Torch (American rapper)

Kevin Christopher Belnavis (born July 12, 1982), better known by his stage name Torch, is an American rapper signed to Maybach Music Group as part of the group Triple C's. He grew up in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx before moving to Florida as a teen. While living in Miami, he met William Leonard Roberts II who would come to be better known as Rick Ross, a Miami rapper called Gunplay and rapper Young Breed; together, the four would go on to form the southern rap group Triple C's (aka Carol City Cartel).

Childhood

Torch was born Kevin Christopher Belnavis to his parents Lorna and Christopher Belnavis on July 12, 1982 in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx in New York. Spending most of his childhood on the streets of this rough neighborhood earned Kevin the nickname "Torch" for his rampant and unpredictable misbehavior. Fearful of the dangerous and seemingly predictable path her son was on, Torch’s mother sent him to Florida to live with his older sister. While living in Miami, Torch met his future Triple C’s group members Rick Ross and Gunplay.

Arcade (Marvel Comics)

Arcade is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in 1978's Marvel Team-Up (vol. 1) #65, created by writer Chris Claremont and writer/artist John Byrne. The character is a combination of evil genius and hitman who carries out his assassinations via various elaborate traps, often referred to as his Murderworld. He was the main villain and driving force behind the 2012-2014 comic book Avengers Arena.

Arcade's first intended victims were Spider-Man and Captain Britain but since Arcade's Murderworld games always leaves the outcome up to chance the duo defeated Arcade and escaped with their lives. Over the years Arcade has targeted a multitude of X-Men and members of X-Factor, X-Force and Excalibur. For a while he used the Crazy Gang as his hired henchmen with limited success. In Avenger Arena Arcade and his associates manage to kidnap 16 super powered teens and force them to fight each other and his latest Murderworld for survival. During the storyline several of the teens were killed but in the end Arcade seemingly dies as S.H.I.E.L.D.. Wolverine, Hank Pym and Captain Britain free the surviving teens. In the follow up series Avengers Undercover it was revealed that Arcade survived and that it was a clone that was killed at the end of the story.
