* IdiotBall: Firefly decides to work with a radioactive isotope and when he sees a news report get his name wrong, Firefly proceeds to fume about Gotham getting his name wrong, distracting him long enough to destroy the isotope by accident. Additionally, despite having absorbed dangerous radiation from the explosion, he refuses Blaze's insistence on to going to the hospital to avoid getting arrested, and continuously abuses his new powers to commit more crimes and evade capture by the Bat team or the police. This causes both his physical and mental states to steadily deteriorate to the point where he can't even stand anywhere without causing destruction, then loses his mind and tries to destroy the whole city out of spite, and winds up being both stuck in a special cell at Arkham Asylum and dumped by Blaze in the end.

* {{Irony}}: As Phosphorus, Firefly is burning hotter than ever before, yet (as Blaze so put it) the "spark" between him and his girlfriend is gone. In addition, his frequent abuse of his new powers and stubborn refusal to get medical help to avoid going back to prison have condemned him to an even worse fate: mutated possibly beyond repair, and stuck in a special cell at Arkham Asylum made to keep his powers in check.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: PlayedWith. At the end, one of the doctors at Arkham Asylum explains to Batman that if Phosphorus had been brought to them sooner, they might’ve been able to do more about his condition. If Garfield had just let Blaze take him to the hospital like she wanted to after the isotope exploded, he probably wouldn’t be in the state he is now.
