HAHAHHAHA! Does anyone have any good pics of him?

[Geggy Tah]

Anybody who wants to read the Sentry should pick up the TPB. It reprints the mini-series (6 issues) and the 4 one-shots. It also includes the behind the scenes of the whole hoax with interviews from Stan Lee, Joe Quesada and Wizard. It's a good read.

who, or what, is the Void?

[Gaz]

The Void IS the Sentry, or rather his dark side, his more base impulses given a living shadow form.

[The Fury]

He's Marvel's answer to Super-Man
In powers and design yes (same goes for Hyperion), but Superman's popularity means The Sentry will never be a match for Superman in market value.

ohhh ok, thanks :)

[Aubergine~!]

who, or what, is the Void?

In addition to what others have said, he was also somehow able to reach the darkness in other people, and somehow hurt them through that. He did this reaching mostly through black tendrils.

In the climax of the sentry mini, the Void was basically trying to destroy all creation, which gives you an idea of the power levels we're talking about here.

Oh, and the Sentry has also been stated to have stalemated Galactus.

Sentry can't last as a character. Too cosmic for the Avengers. The only one who's been able to pull off that kind of power level and an extended run as an Active Avenger is Thor.

Yes, and without Thor, that spot is handily open...
And he doesn't need the Avengers to exist as a character at all. It may give him monthly exposure, but he'll "last" for as long as writers want to use him.

[Tobias March]

Also if he has somehow managed to accomodate the Void persona within him since that miniseries and now, perhaps the balancing of the two has depowered him slightly.

Whats the name of Sentrys wife? Also... I know what his powers are but how did he get them?

Lindy Reynolds is her name.


He got his powers from (no joke) regularly drinking a serum. He was soon addicted to it.

[Doom Hammer]

I have a question, it's something I never understood about the original mini.

In the final comic entitled "The Sentry vs the Void," a reference is made to a hero dying in the final battle against the Void. It's on a page where Spider-Man and Doc Ock are fighting side-by-side, I believe, and in the next panel, Doc Samson is frantically digging through rubble looking for this dead hero.

Now, what? Who was it? Did he really die? Was it just some random civilain?

Always bugged me...

It was some third stringer superhero(GLA level) ,whose name we never know, who died.

I see.

That's kind of sloppy, IMO. The comic was focused on the collective efforts of the Fantastic Four, some Avengers, some X-Men, and various other big-time Marvel characters, and then Jenkins kills of some nameless small-fry (amidst the frickin' titans) without making that clear.

Or, maybe I'm just not so perceptive.

The mini is still one of the best things ever, though. :D

JMS also did the same thing. in his first AMS story arc he had Morlun kill off new German superhero, whose name we never know.

The one thing I dont understand about the Sentry is that at the end of the mini series we come to a conclusion that Reed Richards activates something and everyone forgets about him again. Maybe Reed kinda remembers (there is a hint there).
That's all good but how come in NA#1 Daredevil is going to see the "most powerful superhero ever" how does DD know who is etc.. how does this fit in with the Marvel continuity.

It's easier to understand once you realize that Bendis isn't very interested in continuity, internal logic, defined powers, or character personalities. He wants the freedom to write whatever and not be held accountable for it. Fortunately, he is working for Marvel during a time when editors don't really do anything to earn their pay.

[TEMPUS]

Yeah man I hear what your saying, Bendis and marvel are starting to go very 90's again, lots of crappy titles and sloppy stories, it had been so good and now im expecting another clone saga.

[Crimson]

We know very little on why Richards remembers Sentry and why he sent Daredevil... Bendis is a big fan of revealing things down the line so I think the answers will be answered in The Sentry arc.

It'd be pretty impossible for Bendis to be a fan of Sentry and not know people don't remember him. From what was shown in NA#1-3 it seems people know very little on Sentry other then what Richards has told them.

[LordGorto]

Yeah man I hear what your saying, Bendis and marvel are starting to go very 90's again, lots of crappy titles and sloppy stories, it had been so good and now im expecting another clone saga.

Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa. :eek:

Don't go throwing wild statements like "another clone saga" around so quickly. Granted, Marvel isn't keeping it's continuity as straight as possible, but it's not like their messing heavily with canon. These are just some... changes. Have some faith in the House of M. The company. Ok, and the story.

