Rampage (Valiant Entertainment)

Rampage is a nanite-enhanced enemy of Ray Garrison (Bloodshot).

History[]

The boy who would come to be known as Rampage was born Danny, raised alongside his older brother Pete by an abusive father on an Ohio farm. When his father beat Danny and locked him in the basement over simply accidentally ripping his clothes, something inside Pete snapped. He went into the basement, and convinced Danny to help him with a plan. Pete set the family barn on fire, and when their father came outside to put it out, he attacked him with a shovel. Pete was pushed into the fire, and Danny desperately assaulted their father with a bucket, killing him.

Killing his own father damaged Danny mentally. He spent the next years of his life willingly buried in the basement, not wanting to leave. His brother, having survived the fire but with large scars, became a powerful and influential businessman and scientist, and would feed and care for his brother. One fateful day, however, he decided it was time for his brother to be more, and roped his brother into the mysterious Project Rampage^[2]

Danny was injected with an experimental dosage of Nanites, transforming into a bulky, black-skinned supersoldier. He willingly became a weapon of his brother Pete's plans to "fix" a United States of America he saw as flawed, damaged and weak.

Personality[]

Danny isn't very bright. He wasn't incredibly intelligent as a child, and hiding himself away in a basement for most of his life did not help that. He also has a violent streak, but arguably his most important personality trait is his trust in and loyalty towards his brother Pete.

Powers and Abilities[]

Nanite Enhancements
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Stamina
- Regeneration
- Mind Control: Following modifications to his nanites by the reestablished Project Rising Spirit, Rampage is used as the focal point of a "Cloud Seeding Drone Array" that allows the organization to influence the thoughts of those affected. This seemingly functions similarly to a weaker, more controllable version of the Bloodshot Virus. In addition, this also can be used to allow him to fully control those in his direct vicinity, provided they aren't also nanite-enhanced.^[1]
