But where did they get the name “Hellfire Club”? Is it a demonic link as basketball players suppose or could it be something until weird?
Hellfire X-Men Club
Hardcore Marvel fans X-Men The comic books will already have made the connection. For those who haven’t, in 1980 Marvel introduced a mutant group against superheroes called Hellfire Club.
The X-Men Hellfire Club consisted of several elite mutants, some with chess-themed codenames such as White Queen and Black Bishop. The gang has a long line of their own comics but fans have seen them referenced in X-Men movies too.
In X-Men: First Class, the leader of Hellfire Club, Sebastian Shaw, was the super villain (portrayed by Kevin Bacon) that Professor X and Magneto faced. The White Queen, aka Emma Frost, played by Jan Jones, also appeared.
It’s quite possible that kids who love D&D are also comic book fans and could name their group after the mutant elite group. Then again, they can actually be date buffs.
Hellfire Club Sir Francis Dashwood
Marvel may have made Hellfire Club their own but the concept dates back to the 18th century. Hellfire Club was the name of several of the exclusive clubs in Britain with which high society came together.
It was founded in 1718 by Philip, Duke of Wharton and a handful of high society friends, but was called the “Hellfire Club” by Sir Francis Dashwood several years later.