[Ivan Isaacs]

I just looked at the final page of NA #7 (*cough* the last two panels can be found in the spoiler thread *cough*) and it seems that Bendis has a VERY GOOD explanation at hand for the Sentry but boy will this piss of a lot of people!

Didn't see that coming and I'll be pretty happy if Bendis won't change that.

[kelvingreen]

He's Marvel's answer to Super-Man
took em long enough! LOL
To be fair, they'd been doing Superman-clones for a while before the Sentry. Hyperion's one obvious example, and there are at least three or four versions of him, and then there's Gladiator, although given his affiliation with the Legion-esque Kree Imperial Guard, it could be argued that he's more a version of Superboy.

And of course there's the Marvel Universe version of Clark Kent (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/kentclrk.htm), but it's unclear whether he's a MU version of Superman too, or just a plain mild-mannered reporter...

[kelvingreen]

Sentry can't last as a character. Too cosmic for the Avengers. The only one who's been able to pull off that kind of power level and an extended run as an Active Avenger is Thor.
If you believe the rumour going around right now, the Sentry appearing in New Avengers is Thor.

I don't believe it myself, too many inconsistencies, but that's not stopped Bendis/Marvel before...

[kelvingreen]

Well, it's just so that the someone can be killed off without upsetting the Marvel character vault. But it is cheap, I agree, and if it's going to be a nameless Z-lister, why not do what Millar did in Wolverine and get a real Z-lister, like one of Black Axe or the Skrull Kill Krew.

Well, given what happens at the end of New Avengers #7, it's unknown whether the Sentry miniseries is even in Marvel Continuity. We'll have to wait and see, although I'm not convinced that it won't be a big ugly mess. Grant Morrison I could see pulling this off, but not Bendis. His strengths lie elsewhere.

But, the last time everyone got Sentry-wiped, Doctor Strange was "left behind" to make sure the deception held, so perhaps Reed didn't wipe his own mind this time so that he could be around to make sure nothing screwy happened? Also, the last page of the miniseries hinted that the Sentry still remembered at least a little bit of his past.

actually if you go back and read NA #1 you'll see that reed sent matt to talk to rob about the sentry

[jadegiant77]

I think that the 616 Jenkins subconsciously remembered the Sentry and made those comics based on his adventures. Sentry is NOT Thor.

[Chris Thomas]

latest issues changes all this. perhaps also makes the trade----

perhaps spoiler***




not in continuity. or at least, not accurate

My thoughts exactly.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Ok Ihaven´t read NA#10.
What is the Void exactly? Who was that shadowed villain in NA#9? Do we know how powerful Sentry is now?

[Shaun-zilla]

who, or what, is the Void?

or more to the point since the latest new avenger's issue...


The void was a Phychic representation of the VOID that was in his mind. Which MAstermind put there, after wiping his memory. This cause everyone to forget him..ever exidting So if he were to ever use his poweres, it would conjure the void (Himself) to kill his love ones. Which was why he was scared to use them.

I think thats it, feel free anyone to amend that if im wrong.

What are the Sentry's powers, and how powerful is the void?

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

What are the Sentry's powers, and how powerful is the void?


I love Wikipedia:

The Sentry's powers are derived from a serum which causes his molecules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecules) to step an instant ahead of the current timeline. Though most of his powers and their limits are still unknown, he has displayed several abilities similarly possessed by DC's Superman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman). Such are super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, and flight. Aside from those mentioned, he can also project energy fields, control light, and has vast psychic and mental forces mainly used for holding his physical powers together, though it is not yet mentioned whether the Sentry can use them the way Professor X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_X) and other psychics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychics) use theirs; the only psychic abilities he had displayed so far is implanting his memories inside Paul Jenkins' mind and calming the fury of the Hulk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_%28comics%29).

It may be theorized that the Sentry also has the ability to produce hard-light constructs similar to those of Dazzler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzler)'s when it was revealed that the Void is a just an expression of his repressed persona, and thus his creation.

With Marvel dubbing The Sentry as the world's most powerful superhero, and with the serum causing a photosynthetic reaction to his body, completely altering his state of consciousness, it is nonetheless conceivable that Sentry's powers are limitless, and may even rival those of the Silver Surfer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Surfer)'s and Phoenix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28comics%29)'s.

He has very similar powers to and the Hyperion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_%28comics%29), as they too were based on Superman.

[steve2275]

[Doom Hammer]

There's something I've always wanted to know about the Sentry, but was afraid to ask:


Does he need to use the bathroom ever?


No. No, he doesn't.

[botch]

Sentry owns, and unlike the black and white superman if someone had to kill a max lord in the Marvel U he would be ok with it because he knows it had to be done and not give this person so much crap because he has no balls.

What I really loved about the sentry mini series is the flashback art.

Has the style for the 60's as Jack Kirby, John Byrne for the 70's, Frank Miller for the 80's and Rob Liefeld for the 90's. Not to mention Jae Lee's own art. Jae Lee owns time and space.

[botch]

Sentry also seems like he can last, like the new mini series shows he deals alot more with disasters and world events than just a rogues gallery of villains so i guess he can still be in new avengers. While heroes are fighting bad guys, he;s literally saving the world.

but yeah he must be pretty badass to be able to take on galactus.

[Tony Starkz]

Yea the new mini rocks all types of socks.

[TheSentryLives]

I got a chance to e-mail Paul Jenkins and he was very courteous to me and I asked him some powers related question to him. I am going to paste his reponse so that way some of you have something to get from the creator himself.

"You are quite right that I am sometimes intentionally vague about this stuff" because I don't want to be handicapped by what he can and cannot do. I will say that his power potential remains untapped. In a current issue (not yet published) he does something very impressive that we have never seen him do before. His power also goes up and down depending on how well he is doing mentally.

As far as max level... I am damned if i know. :) I think he is not as powerful as the "Sneeze away a galaxy" idea but he DID crush Terrax's hand, seemingly with ease.

That's just my opinion.

[Citizen V]

He's Marvel's answer to Super-Man

I dont think so.Marvel has alot of rather powerful heros,to think that a single being will be more powerful than any of them..seems far fetched.

As for the rumor that Stan Lee and someone else originally created Sentry..that`s a lie.It shows how low Marvel will go these days to get their dollars.

As for a previous Sentry,there was infact a character who had the name "Sentry".The character was just forgotten.

[Doom Hammer]

"Lie" is a bit powerful. It was a marketing gimmick that tied strongly into the plot of the story, and a lot of people saw through it, anyway. It was kinda clever, actually, and it's not as though Marvel tries to perpetuate this "lie". They admitted it was a ruse, so there's no reason to get upset.

[Tony Starkz]

Just read #1 to 4 again last night straight.

This is a really good mini Jenkins is writing here and I love how he has a character as powerful as the Sentry dealing with a lot of personal issues and mental issues instead of showing off his powers non-stop.This is probably Marvel's classic way of storytelling at its finest:A powerful hero with immense power has as much problems and issues as any ordinary human would have such as being unsure of himself,looking for a sense of identity,and not feeling important.

Kudos Jenkins.

[Grizsly]

Ah yes. The Sentry.

I am a brand spankin' new member here, and this is my first post. I own part of a comic store in Westchester, NY, and yesterday we got into it about the Sentry. I continued to think about the Sentry last night and this morning, and since I don't have any comic book message boards that I'm part of, I decided to seek one out and see what people were saying.

Personally, I cannot STAND this lame character. Granted, the concept is cool, and his explosion into the mainstream Marvel Universe through the pages of New Avengers was memorable (ripping Carnage in half?!?!). But am I the only one that feels 1000% gypped since that?

First of all, the Sentry arc in NA was pretty much a rehashing of the Sentry miniseries. A bunch of Marvel U. heroes facing off against "The Void," while the Sentry himself battles his own inner demons. OK, whatever, the original mini was kind of obscure, not many people read it, again - whatever.

But since that arc we have not seen ONE shred of Sentry in New Avengers, and that brings me to his current miniseries.

There seems like a lot of Sentry fans here, but bloody friggin' hell - am I the only one just ******* SICK of this stupid inner psychological battle the Sentry CONSTANTLY has with himself?!?! "Oh no, it's the Void!" (AGAIN!!!)

