Torch has the distinct honor of being one of the few movie "monsters" to actually break the genre's rules: murdering children. Created in Puppet Master II, Torch is seen being abused by a rambunctious little boy who, pretending to be Indiana Jones, actually whips him! This leads to the rather ornery Torch to blast him with his flamethrower (it is assumed, but never actually seen). No one really knows whose soul inhabits the body of Torch, whose appearance, ability, and personality make him stand out as one of the cooler (no pun intended) puppets ever featured in the franchise despite having only appeared in two films. Some have theorized that Neil Gallagher, the main antagonist of the first Puppet Master, could be the soul trapped inside Torch's body because of both character's ruthless and malevolent behaviors.
