BIO:
Firefly appears in the Fox Network series Gotham, portrayed by Michelle Veintimilla. This version of the character is a young woman named Bridgit Pike. Her brothers abuse her and force her to help them burn down buildings owned by Wayne Enterprises, at the behest of Oswald Cobblepot. She makes her own fireproof costume to commit the arsons, and uses a flamethrower. During one of the arsons, she accidentally kills a police officer by setting him on fire. She goes to her old friend Selina Kyle for help, and the two of them rob a brothel to get the money for Bridgit to leave town. Before Bridgit can escape, however, her brothers kidnap her. Rather than go back into their service, she burns her brothers to death. She then becomes a vigilante, going after Gotham's pimps. Jim Gordon confronts her during one of her arsons and tries to reason with her, but she turns on him with her flamethrower; however, a gas leak results in Bridget setting herself on fire. She survives, and is taken to a laboratory called Indian Hill, where the orderlies say she will be experimented upon.
