* PunchClockVillain: A flashback shows Bloodshot being sent on a mission where he thinks he's hunting the human trafficking ring responsible for his daughter's death. He calls up his wife to tell her he needs to do this for their girl. The reader sees the other end of the call, which is a uniformed woman in an office, reading a book while she recites a script she's clearly given several times before.

'''Bloodshot''' is a Creator/ValiantComics character created in 1992 by Kevin [=VanHook=] and Yvel Guichet. He was since rebooted by Valiant in 2012, with a new series by Duane Swierczynski.
Raymond Garrison is a former soldier living happily with his wife when he receives troubling news: an old war buddy of his has been captured in Afghanistan, and he's the only one who can save him. Regretfully accepting, he's injected with powerful {{Nanite}}s that increase his physical abilities and healing, and is sent for reconnaissance.

He is once again taken in by P.R.S, but he manages to escape. Now on the run, he's dedicated to his own mission: finding out who he truly is.
This series lasted for 25 issues, ending on November 2014, while also having brief team-ups with Unity, particularly during the ''Armor Hunters'' event. He would quickly transition into ''The Valiant'', where he would play a central role. With Gilad and the rest of the Valiant universe facing off against [[BigBad The Immortal Enemy]], Bloodshot was left as the last line of defense for then-current Geomancer Kay [=McHenry=], allowing them time to bond. [[TheBadGuyWins The Immortal Enemy unfortunately manages to kill Kay]], but before she died she stripped away Bloodshot's nanites and left him with one name: "Ray".
