Punch A Nazi Week - Followers of the Torch

Torch and his gang were anti-Americans who fought the golden age Blue Beetle. Torch, himself, was actually a Nazi agent. If you're going to use them in a modern supers game, you can keep their Nazi roots by make them xenophobic alt-right types (maybe adding a tiki torch motif).
