Garrison dies and is then resurrected and empowered by nanites, though this leaves him with amnesia. After Acclaim Entertainment bought Valiant Comics, writer Len Kaminski with artist Sal Velluto rebooted the character in 1997, now depicting him as a covert operative named Raymond Garrison who uses the cover identity of Angelo Mortalli while infiltrating the mafia. The original Valiant Comics character was a mafia hitman named Angelo Mortalli who is experimented on by Project Rising Spirit.

A side effect of the use of his powers is that his skin becomes chalk-white and his eyes become red. This gives Bloodshot enhanced physical traits, the ability to repair damage to his body, an internal database of weapons and hand-to-hand combat training, and a mental connection to computers (technopathy).
