One of the major players in Valiant's superhero universe is Project Rising Spirit – a nefarious private arms contractor that created, among other many other things, the nanite-enhanced commando called Bloodshot.

Could they be responsible for Donald Trump too?

In today's aptly titled Bloodshot U.S.A. #1, writer Jeff Lemire and artist Doug Braithwaite infect New York City with a machine-made Bloodshot virus – secretly released by Rising Spirit to "make America strong again" – that turns the city's entire population in rampaging agents of chaos.

But, before the action begins, we flash back a year to sit on a session of the defense contractor's executive board, led by CEO Morris Kozol, who grouses that Americans have gone soft since 9/11 and need a pandemic to whip them back into shape:
