Read more about Gin-Gr at: Wikipedia Official Site: Valiant The Valiant Universe is the fictional shared universe where most stories in American comic book titles that are published by Valiant Comics take place. The majority of the characters within said universe were created by Jim Shooter, and Bob Layton, the founders of the publisher. Valiant superheroes such as Bloodshot, Shadowman, Rai, X-O Manowar, Archer & Armstrong, Gilad the Eternal Warrior, Doctor Mirage, and Ninjak are from this universe, and it also contains well-known supervillain such as the Spider Aliens, Toyo Harada, Mothergod, and Roku. Jim Shooter's original vision for the Valiant Universe was likely similar to the New Universe vision he had during his tenure at Marvel Comics: a more realistic setting, involving fewer mythological concepts. A further distinction from most fictional universes in comics, particularly both the Marvel Universe and DC Universe, the actions and appearances of one Valiant character in one specific title may have visible and possibly lasting effects on another character from another title. This is evident within the original launch of the universe, given the revelation that Rai's traditional "white skin with red dots" image was created by Grandmother to honor the heroism of Angelo Mortalli, the original Bloodshoot. It is also revealed that Takao Konishi (the 44th Rai) even has Mortalli's nanite powered "Blood of Heroes" in his veins, granting him some of Bloodshot's memories and all of his powers. The blood and memories were also passed down to Konishi's son, the 45th Rai. However, this connection between Rai and Bloodshot does not exist in the Acclaim Entertainment Universe, or in the 2012 Valiant Universe.
Gin-Gr has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
