==Trivia== * The Firebat was shown at the Heroes of the Storm Character Design Panel during [[BlizzCon 2015]] as a possible candidate for inclusion.<ref name = "Blizzcon 2015"> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qgzcqMhe_E YouTube - Heroes of the Storm : BlizzCon 2015 Hero Deep Dive (HD)], accessed on 2015-11-07</ref> ** Firebats made their debut in the original ''StarCraft'' (March 1998). Blaze was added to ''StarCraft II's'' Co-op Missions mode as an heroic outlaw for {{sc|Tychus Findlay (Co-op Missions)|Tychus Findlay}} in 2018. *Blaze's teaser video, "Need a Light?" was produced by [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDsO-0Yo5zpJk575nKXgMVA Rocket Jump], a hybrid studio/production company led by Freddie Wong.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIV-DSoM__k Heroes of the Storm - Firebat Reveal + Vancouver!]</ref> * Blaze is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. * Blaze is the first ranged tank hero in the game, the second being [[Mei]]. * Blaze's "Dominion" skin has the coloration and symbols of the {{Sc|Terran Dominion}}. * Blaze's "Smokin'" skin references the character of {{Sc|Trevor Jacobs|Trevor "Smokin' Joe" Jacobs}} from the short story {{Sc|Stealing Thunder}}. The symbol he has on his shoulders and bunker is the symbol of the {{Sc|Kel-Morian Combine}}. ** This character and skin are likely a reference to Blizzard Entertainment artist [[Trevor Jacobs]], as some other characters from the story share names with Blizzard employees. * Blaze's rank of corporal reflects the rank of firebat units in the first ''StarCraft.'' * Blaze is the only ''StarCraft'' Tank hero in the game. * The Jet Propulsion ability may be a reference to the fact that the early CMC-230 XF firebat suits during the {{Sc|Guild Wars}} were outfitted with jetpacks, but due to reliability issues the design was scrapped. * The Bunker Drop brings down a {{Sc|bunker}}, a terran defensive structure that allows infantry to take cover within it. * The three "{{Sc|stimpack}}" abilities in the level 1 tier of abilities references the stimpack ability in ''StarCraft'' and ''StarCraft II'', a chemical cocktail that served as a potent combat stimulant at the risk of harming the soldier. Firebats could use stimpacks in the first ''StarCraft'' and in ''StarCraft II's'' Co-op Missions. * Incinerator Gauntlets and Juggernaut Plating talents reference two of the upgrades firebats can gain in the ''StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty'' campaign and in Co-op Missions. * Fortified Bunker is an upgrade for the bunker in the campaign of ''Wings of Liberty'' and as an unlockable upgrade for {{sc|Jim Raynor (Co-op Missions)|Jim Raynor}} in Co-op Missions.
