The Harbinger Resistance is a fictional organization appearing in the Valiant Comics universe.
The Harbinger Resistance was started by the renegade Harbinger Faith Herbert, alias Zephyr, to combat the world dominating aspirations of Harbinger Foundation founder, Toyo Harada. Later on (according to Rai #0) this same resistance would be led by renegade Omega-class Harbinger Pete Stanchek, also called "Sting", a friend of Zephyr, who would mysteriously disappear around the year 2056. Leadership of the resistance would end in the hands of Peter Stanchek's descendant, John Stanchek, who would defeat Toyo Harada.
It is of important note that on a journey into the 20th century, Magnus, Robot Fighter would be the one to convince Zephyr to found the resistance in the first place, stating that it was her destiny to do so.[ volume & issue needed ].

The Pioneer Zephyr is a diesel-powered trainset built by the Budd Company in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), commonly known as the Burlington Route. The trainset was the second internal combustion-powered streamliner built for mainline service in the United States, the first such train powered by a diesel engine, and the first to enter revenue service. The trainset consists of one power/storage car, one baggage/RPO/buffet/coach car, and one coach/observation car. The cars are made of stainless steel, permanently articulated together with Jacobs bogies. The construction incorporated recent advances such as shotwelding to join the stainless steel, and unibody construction and articulation to reduce weight. It was the first of nine similarly built trainsets made for Burlington and its technologies were pivotal in the subsequent dieselization of passenger rail service. Its operating economy, speed, and public appeal demonstrated the potential for diesel-electric-powered trains to revitalize and restore profitability to passenger rail service that had suffered a catastrophic loss of business with the Great Depression. Originally named the Burlington Zephyr during its demonstration period, it became the Pioneer Zephyr as Burlington expanded its fleet of Zephyr trainsets.
Bloodshot is a fictional superhero created in 1992 by Kevin VanHook, Don Perlin, and Bob Layton, appearing in books published by the American publisher Valiant Comics. The Bloodshot character has had different origins and incarnations, but he is consistently a character empowered by experimental nanites injected into his bloodstream, a procedure that leaves a red circular scar on his chest, hence the name. 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). A side effect of the use of his powers is that his skin becomes chalk-white and his eyes become red. Other powers vary with each incarnation.
