Overview[]
The British Boys were a racist gang prowling the streets of London in the late eighties. They mainly committed acts of vandalism and moderate violence. Four of their members, Col, Keef, Kenny and Wayne, were eventually used by Nergal to create Ironfist the Avenger.
Ironfist the Avenger[]
Ironfist the Avenger was a pawn of Nergal. The result of a fusion of four British Boys, it was a powerful four-headed, multi-armed monster tasked with hunting down John Constantine. Constantine easily defeated it by pointing out the monster had a Chelsea F.C. tattoo on one arm and an Arsenal F.C. one on the other. Conflicted, the creature killed itself.