To top it off, all we get are cheap little snippets of battle, like the Terrax scene from #1, but beyond that, it's all about the Sentry, the goddamn stupid Void, and his friggin' PSYCHIATRIST, for crissakes!!!

This has gotten VERY old, VERY fast, for me, anyway. I think Jenkins' story stinks on ice. Here's a character that Marvel wanted to make a HUGE splash into the Marvel U, and after succeding, they then let him continue to wallow around in his own pathetic self conflict, again and AGAIN and A-GODDAMN-GAIN. . .HOW MANY TIMES DO WE AS READERS NEED TO SEE HIS INNER STRUGGLE WITH THE VOID????????????

I'd like to see a more capable writer take on the Sentry's reins, and show some GROWTH as a character, where he can get past this ridiculous void concept and start being a regular part of the Marvel Universe. There's only so much of this crap I can take, and that level ran out awhile ago.

I still read the Sentry issues since, well, I'm part owner of my store and I can do that, but I'll be damned if EVERY TIME it comes out I don't end up throwing that worthless rag down on the counter, further disgusted with the absolute endless inner torment this character deals with, OVER AND OVER AND OVER!

I can't believe I'm the only one fed up with Jenkin's stupid story. Even Romita, Jr.'s art can't save this piece of crap mini series.

I'm not saying I need Sentry vs. every bad guy in the Marvel Universe, or anything like that. I can appreciate a good build up and solid story without the need for blow out battles and the whole traditional superhero schtick. But it seems like the Sentry has yet to move past the point he was at in Jenkin's original series, which was YEARS ago. Talk about a stagnate character.

In conclusion, I'd just like to say I'm not here to start fights or anything like that - I really am dissappointed with how Marvel's handled the "return" of the Sentry, and would like to see the character do more in New Avengers, get the hell over his stupid Void problem, and be given to a more capable writer.

Does anyone here agree? Whether yes, no, or sort of, please discuss. . .

Have to disagree with you.

All the layers hiding who Sentry truly is and all the inner torment he endures only makes him more appealing to me.This is truly the Marvel's way of humanizing their characters,and yes Sentry has it really bad,haha.The fact that he's got all this power is a total headcase is more effective than just having him be an average cape in tights looking like Superman.

The Sentry arc in NA and the current mini were my only means of exposure to the character and I must say Sentry is one of my favorite Marvel characters to date.

The arc in NA seemed like setup for the mini,so it only made sense that I didn't truly comprehend everything that transpired.

However,the current mini is just WOW.It is one of the best books being published by Marvel without a doubt.How often do we get a comic that doesn't have a predictable ending right?All the twists and turns can make you go dizzy,but I love the amount of complexity and emotion Jenkins has injected into this book.JRJR's art is so classic.I look forward to it every month and is at the top of my must read list.Hopefully the rumored ongoing sees the light of day.

I can't comment on the old mini because I simply wasn't into comics at the time,but I have heard good things as well.From what I hear,it was darker.

Fear not Griz,Bendis has said that Sentry will take center stage in the current arc of NA dealing with the Collective so there ya go! :D

[Will.S]

I can't comment on the old mini because I simply wasn't into comics at the time,but I have heard good things as well.From what I hear,it was darker.
Pick up the first mini, I think it's in it's second printing. You'll be able to tell which printing it is when you see either the "S" or a small Sentry head on the outside spine of the book.

A good deal of the things from the second mini and the Sentry arc will make more sense after reading the first, it's really great stuff.

[Billy Parker]

Sentry is kick ass! I've read all Sentry comics and they are sweet! The old TPB and new stuff!

Also, calm down with the Sentry bashing up there. You'll be ok, sheeeesh!

Wait, having the Void show up time and time again is unpredictable?

The Sentry ******* blows. I've had it with him and his whiney bull. I hope he dies in Civil War and we never hear about him, Bob Freakin' Reynolds (ooh, what a typically dull name), the Void, his stupid wife and dog, or anyone else associated with him and his awful mythos.

Stupid waste of a character.

