Acknowledging Rai & Bloodshot's ties

Post by omega_override »

So in classic Valiant, it was made very apparent early on that Rai was descended from Bloodshot by way of his nanite infused blood and was intended to be his "idealized" parallel from the far future. So far, newer Valiant has not. Which begs the question: Do you think at some point current Valiant will acknowledge Bloodshot & Rai's ties to one another, be it a simple mention or an all out event?

I would guess so, just based on the fact that the two seem so similar in appearance, and Rai seems to be a natural evolution from the Bloodshot power set. However, as we have seen in VEI (The new Valiant), just because it happened in VH1, doesn't mean it will happen here. So, be prepared to either go a very long time without any tie, or there just not being a tie at all.

Hope so otherwise the style connection of Bloodshot and Rai are completely pointless. Thing is though we don't truly know just yet what Rai is capable of.
