HMS Scorcher (P258)
HMS ''Scorcher'' was an S-class submarine of the Royal Navy, and part of the third group built of that class. She was built by Cammell Laird and launched on 18 December 1944. So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name ''Scorcher''. She was launched by Thomas Beacham, a Foreman Driller employed by Cammell Laird.

Along with her sisters, HMS ''Sirdar'' and ''Scythian'', ''Scorcher'' took part in the search for the missing HMS ''Affray'' in 1951. ''Scorcher'' too had her fair share of accidents. She was damaged in a collision on 4 February 1956, and suffered a fire during exercises on 22 November 1956.

Scorcher (magazine)
''Scorcher'' was the name of a football-themed British comic magazine published by IPC between January 1970 and October 1974. ''Scorcher'' featured various well-known comic strips, such as ''Billy's Boots'', ''Bobby of the Blues'' and ''Lags Eleven'', a story about a prison football team. In addition, the ''Nipper'' strip was absorbed from the ''Score'' comic, and '' Hot Shot Hamish'' made its first appearance after that. Some of these stories later found homes in ''Roy of the Rovers'' and in ''Tiger''. IPC Magazines, the publishers of ''Scorcher'', always referred to it as a "paper" rather than a comic in its editorials, to distinguish it from more child oriented publications such as ''The Beano'' or ''The Dandy''. In addition to its realistic and comedic football themed stories, it contained factual items about British professional football, and advertisements not only for contemporary toys, games and confectionery, but also others aimed at an older readership, such as for the ...

''Scorcher'' is a futuristic racing video game by Danish developer Zyrinx, released in 1996 for the PC and in 1997 for the Sega Saturn. Originally announced under the name "Vertigo", the game focuses on special motorcycles that reach up to 450 km/h racing through dangerous tracks in a dystopian year 2021. ''Scorcher'' was one of the most graphically advanced Sega Saturn games of its time, enough so that Sega shipped an unfinished version of the game to third-party developers as a graphics demo for the Saturn. Reception Though the Saturn version of ''Scorcher'' was hyped in the press during its development, the completed game underwhelmed most critics upon release. Reviews typically commented that despite its prolonged development cycle, ''Scorcher''s graphics were still cutting edge, but that the gameplay design is flawed and overall mediocre.