I love the concept of Sentry being so powerful yet being vulnerable to his dark side which has a physical form.I hope they keep the Void around because his existence makes the Sentry so interesting.

You may have partly answered my question here. During the Kree Skrull War the Avengers fought a big purple android called The Sentry. Is this blond Sentry guy in any way related to that character other than by name? Thanks.

They are twin brothers ;) .

[goat956]

Can the Sentry really last as a character though? I mean there is only so much you can do with someone who has ultimately limitless power that reaches to such an extreme level. Just like Superman, Sentry holds weilds many powers. While the members of the Avengers have one or two "powers" or abilities each, this guy has like twelve. So what I'm picking at here is this: do you think the storyline of the Sentry will collapse because of the absence of realistic restraints on the hero himself?

[Drakenred]

Well lets see, Just how many Issues has SuperMan lasted?

Granted it does seem like Clark Kent is the smarter than Superman wich has me wondering if Superman is suffering from DID or something.

[Chaosopher]

Is the Sentry really Tyler Durden?

[Breadfan]

COME ON NOW, Marvel should be shot for this. The Sentry is the most incohesive, misplaced superhero of the Marvel Universe!!

All of a sudden there is this "most powerful hero" of the Marvel Universe? And to boot he has been kept in a super prison?

This hero and story has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

I just got done reading the Limited 8 part series and afterwards I thought that I was schizophrenic. I definately had voices in my head and they were saying, "this is a bunch of crap."

Yeah I say holes in the story. First off the Sentry is basically from the super-soldier serum. If this is true how the hell does he gain COSMIC LEVEL POWERS?? (they are making it out to look like Sentry can take out Galactus or maybe even the Living Tribunal)

Second what the hells is up with the schizophrenia plot here? IS he Schizo or is he really two different people???

What about the Negative Zone, why the hell doesn't his "cosmic" level powers work there??

Marvel please there is no saving this character and he is just going to bring down the other characters and maybe even the Marvel U.

Better bring in Bendis or Millar or someone who can write this guy off.

IMHO
Breadfan.

[Nick MB]

I think it's been pretty firmly established by now that Sentry is schizophrenic and his other personality is the Void.

Also, I like him. I think "cosmic powers + mental problems" is as good a set-up for a Marvel hero as any.

[unkiedev]

There has been many a gripe session around these here parts about the Sentry.

Personally I think he's alright. I'm actually more interested in his Dream World version of the Marvel Universe then I am in what he's doing now. I think his biggest problem is that few writers handle him well...I'm saying that even though only about three writers have ever handled him.

I like that the first Sentry mini was all a head trip, but I stopped reading the second Sentry mini half-way through. I want less void and more Sentry.

-I hear ya on this one, breadfan. He's a mixed bag...I'm interested in seeing where he goes from here.

[Dirk Anger]

He's on the cover of New Avengers #24. This should make things very interesting in Civil War land...

[Eumenide No 2]

What happened to all the hype?
All this talk about how great/cool/awesome Sentry was, and how fnatastic his New Avengers stint would be...only to have him basically do nothing on the book,

[unkiedev]

I think what happened was Bendis thought he could use him for whatever. After the Announcement was made the Sentry's hype went through the roof so they let Jenkins do another mini-series. Since The Sentry was going to have a new crazy mini, Bendis felt he couldn't run wild with the character lest it contradict the Sentry's main title.

Plus on another note: The Sentry is unbelievably powerful. Everybody else is a rather street level hero. Bendis couldn't have the Sentry show up all the time, because it would make the rest of the team look like chumps.

-ON a different note: What's up with the Sentry's wife? Is she nuts for sticking around with this guy? A schitzophrenic with unlimited cosmic powers who half the time thinks his wife is dead? YIKES! Couples therapy time!

[StoneGold]

COME ON NOW, Marvel should be shot for this. The Sentry is the most incohesive, misplaced superhero of the Marvel Universe!!

Or you should be, for not bothering to do a search to find any of the other "I hate Sentry" threads. Really, you thought you were being original with this?

Yeah, he's a great character. When he's on the ball, he's basically the most amazing hero out there. However, if all of a sudden he has a schizophrenic episode, then you better be as far away as possible. Sort of like your greatest dream and the same time your greatest nightmare.

