Firefly II

"The Ass-Kicking-League is gonna do what those hacks couldn’t do in a gazillion years! Though uh...there could be a problem there."

- Ted Carson Ted Carson, also known as Firefly II, is a newly inaugurated criminal that is part of the Misfits.

Early History
Not much is known about his background, but Ted used to work for Amanda Waller and was a massive fan of the rogues of Gotham city and beyond. He was quite dissatisfied with his job though, and quite disliked his boss.

Post Earthquake
During his cleanup of the original Firefly’s body, he got the idea to take up his mantle and become Firefly II, even utilizing his own fan-made helmet to complete the torched ensemble. He then started driving out, eventually stumbling into the diner where Kite-Man, Crazy Quilt, and the Ten-Eyed Man were holding their first meeting of the “Ass-Kicking League”. Stupefied at wonder, he immediately joins them as they plan to become A-Listers, deciding on killing The Question to cement this status.

The Misfits Strike
Finding Question at the Freight Yards, the motley crew attack him and basically get their asses handed to them on a platter by the hero, until Question blows up Ted’s flamethrower. Enraged, he jumps the hero and the rest of the team join in, until it gets to the point where they actually “kill” Question. In total awe, the team decides to go to Taco Bell, until it mysteriously explodes and so they go to Big Belly Burger to toast to victory. There, they come up with a plan: to kill a well-known villain. Their new target? Captain Boomerang, even though Ted knows he’s affiliated with the Suicide Squad.

Appearance
Ted is around 5’9, with olive colored skin and curly black hair. He’s of average physique, and wears the original Firefly suit with the exception of the helmet. His helmet more so resembles the one in his profile picture (shown above) just in a silver and black color palette. His flamethrower is also much different, having a more thrown together and less sleek look.

Relationships

 * The Misfits: Ted loves them. While he may idolize the other more popular rogues deep down, he thinks his teammates are the best and the coolest ones out there. He never misses a chance to call them cool or suck up to them in some fashion.
 * Amanda Waller: He’s not a fan. He thinks she’s an annoying cow, and would gladly flip her off if given the chance.
 * Other Rogues: His thoughts vary on them. When it comes to guys like Joker, Two-Face, or Scarecrow, he admires them but also thinks them hacks because their gimmicks aren’t as “cool” as the Misfits. But he hero worships the original Firefly, and has the biggest crush imaginable on Poison Ivy, feeling the need to bring her up as much as possible and thinks being a rogue would impress her enough that she’d swoon into his arms. He’s also pretty eh on Captain Boomerang, since he thinks the guy is cool but also doesn’t care if he lives or dies.

Abilities

 * Flight: While not a natural born ability, his winged jetpack allows him to glide with ease, and allows the weight of a passenger.
 * Fire: Ted has a new flamethrower that he made out of duct tape, cans of hairspray, and a lighter.
 * Basic Combat Knowledge (maybe): When Ted is mad, his punches pack a lot more. But usually, he’s a bit of a weakling that can get knocked down easily.
 * Fireproof: Ted’s suit is fireproof, allowing him to survive in high temperatures for longer amounts of time. However, if even a bit of skin is exposed, the whole suit is rendered completely useless.
 * Fanboy Knowledge: Due to being a diehard fan of rogues and heroes alike, Ted knows many fast facts about them. Coupled with him having information straight from Amanda Waller herself, he could very well be a threat if he so chose. But he’s an incompetent, so what can you do?

Trivia

 * Ted is around 20 years old.
 * Ted was part of a true crime club before the quakes.
 * Besides English, Ted knows three other languages: Spanish, ASL, and Klingon.
 * Ted lives in his van.
