When confronted with an aggressive, inhumanly evil monster, the modern response is to pepper it with bullets. When the beast proves to be Immune to Bullets, the primal response comes to the fore: Kill It with Fire! Except, sometimes that backfires. The evil twin of Man On Fire, Incendiary Exponent, and Out of the Inferno, this is where the heroes set whatever is trying to kill them on fire... which then continues to try and kill them. While on fire. And unlike some tropes, everything is not better with fire. Examples of Infernal Retaliation include:

Sometimes it is just a delayed reaction and the fire will prove fatal, but that is little comfort considering it may prove fatal to the heroes first. Might also apply to Nuke'Em if the target is gigantic. Eldritch Abomination: Bad. Eldritch Abomination that gets nuked, and stands back up pissed off and blazing radioactive fire? Worse.