[Phrozen]

Seconded.

and ripped straight from PADs Captain Marvel which was much much better.

[Deadpooligan]

Just to clear a few things up:

The Sentry can't take out Galactus (since Superman couldn't, and they're essentially on par), and as far as I know, nothing short of the Infinity Gauntlet can even come close to taking out the Living Tribunal aka Marvel's God.

His powers were dervied from a super saturated super-soldier serum, which superbly allows his molecules to jump into the future.

His schizophrenia can manifest itself physically as two different polarities (The Sentry and The Void) simultaneously.

The negative zone is the anti-deus-ex-machina in writing to any superpower.

Wow, at least two of the things you're trying to clear up are completly wrong.

To be fair, somebody could read every single Sentry appearance and still not know what the character is really about.

Right on the money. That's one things about the Sentry I kinda' dig on: His story is so messed up there is no way to really know the deal. I'd certainly say at this point his only true super-power is that of ABSOLUTE Retcon: Any single thing could happen to him or others around him and it could all be written away as a head trip.

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Well, for one, he is much stronger than Superman. Him kicking Terrax a** proves that, as well as the Void easily defeating the Hulk. So, him stalemating Galactus is in the realm of possiblity.

And, I really don't know about that jump to the future stuff either.

EXACTLY. Besideds, who says he kicked Terrax's ass. That only happened in his own comic book. I could see the Sentry go up to Terrax again and say "You want I should kick your ass again" to which terrax replies "We've never met before, that was all in yer' head, Crazy boy."

I thought all of those fights were just Sentry being crazy.

[bjtrdff]

No, those fights are real.

Spider-man was the one who commented on the Sentry stalemating Galactus, and the Sentry actually did take out Terrax. The 'stuff going on inside his head' only starts after that.

And that said, there's no doubt that Sentry is more powerful than current superman. Sentry would literally eat Supermans children.

[KOSLOX]

Eating children? That doesn't sound very heroic...must be the Void influence.

[bjtrdff]

The children are evil....so it's ok.

And as a second point I didnt really think of regarding his power vs Superman, The Sentry subconsciously manifested a monster that basically stomped the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic 4, Inhumans and Dr. Strange. And there's no doubt that that fight was real too. Superman had a rough time beating Thor alone.

And yet puny Peter Parker continues to dominate in terms of popularity. I guess character power level is not the only important factor when it comes to entertaining people. Face it, there isn't going to be a Sentry movie.

[KOSLOX]

I think it'd be really difficult to make the Sentry into a big blockbuster family movie, unless you completely ignored his origin. He's a schizophrenic mass murderer and a drug addict, not exactly what you would want on a 5 year old's t-shirt, or in a Mac Dee's Happy Meal.

[Mick Martin]

Yeah, but Sin City didn't have guys in bright spandex and capes flying around.

Don't get me wrong, I think a Sentry movie could be great. I just don't know if American audiences are ready for a super-hero with that much darkness. I mean, yeah, there have been films for characters like Spawn, Punisher, Blade, Wolverine in the X-men, but you know those guys are darker characters as soon as you see them. Sentry's trickier because he looks like your average, wholesome, stars-and-stripes super-hero, which might get a lot of parents angry when their kids start crying once their new, favorite superguy goes all dark and starts slaughtering people.

Like I said, I think it could be very interesting. I just wonder whether or not studios would be skittish about it.

[stormkid]

Actully Schizophrenia is not multiple personality disorder it's a unique disease of the brain, its a common misconception. They are two different disorders but sometimes share the same symptoms.

It's called publicity. You don't market a Sentry movie the way you would Superman. It's just like Watchmen--if that movie ever moves past the pre-development stages. You bill it as a dark film. Seriously, it's not rocket science. Besides, we've seen it done with Star Wars--Anakin, anyone? He's one of the protagonists of Episodes I and II then goes off the deep end in Episode III, and they still made tons of money, and there wasn't some sort of crazy, parental backlash.

[KOSLOX]

True, but everyone new that anakin was vader for the previous 20 years. If they were to make a sentry movie I think it would play alot more like Se7en (In tone) with special effects, than say a Superman or Spiderman movie. Honestly the more I think about it the creepier Sentry is. He should just make the jump to a villian and give the NA it's first real villain nemesis.

