Harley Hudson was driven to become a crime-fighter as a young boy. He studied a wide variety of disciplines, eventually becoming an entomologist and chemist. He discovered that insects such as ants have super strength because they are able to coordinate their muscles. After teaching himself the same trick, Harley found himself able to do astounding things, and became the hero known as Firefly. His love interest was newspaper reporter Joan Burton. His enemies included Dr. Dread, Sneaky, and the Mummy. While he had no true superpowers, Firefly could optimize his physical strength and energy, which allowed him to become strong enough to uproot a tree, break through chains, leap across large distances like an insect, chuck bricks and stones, and remain under water for long periods of time. Later he gained the superhuman ability to glow, like his namesake. He had been a champion pole vaulter at NYU, and he was skilled with a lasso. He had an glider called the Fireflier, which could seat him and one passenger.
