Firefly

This article is about the Cobra human. For the Autobot Aerialbot sometimes known as Firefly, see Fireflight (G1).

Firefly is a Cobra-aligned human from the G.I. Joe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

He calls his gun Vera.

The true identity of Firefly is shrouded in mystery. Not even Cobra Commander, the mercenary's most common employer, knows his real name or true appearance. Only one thing is certain with Firefly: he's very good at blowing things up.
