep up the good work.
The cover image you featured does match up with the KEDR-B that you showed but his original submachine gun is a modified MAT-49. Great video pal. Firefly is my favorite enemy character in GI JOE. Keep up the great work!
Actually, Firefly just showed up in the mini Hama did that focused on Helix. He was hired by the group Helix is after to stop her. He does, but in the end a team of G.I. Joes shows up (looking for Helix) and he ends up caught. He betrays his employer by rating her out so she shoots him. In turn, Firefly detonates an explosive device on her which blows her jaw almost off! The mini ended with Firefly in Joe custody.
There actually was no love triangle. The cartoon and the comic had their own continuities. Larry Hama never watched or referenced the cartoon. Snake Eyes and Scarlett were always an item in the comic and Duke was never part of that. Sunbow/Hasbro decided to make Duke and Scarlett an item in the cartoon and Snake Eyes was never part of that...
I liked Firefly because he was Cobra's Snake-eyes in many ways. He and Storm Shadow were the two "Cobras" (not really in Cobra) that all wanted.
Firefly was my Ninja Trooper!
Most of my Joe's were used so I never had file cards on most of them. So I would make up my own back stories.
Basically he was a trooper that had been trained by Storm Shadow.
Rest in peace Ray. His Firefly was one of the things I actually liked in Retaliation.
G.I. Joe has the best back stories for almost every character. They each have their own series. Incredible.
You are nailing it with these history of episodes. You covered my favorite Joe, Beachhead, last week and now I get my favorite Cobra agent, Firefly reviewed! Hellz yeah! Solid work JLS!
Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying these. I have many more on the way
My favorite too
@Santonius, yer getting all giddy!
You should have covered his appearance in the 2nd JOE movie...it was kinda nice getting to see him on screen. I used to love FireFly as a kid , he was my Favorite COBRA villain if not my fav from the entire series and all of G I JOE
Outlawstar79 He was the only high point of the film. Much like his role in Warzone, Ray Stevenson was perfect as Firefly.
My friend was going through his Transformers toys that was in a box and found Firefly as the only figure in his box. He gave it to me and I still have him. It's a cool figure.
Firefly is a sneaky bastard, but I can’t help but like him. Great video.
I really loved the design in retaliation, he was vicious, sadistic and sarcastic and how cool the fireflies drones were, what's next, Gung-ho?
Firefly & Storm Shadow
Vs
Beach Head & Snake Eyes
Who y'all got???
These bring me back! Watching these are so awesome. Great job and please keep them coming. After watching these, I purchased the 87 GI Joe movie.
Fantastic! Firefly is one of my favorite COBRA Characters! So glad you heard us (your followers) out. 👍
I love how you narrate these! You voice reflects your passion for your content! It is greatly appreciated!
Damion Francis Thank you, that is nice to read 😎

Patiently waiting for Lowlight and Airtight 😎🇨🇦
Zebrapetey they’re up on deck soon!
I gotta tell ya: the way they introduced his 1991 toy outfit to the comics along with the Faceless Master stuff was pretty kickarse.
Baroness: "For Cobra!"
Firefly: "For personal survival and the promise of riches!"
Me: "For comedy!"
At least Firefly was real about is motives
One of the coolest looking GI Joe figures.
As someone who grew up through the early 2000s and mostly watched cartoons its so fascinating to hear ge history and lore explained
Im sure the diehards will find the show awful but id love to hear your take on gi joe sigma 6 if you haven’t already done a video
So glad I stumbled upon your channel my brother!
I'M SURPRISED HOW WELL HIS DEPICTION WAS ON SIGMA 6, considering it was a 4kids Production
Just got the Cobra island exclusive today so I had to watch this video. Thank you for an awesome and thorough profile!
Please do Spirit & Freedom next! Really want to know his history!
One of the coolest toys and best characters. Absolutely love this series of videos. Thank you for doing all this.
Another great video! I crave these vids and love when you put out a new one! I humbly request a shockwave history and origins vid!
Next. Do. who is copperhead
We are huge fans. Thank you for making these!!
I still remember finding the figure at the store. That was a great day
I like these, they remind me of all the things I've forgotten since I was a kid LOL

He was one of my favorite figures as a kid.
Very interesting video its always fun to learn new facts about these characters. Keep up the great work.

