[DC] Gotham's Glass Cannon

I know next to nothing about this guy except that he was a boss in Arkham: Origins and is kind of your average, everyday dude (minus the pyromania and full body third-degree burns). MCU Yellowjacket was such a ridiculously dumb character to have in my collection, so I reasoned that I might as well repurpose him for a slightly less dumb DC character.

 

Firefly's backpack is just a heavily retooled version of Yellowjacket's. I purposely designed the giant yellow fuel tanks to be highly exposed so that he can be taken out easily by anyone with half a brain and a 9mm. Overall, the entire assembly is bulky, not very aerodynamic, and has exposed turbines on the posterior wings (not visible in this photo) that can be easily jammed with a careful batarang throw. Hell, someone with a pair of safety scissors could snip his fuel supply line running from a secondary tank valve on his right wing and cripple his entire offensive capability. He's a true glass cannon, wielding immense firepower with laughable durability.

 

Check out my secondary photostream (tagged below) for a breakdown of the backpack build! The fig formula is pretty simple - it's just the MCU Yellowjacket minifigure with a Lego Movie Robo-SWAT head. But really any head with red, pupil-less eyes should work just as well.
