Remender: I did. Tom Brevoort and I went back and forth between Ares and Sentry for months, and we had settled on Ares. The more I got into in what I could do with Ares, the more I realized, Ares is super-cool, and Ares as war — this was before the idea of turning them all into deaths, when I was still just considering the Four Horsemen — made a lot of sense, obviously, but it didn't interest me as much. It just didn't.
Then I realized I've got Thor on my team, who was responsible for killing Sentry, and that there's a real animosity there. Then I got into the aspect of, "What happens to a resurrected Sentry, who doesn't have The Void in his head anymore?" Who is still this mentally ill Superman who's got powers of a thousand exploding suns, but instead of The Void taking up space in his head, it's a Death persona from a Celestial, from an Apocalypse?
The twins are breaking all of the rules that have been set up, basically, because the way that these things work is — the Death Seed, basically you're choosing your successor. You create a Death, and then if you die, then the person you made as your Death becomes the next Apocalypse. If that doesn't work, then it goes to your actual kin. It's a hierarchy of the way these things work. So what they've done is to go around the cosmos, and collect Life and Death seeds from various areas of the universe, and various time periods, to cheat, and to create four Deaths.
In Sentry now, you've got someone who is basically a human being with the power of a thousand exploding suns, who is mentally ill, and instead of having this villainous Void in his head, now he's got a Death persona, which is screaming for him to move forward evolution — which is a very confusing thing for a guy who's not a mutant. Maybe he comes up with a different interpretation of his mission… when I thought of that, well, it just excited me way more. There's so much more potential there for this guy who's dealing with real and sad mental illness, and to put him in this situation, and to put him against Thor in the way that I have, it became way too cool not to do it.
Death Seed Sentry is Stable Sentry without "good inihibitions".
He don't have to play the Golden Guardian Of Good anymore.
The power-set and the mental stability remains the same.
Just the way to use it differs.
DSS Use it in his complete way.
