Sentry was one of my favorite Marvel characters. A man with the power of a 1000 suns yet is scared to the conquces of his actions . glad to see the got Paul Jenkins his ceator to give him a proper sendoff
Sentry
Character » Sentry appears in 966 issues.
After ingesting an experimental super-soldier formula, the lowly Robert Reynolds became the Sentry, if only in his mind. In constant battle with his dark side known as the Void, the Sentry has been forgotten and dead, he has resurrected and vanished. Even if he is one of earth's greatest heroes, he is also one of the world's greatest dangers.
RIP Sentry
" Thanks for the spoiler alert! "
Yeah
and Sentry tentacles?
he's dead
the aftermath
Asgard and the humans hold hands and sing kumbaya around an Avengers tower that is missing Sentry decoration and looking a bit more Asgardian in design
The ending was a bit lame
He may be dead for now but we all must remember death can easily be cheap in the Comics....I can't see sentry being dead forever but for now I am glad he's gone.It's a shame though.I can't help but feel sorry for him....But his death was necessary since he's one of the hugest threats in marvel and plus he is annoying as hell.
I really wanted to like the Sentry, but it seems like they forced him into one too many things for no reason without properly developing him as a character.
Still, it's sad to see such potential ended before it was realized.
I was so very disappointed when Thing went into the "I hated him... BUT" bit. I was really hoping someone would speak some sense in this issue. I guess those characters that would have didn't make it. Also, Rogue having a relationship with Sentry (and the nature of their relationship) = ridiculous and stupid. So was her breakdown, Rogue is stronger than that. The whole issue felt incredibly forced, because these characters are talking about touching moments that we never knew about, which are being fabricated specifically for this issue and the purpose of making the Sentry look like a sympathetic character. It tries to tug at your heartstrings with fond memories of times that never were. At least he's finally dead. Hopefully he stays that way forever.
" @Aronmorales said:The sreies i was refering to was Seige; so, out of five, how'd you rate the story?" Sounds like a book (and a series) to get. "It's a one-shot, and it isn't very good. "
" The sreies i was refering to was Seige; so, out of five, how'd you rate the story? "My mistake. Siege, as a story, has been fairly good. I'd say 4 out of 5 overall. There were strong points and weak points, but there were a lot of things about it I enjoyed. The core 4-issue series was definitely worth buying, IMO. I don't want to go into to much detail if you haven't read it.
So sad, Sentry was great in the series when he had short hair. Don't know why so many writers tossed him around like that.
Like most comic deaths, I can see him coming back in some form. I think Sentry is actually better suited for more of Cosmic Marvel though. Another possibility is "Sentry" coming back but its not the same character. I think though they will leave him dead for a long time, longer than some of the other recent deaths. I am sure they will revisit him in the future but it is good that he is tabled for now.

"Honestly, the character could have been something much better than it was if Bendis didn't touch him and I really love his work. He basically took a character that had an air of mystery but a foundation and changed it into something to fit his story. I really doubt that his entire plan was to lead to this though, I think it just was a means to the end but was meh. The character could have really been the next "Superman" but didn't really want or need that. Not only that, they added to his powers creating something with near infinite powers that could not really be destroyed till the entire Marvel Universe attacked it.
seriously i just read a Q&A about Siege #4 and i've got one question. After reading the Q&A given below and looking at the given scans, can someone please explain to me how Sentry was lying about having the powers of Molecule Man?
In this scene, Thor finally ends the threat of the Void AKA Bob Reynolds by killing him. It seems like when you consider the Void's power level, the only way this could have happened was because the Void wanted to die.
I see there is a lot of online speculation about that, and I thought it was pretty clear. I don't like to over analyze these things. I prefer the work to speak for itself, but I'll put two things out there.
I think we've all met crazy people in our lives, and I think you learn pretty quickly that when you're dealing with a crazy person, you can't trust what they're saying to be true. Just because the Sentry/The Void announced that he had the power of the Molecule Man, it doesn't mean that he actually did. He just thought that he did. He was a crazy person and maybe a drug addict, as the character's creator, Paul Jenkins, put out there. So not everything he was saying wasn't necessarily true. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't. I know that's difficult for some people, because when they read a story, they don't want to feel like they're being fucked with. That character, though, was not in control of himself. There wasn't one second throughout the run of "Dark Avengers" where he was in control of himself.
Number two, yes, Bob realized that things had gone as far as they could possibly go. There was no other end for him and without his cooperation he doesn't go away. I just didn't want to have a line in the script where someone like Spider-Woman goes, "Boy, if he didn't want us to kill him, we couldn't have killed him." I see a lot of people got it, though, or they were just so happy to see the Sentry die they didn't give a shit how it happened [Laughs].
i know this is 7 months late, but is the sentry coming back? he kinda sucked at the end, but i thik he could have been built into a really awesome character. i think if he is brought back without the void and a new attitude, he could be really cool! and i have to admit i like his costume over superman's, it just looks cooler to me
