Origin: I found out that I was a mutant when my parents and I were on a vacation four years ago. Our car's brakes went out, we skidded off the road and we hit a boulder. The car exploded, which killed my parents in a few minutes, but I wouldn't burn. I was stuck in the car that had collapsed all around me, and I could hear my parents screaming... The worst part was the awful smells. It got to me so bad that I wished that I could shrink down to nothing. The next thing I knew, I got my wish and I shrunk down far enough for me to escape the burning wreckage. I was so scared that I'd never grow back, but as soon as I thought of it, I was back to normal... minus most of my clothes. I walked to the nearest town and explained that I was miraculously thrown from the explosion. My grandma took me in and I got a job at a restaurant near my house for awhile, and I had fun just flirting with the cute guys who came in the restaurant regularly. I practiced my powers in secret and told noone about them for a long time, and took the name Firefly. It seemed appropriate and I didn't want anyone to know that I, Amiee Marie Reed, was really... Firefly! It seemed soo kewl that I had a secret identity. Anyway, one day, this guy comes into the restaurant and tells me I am pretty enough to be a model. Well, I'm used to flattery but he gives me his card. Jesse DeVard, his name was, who ran his own modelling agency! Well, long story short, I get my modelling career started about the same time as I get my superheroine one going. I hook up with Stan Steele, a super who doesn't bother keeping his ID secret, and we pal around together for a bit. Eventually my best friend Cyndee Klimbon finds out about my powers, but after the initial freak-out stage, she's cool with it. I've had some rough times now and then, and even got a scar on my shoulder that the plastic surgeons had a hard time blending in to make look like a birthmark, but for the most part I like my dual life and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I guess I've had both good luck and bad.

Personality: In her earlier days her naivete ruled her life for the most part, but she has been sobered by a near death experience when fighting a villian named Razor. This has made her less likely to hold back when fighting, knowing too well that it can be a life or death experience. She still retains much of her gleeful, flirtatious nature however.

Quote: "Hi, I'm Firefly. And you're toast." "Regular or extra crispy?"

Appearance: In her hero ID, she wears the costume seen above. Her hair is bright red, she has the green eyes and, until recently, the freckles belying her Irish heritage. Even at full height, Amiee stands just barely 5'4".

Tactics: Firefly will generally try and stay back a ways from her opponents and use ranged attacks. In her earlier days, she was fond of regaining her normal size, using a "growth punch", to come up underneath the jaw of an opponent. Since then she has found that she has the potential of doing serious harm to non-brick types with this attack, so she rarely uses it. Her recent encounter with Razor has shown her the benefits of keeping her distance as well. She'll either use her penetrating or her double knockback attacks against brick types, as these attacks are more likely to affect them.
