Unlike most of Marvel's mutants who manifest their superpowers naturally during puberty, the "psiots" of Valiant's comics must undergo a dangerous, experimental procedure that's more likely to kill them than turn them into superbeings. What's more, even if the process works, there's no telling what power they will get.

In 2015, Sony Pictures announced they'd start their own superhero cinematic universe using the characters of Valiant Comics. The plan was to use Bloodshot and Harbinger to start things off. Now it seems, while that's still in play, the titles have been flipped around.
