Valiant / Acclaim Universe Characters
In the early 1990's Valiant comics was launched under former Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter. They started by using revived (and modified) versions of the Gold Key's three biggest heroes, whose rights they had procured. They established them in the same universe, and expanded it with new characters. Valiant eventually changed its name to Acclaim comics, before finally ceasing all publications.
But while it lasted it established a universe with a strong mythology. One where Spider-like aliens threatened the Earth, having a hand in the origin of some heroes (X-O Manowar) and battling the others. One where Harbingers (the Valiant equivalent of Marvel's mutants) were the new stage in human evolution. One where the superpowered blood of a twentieth century hero (Bloodshot) would create a dynasty that would stretch into the fortieth (Rai). And one where Quantum and Woody were not a couple.