As always this surpasses expectations and truly entertains
Yeah im really enjoying these too. Please keep em coming!
Stevenson was also Black Beard in Black Sails for those like me that love that show
I hope you’ll do Overkill he’s one of the coolest Cobra villains along with Storm Shadow and Firefly.
He has a cool look. Total badass
Next do The guys from the slaughter house, The Renegades since they were only in the G.I.Joe movie. Your channel on G.I.Joe is great brother 🇺🇸👍💪
Sweet video! But if you bring up Ray Stevenson, you have to mention him as Tituss Pulo in HBO's series "Rome", his best tough guy role. He's absolutely phenomenal in a wonderful underappreciated series.
Sorry, off topic somewhat I know. Regardless, you history videos are extremely well done and informative! Your passion comes thru very well! Keep up the solid work
I'd love to see you do a video like this for Dusty
Hell Yeah! Thanks JLS, I was gonna ask about FF.
Good timing!
@@JLSComics can you do one on my dude Spirit soon?
Best GI Joe ever
I can’t wait for him to show up in the newer gi joe runs it makes me so happy to see gi joe and transformers get some new love and attention
I been thinking about getting a Firefly tattoo.
These are so good.
Now do Wild Weasel!
My absolute favorite G.I. Joe character: he’s so dang awesome! Im actually trying to make an airsoft cosplay of firefly, but I’m a little stumped on the cross-bandolier. Anyone got any idea how to pull that off?
I just got his classified fig in the mail today! It’s so fucking dope!
My fav. Mustve went through three action figures of him as a kid. Fun times.
I always get Firefly & Beach Head mixed up, even now
i have the same problem with xamot and tomax..
@@chapelpluto4484 they have scars on opposite side of the face lol
@@traptistraptis894 lol. It was a joke....
@@chapelpluto4484 oh hahaha my b bro
Me too must be the mask.
Great Job!
Do Roadblock. Especially when he lead the JOES after they were accused of treason. It was his finest moment. That arc really showed what he meant to the team and his leadership capabilities
Cool an all but Tunnel Rat!
thank you for the information yes I would like to know why did Destro wear a metal mask I found out in the movies while he was a one but is the comic books is the same
Firefly potentially could be a group.
Just got into gi joe, interesting concept. Just subscribed.
Firefly wad my 1st gi joe.
Wow, A Great one 👍Thank you
One of the best villians
I had the first version of this Action Figure when I was a kid. I had no clue what a Saboteur was but, I knew that it was cool and Firefly became one of my favorite characters. I think it was the mystique of the madk AND the shadow camouflage. Kinda gave me a Batman vibe. 😎🇨🇦
Hello, JLS Comics could you please do a History and Origin of Ogun from Marvel Comics no one has done one of him yet, Thank you for your time and effort.
Sure, I'll add Ogun to my list! Thanks for watching Jerome
I have to correct you: Larry Hama did not answer letters back in issue 27. The editor, Denny O'Neil replied that Firefly was not a ninja. Since Larry wrote GI JOE page by page, I doubt that he knew that he was a going to make Firefly a ninja at that point....
Firefly was a member of the Koga ninja clan.
Next, can you do Alley Viper or the Ninja Force? ? ?
Totally awesome figure
Did they make Chameleon a separate character Baronness in the comics?
The Bronze Age of DC Comics chameleons not in the comics as far as I’m concerned there is no chameleon in g.i.joe.
Looks like a ninja, trained by ninjas, and he's not a ninja ? lol ok, i always thought his action figure was cool, camo'd out ninja but i didn't know much about him but im starting to like firefly now, thanks for the video. snakes, cobra commander and storm shadow have been my favorites
Waiting for Shipwreck & Spirit-Iron Knife
You should make a video about The Night Creeper Ninjas from GI Joe and Fred 7. Thanks 👍 I subbed
Can u do a Bio Pic on my 2 favorite characters IRON GRENAIDER DARKLON ALSO NEMESIS ENFORCER?
Him and beachhead were my favorite your to pley with 30yr ago
My all time favourite cobra. No lie I liked him in gijoe retaliation.
He's a Pyro
I would see an history of Duke or General hawk
I guess all us kids made him a ninja because he looked like one.
That’s a barrel shroud, not a suppressor.
chuck sussman Thanks for commenting! That’s how Rudat describes it not me 😀
JLS Comics it’s no biggie. I think you did forget to mention Billy lost an eye, as well as a leg, following the attack in Springfield. I love waking up Saturday morning and know I’ll have one of your videos to start my day. Keep up the good work.

Who is Crocmaster?
I think played the NES G.I. Joe game.But i do not remember Firefly being a boss.
Cool dude
Scrap iron next please!
No talk about his live action movie appearance other than who played him?
Actually, Firefly just showed up in the mini Hama did that focused on Helix. He was hired by the group Helix is after to stop her. He does, but in the end a team of G.I. Joes shows up (looking for Helix) and he ends up caught. He betrays his employer by rating her out so she shoots him. In turn, Firefly detonates an explosive device on her which blows her jaw almost off! The mini ended with Firefly in Joe custody.
Cooooooobraaaaa!!!!!
Do Cesspool And Metal Head...
Can make a video about Scarlet, Duke and Sneakeye love triangle history
There actually was no love triangle. The cartoon and the comic had their own continuities. Larry Hama never watched or referenced the cartoon. Snake Eyes and Scarlett were always an item in the comic and Duke was never part of that. Sunbow/Hasbro decided to make Duke and Scarlett an item in the cartoon and Snake Eyes was never part of that...
My favorite bad guy.
favorite cobra character...well apart from the baroness 😏
Who wins?
Firefly v Beach Head
In a fistfight,beach head. A firefight...Firefly
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Firefly is beachheads brother
Can we all agree that these ninja masters are lousy judges of character.
He likes to burn things. 🔥
GI forking J-0E!
I'm a GHOST 🥶🥶🥶👻👻👻👻
I'm FIREFLY
Firefly = Sgt. Bob Barnes
...hotdogs..
Perfect weapon for Death Battle
I’m always tough that Firefly was a Joe.
Dang bro you forgot to mention Firefly live action debut in G.I. Joe: Retaliation portrayed by actor Ray Stevenson who was awesome in that role.
Tunnel Rat > Firefly
Any vet that knows demo would agree.
My 2 faves,because they both look like they got the right amount of stuff on their backs to get any job done single handedly
I was the 1000th like.