[Christopher O]

He should just make the jump to a villian and give the NA it's first real villain nemesis.
That's too easy. He's much more interesting as he is now.

[kel25]

I love the guy.The fact that he's a nutjob ,matched with immense power is awesome.

Yeah this is why I find him to be a bad idea. Sure it works for a while but how long can he stay like that? Eventually the stories will get more confusing to the point no one knows what is going on and they will spend time retconning the character to try and fix it.

[Phrozen]

Who said it would need to be a family film? Sin City wasn't a family film, and it did just fine.

Sin City was written much better and is far more entertaining then anything The Sentry has been in.

[bjtrdff]

I still dont understand how the movie thing came out. Shellhead kind of just replied to my post about it when i didnt mention it whatsoever.....

But anyway, I think a Senrty movie could be done well, but it would have to walk a fairly thin line in order to do so, or else it could be either horrible or unsatisfying.

They don't have to make the story exactly like the comic book (i.e. Superman Returns). I would love it if they made the movie in a way that you just cannot figure whether the Sentry truly exists or is it all in the mind of schizo.

My favorite part of the new series was when the Sentry was really just some crazy who made up all of the marvel universe.

[Shyft]

Sentry is excellent, and the way New Avengers use him is pretty cool. (ie, they cant always rely on him,cause he's kinda crazy.)

However, i do have to agree that THREE mini's about his struggle with the void etc etc is a bit much. I would have prefered the 3rd mini, the one with Romita Jr. art, to have been about Sentry versus some other big baddy, maybe with the Void as a constant thing he has to overcome on the side, not the MAIN bad guy. Again.

Also at full power Sentry would wipe the flaw with Thor. And his costume is a million times cool. and he doesnt rely on a weapon. and he doesnt speak like a complete twat. why would a Norse God talk like Shakespeare?

[Porcupine]

Also at full power Sentry would wipe the flaw with Thor. QUOTE]

I have to agree with you here. Sentry on paper would clean Thor's clock. He is really Superman though. Marvel's third version after SS Hyperion and Imperial Guard Gladiator. OK Gladiator is really Mon El. Anyways the proof is in Thor and the Hulk both getting knocked out cold by Superman in the Marvel/DC crossovers.

[CE_Rap]

[ how was that drink?:D ]

okay, he has the powers of a thousand exploding suns. But what does that mean? He is MArvel's Superman, sooo...........he can do everything Superman can? Artic breath, superspeed, heat vision, x-ray vision.....jeez he has a lot of powers.....can Sentry do all that?

Also, and this is really not that important i suppose, but Sentry seems pretty physically small. By small i mean really slim, like more towards Spider-man's body. Initially i remember when i first saw him i was like, "Marvel's Superman is physically smaller than Captain America??" I dunno, i guess it doesn't matter, but i'm just sayin.

He has super speed, flight, psychic and energy powers, super strength, invulnerability, and enhanced senses.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered but I'm curious to know all of the books The Sentry's appeared in thus far.

There's the original mini.

There's New Avengers.

House Of M.

The second mini.

What about those two Spider Man trades? I think they were 'Breakout' and 'New Avengers'. Does The Sentry appear in those?

Anything else?

[comicstar100]

I was wondering about this character, I haven't really read much about him. So what exactly are his powers? Why is he considered the ticking time bomb in the marvel U? What role is he playing in civil war?

[Den]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentry_%28Robert_Reynolds%29

That sums it up better than I could. I'm not a fan of the character myself, but I've only read his appearances in New Avengers.

[Frodo-X]

Yeah, I hadn't heard of him until a few months ago. I read that summary of him to find out who he was.


Sounds kinda irritating.

[Jadeskies]

You know I liked the sentry much more when he had a beard and a dirty look. I mean you just can't go wrong with the scene where he hauls Carnage's buns into outter space and rips him in half. :eek: :evilsmile

His clean shaven look just doesnt do it for me, he looks like a blonde superman (Or even that idiot anti-superman from superman IV :eek: ) but the bearded version made me not even think of superman.

