The Hellfire Club

The Hellfire Club was an English 18th century club of upper-class libertines, run by Sir Francis Dashwood[?]. They held notorious meetings at Medmenham Abbey[?], beside the Thames.

The name appear to have been picked up by comic books, the Hellfire Club being another one of the X-Men's enemies, this group of evil mutants has been around for at least a 2 hundred years.
