The Brimstone

[Neurodivirgin]

Is the Brimstone a reference to the Brimstone beach club?
Just wondering.

I don't thnk so? Most of the power ups is religious tied.

Brimstone is a recurring element in old depictions of hell, so I'd assume that's where it comes from.

"Brimstone is an alternative name for sulfur.

It may also refer to:

Fire and brimstone, an expression of signs of God's wrath in the Bible, or a style of Christian preaching that uses vivid descriptions of judgment and eternal damnation to encourage repentance."

Also from BoI:Rebirth wiki:
"Brimstone's item icon is the the alchemical symbol for Brimstone also known as the Leviathan Cross. The symbol is often falsely identified as being Satanic or anti-Christian."

Hm. It sort of reminded me of the Brimstone Beach Club from Monkey Island.
Oh well, I never understood religious ♥♥♥♥ anyway.
