Bloodshot isn’t actually hunting terrorists. He’s tracking down and killing former RST employees, who Dr. Harting fears will spill the company’s secrets to competitors. In the movie alone, Bloodshot’s targets include computer genius Martin Axe, former RST executive Nick Baris, and, briefly, Wilfred Wigans, who isn’t technically RST but who figured out how the Bloodshot technology works, thanks in part to some open-source code.
What we don’t know, however, is why all of these people left their (presumably) high-paying jobs doing cutting-edge research in the first place. Sure, Harting is a sociopath with a god complex, which probably means he’s not a great boss. Sure, turning a dead soldier into a mind-controlled slave raises some ethical issues. Without an official explanation, however, those are just possible reasons why RST suffered an exodus. We don’t know for sure.
And for that matter, why did Harting let everyone go in the first place? When KT tries to defect, Harting turns off her implant, making it impossible to leave. Harting clearly isn’t above using violence to keep his employees in line — why didn’t he stop the problem before it started, rather than force a supersoldier to clean up his mess later?
