Fourth man in the fire was an angel, should be silver.

I understood that story to be God/Christ in the fire....that's why I made it White for Purity/No Sin.

The other character that is arguable to be Christ is silver. All non-human heroes printed since Pats (when i believe silver started) have been silver. Brigades nowadays mean more as themes than the original translation/color definition.