And if anyone ever told me, "Sentry is a rip off of Superman." I could of fired back, "Oh yeah!? Does Superman have a macho dirty beard!? No!? Hah! Gotcha!"

Yeah I've got too much time on my hand, maybe I should invest in an mmoprg.....:rolleyes:

Haha wow. About 2 hours ago I just relooked over new avengers #2 for some reason, and when I saw Sentry and his beard, I thought "damn that Sentry looks tight!" Another nice pic of him is on New Avengers #3 on the cover, though its a more villianous look, it would be nice to see that look and the classic mask slapped on the void.

[MaxofSteel]

Yea the bearded look is pretty sweet, but the only problem with it IMO is that it makes him look too much like bearded Thor.

[Jadeskies]

The truth is I dont mind that he would look like thor, as long as he doesn't look like superman I can live with it. Hell give Sentry a rough six o'clock shadow like Sawyer from Lost and that would work too.

Personally I would think the Sentry has too much to think about and work out internally to worry if he's clean shaven or not.
Give me that dirty biker look any day.

They really do need to go grungy macho with the sentry to represent the mental problems the guy suffers. A clean hero looks like a happy well adjusted Hero, but Sentry has much more angst than that.

[-S-Man-]

I love the whole unshaved beardy thing The Sentry had going there. But didn't he shave it off or something? I think at one point Thor had that facial hair thing as well. It kind of makes them look more menacing and tougher to me because it puts more emphasis on their eye expressions when they get angry. Cap had that fake mustache that looked really good.

One thing that really annoy me is the way that Sentry's cape hangs off his back. Its really :mad: . I liked that Ultimate Superman suit

http://superman.ws/Costumes/wizult.jpg
The neck and cape part of the suit could have sone wonders for Sentry.

[toolucky52384]

So i was re-reading all the new avenger books in anticipation of this ^#*% civil war finally being over and getting back to the the actual story that has been interrupted, and I was like WOW, SENTRY LOOKS AWSOME WITH THAT BEARD. Now for the most part, i cant stand the sentry, but for some reason, i think if he regrew the beard i could possibly become a fan. I just see him as too much like Superman right now, but you give him a rugged looking, burned out type beard, and not only does it make him look cooler, but i think it fits his character much better than the clean shaved look.

[Jmacq1]

I actually preferred the "Jesus look" for Sentry myself. The long-haired beardless thing just looks a little too feminine for my tastes.

If you ain't a Norse Thunder God or a woman, the long blonde hair thing just doesn't work real well. ;)

[Shyft]

I personally prefer when he has the short blonde hair and looks really slim. i really like the idea that his immense powers have nothing to do with his actual bodily structure. I also much prefered his style of costume from his original mini, with the little Sentry "S"'s pinning his cape to his back.

[Citizen V]

Im currently reading The Sentry:Reborn TPB and i have a few comments about it..first of all,how can the Sentry be all powerful if he cannot control The Void,the dark part of his personality?Im sure Reed Richards could have done something to help the Sentry.Also,someone who is all powerful should not have any problem saving everyone who needs his help.Not use Cloc,his robot to prioritise emergencies and actually let people die,just because one matter was important than another.He`s decent..but he`s no Superman.

Can God create something so heavy he cannot lift it? Thats the same problem the Sentry faces in the Void, i think.

hes not MEANT to be Superman. the whole point is that he's kinda F___d up. He has to be cold and a bit heartless so he can get the job done. Hence his using Cloc.

[Captain Exaggeration]

considering the fact that he can go from average joe physique into Sentry in like a flash of light, i think he has control over his image, via his light/energy/psionic manipulation powers.

[Shyft]

where the heck did he appear in house of M?

He was in the group of heroes that went to Genosha before House of M actually happened, and then in the House of M reality, he was getting counseling from Dr. Strange, talking about how the Void keeps coming for him. Its only over 2 pages and then we dont see him again after that.

[ivesaidway2much]

Does the Sentry literally have the power of a million exploding suns? Because in Civil War: the Return he was mocking Absorbing man because Creel couldn't even contain the power of a single planet. But even Galactus only goes one planet at a time. After the Living Tribunal and Eternity is there anyone else in the MU with more power than a million exploding suns?
