First appearing in the debut edition of Valiant on October 6, 1962, The Steel Claw was one of the most popular comic book heroes of British weekly adventure comics of the ’60s and ’70s. The series focused on Louis Crandell, a lab assistant to Dr. Barringer. After an accident took his right hand, Barringer replaced the hand with a sophisticated prosthetic, but another accident unhinged Crandell, giving him the power to turn invisible if he received an electric shock, only his steel hand remaining visible. The deranged Crandell used this not terribly practical power to commit crimes until the balance of his mind was restored, and he became a crime fighter. Crandell went to work for a Government agency called the Shadow Squad.

this will be a great gift for someone you love.

An amnesiac Ray awakens in the labs of Rising Spirit Tech (RST), a company in Kuala Lumpur specializing in cybernetic enhancements for disabled US military personnel. CEO and lead scientist Dr. Emil Harting tells Ray he is the first successful human subject of the "Bloodshot" program, resurrecting and healing him through the injection of experimental nanite technology now occupying his entire bloodstream. This technology increases his strength and heals his injuries, but the nanites need to be regularly replaced and recharged or he will eventually succumb to damage and die again. When the nanites work at extreme power, they create a red glowing circle of light on Ray's chest.
