About this deal
In an interview with the BBC about the decade, David Waldron, author of Roleplaying Games and the Christian Right: Community Formation in Response to a Moral Panic, described the phenomenon. “Since fantasy typically features activities like magic and witchcraft, D&D was perceived to be in direct opposition to biblical precepts and established thinking about witchcraft and magic. There was also a view that youth had an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.”

Marvel Comics took inspiration from the British "Avengers" version of 'Hellfire Club', reusing the name for a group of highly powerful and elite mutants. The Hawkins Hellfire Club probably took their name from Marvel's version.
