Fictional character biography

Pre-Crisis

Garfield Lynns

The first iteration of Firefly is introduced as Garfield Lynns, a down-and-out film special effects expert who attempts to rob a theatre by faking a fire, only to be stopped by Batman and Robin. He escapes, and in the darkness Batman sees a distant firefly, which he mistakes for Lynns' lit cigarette and chases in the wrong direction. Inspired, Lynns becomes the Firefly, using various lighting effects and optical illusions in his crimes. As a costumed criminal, Firefly has fought not only Batman and Robin, but also the Creeper and the Outsiders.

About

From the syncopated strike on the snare to the electrifying sound of the lead guitar and the bass, all bands make their mark by offering a different kind of entertainment to audiences. The Firefly band differentiates itself from the competition by singing not only about love or heartbreak but by articulating ways on how to prevent destructive fires.

The name of the band, which means Firemen Forever Love You, first jammed together during the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Christmas Party on December 22, 2002. Since then, the group continued to deliver their unique message through original songs, most of which are compiled in an album titled Langit. This 10-track album has the carrier single "Langit", which features Cesar Apolinario as the singer. It also includes the tracks "Kasama Mo Ako" featuring Rico J. Puno, "Trapik", "Kalikasan", "Sunog", "Taong Grasa", "Mr. Bell", "Hoy!", "I Love You", and "Nasaan Ka Na".

Firefly (TNT album)

Firefly is the sixth studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT. It was released in 1997.

The album was a comeback for TNT who split up in 1992 after the release of Realized Fantasies. It also marked a significant change in TNT's sound and is still heavily debated among the fans of the band. The music is more heavy and modern, reflecting the changes in the music business in the first half of the 1990s. It is also Tony Harnell's favorite album. New singer Tony Mills was told by Le Tekrø in 2007 to not even bother listening to it as they would not play anything from the album live.

The album was not as successful as some of TNT's previous albums, but still achieved some success in Norway and Japan. The band toured those countries in support of the album.

Track listing

The song "Soldier of the Light" was never meant for the album. It was a demo from the Realized Fantasies sessions and was put on Firefly because the Japanese record company liked it so much.

They opened their live shows with "Only the Thief" as an intro before launching into "Somebody Told You" with Tony Harnell doing the first lines of the songs lyrics before Le Tekrø opened with the song's riff.
