Cassidy

The famous pop star and singer known only as Cassidy enjoyed a successful career as a musician, selling out music venues all across the United States and abroad.  Fame went a bit to the young woman’s head and she showed a tendency to be vain and demanding.  Cassidy was renown for putting on a good show and her concerts were accompanied by spectacular light shows and pyrotechnics.  Garfield Lyons was one of the pyrotechnicians she hired for her tour.  Cassidy and Lyons dated for a brief time, but she broke things off in that he was possessive and creepy.  He did not take well to being dumped and continued to make crass and lewd comments to Cassidy; resulting in Lyons swiftly being fired from the tour.  

Incensed and unhinged, Lyons used his advanced knowledge of pyrotechnics to become the super villain known as Firefly and became obsessed with murdering Cassidy.  Batgirl managed to save Cassidy from Firefly’s first attempt on her life.  Afterwards, Cassidy tried to hire Batman to offer her personal security.  Although Batman was not interested in providing the poster preferential treatment, he was intent on taking Firefly down.  Batman and Batgirl succeeded in defeating the villain and Lyons was sentence to a long prison term at Ryker’s Island Penitentiary.  A relived Cassidy resumed her tour.
