Garfield Lynns was orphaned at a young age, when his parents had perished in a fire he had inadvertently started. This would only be the beginning of his demented case of pyromania, which grew into the reoccurring catalyst of being returned to the orphanage by each new set of foster parents. Whether it be by his therapy reports, or being caught red-handed, Garfield was returned to his caretakers at the Orphanage and was often abused by most if not all of them for his behaviors. Or at least that is what he claims in his interviews. Truthfully, I believe that most cases of thus abuse were all in his head, perhaps the pyromania was speaking through him? Who knows truthfully. But what is confirmed is that he had the entire building burnt to the ground by the time he was sixteen. If that was not extreme enough, he had all of his caretakers trapped inside and took some sort of sick pleasure in hearing their screams of pain. Lord help me I hope there weren't any children that burnt down with the home. Years had passed, and Garfield settled for a pyrotechnicians' job for the rising band known as Silver Bullet. However his job had been short lived, for after his extreme stunts and over saturation with the pyrotechnics, Garfield was then fired by the lead singer of the band as well as his then girlfriend Cassidy Blaze.(Sigh, of course that is her name.) Vowing to get even with Miss Cassidy, Garfield began to set off all of the pyro stunts, and had trapped the band within a ring of fire. Before, he could in his words "hose them down" he was stopped when the Bat came literally crashing down and rained on Lynns' parade, and after a fierce battle, led to his unfortunate ailment. Falling into the flames he had caused, it was a miracle that Garfield had survived after being "saved" by our so called hero and taken immediately to the hospital himself. My God, so many degree burns. It was a miracle that he at least wore a mask to cover most of his face. Many times, he had denied treatment to help his burns, I believe he takes pleasure in the pain they provide him. Yet another victim of the Batman, I'm fairly positive it was he who gave Garfield the inspiration to dawn his own costume and fly through my city with that ghastly contraption on his back. Sigh. Because of course Gotham has to have a pyromaniac who can fly. Of course.
