 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Firefly
By 1940, the comic book world was definitely waking up to the two-year-old success of its first break-out hit, Superman, and superheroes in his mold were proliferating.
The Firefly was Harley Hudson, a scientist studying insects (tho he was characterized as a biologist and a chemist as well as an entomologist).
The Firefly was next seen in 1966, when, in a story aptly titled "Too Many Superheroes", he (along with a majority of his compatriots) he made a walk-on with The Mighty Crusaders.

 Firefly | PopMatters Television Review
On Firefly, though distinctions between good and evil can be easy to make, more often than not, they are less obvious, contingent on social, political, and economic relations.
Add to this the twangy, country-western style theme song and you have a cut and paste show that knows from the start where it comes from and draws attention to the fact, most often to poke fun at the conventions.
