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.
"If they want to make Sentry a serious character they first need to figure out what exactly is wrong with him. So far he has had schizophrenia, agoraphobia, multiple personality disorder and a misplaced sense of right and wrong. His illnesses come and go as fast as silver age Superman's powers.
They do that because if they don't Sentry will be unstoppable.They are trying to keep Sentry at a manageable level.That's why they made the whole "Unlimited power with mental stability" thing because if he can depower himself by being a nutcase then that can be the writers excuse for his low end feats.
"
I don't have a problem with him having a mental illness, but they can't agree over which mental illness it is. In every book he's in something different is wrong with him. It just seems as though they're not giving any thought to the character. "
Marvel doesn't give any thought to alot of things.
"I didn't like what he did to Morgan. Okey she's a witch and he's on the Dark Avengers, even so I would expect more off an super "hero". - He's really just a wanna be.... "
I really like the way he was used in Silent War by David Hine and by Greg Pak in World War Hulk. A prfect Sentry would be somewhere between those two takes on the character.
They should turn him into a villian that way we could see how powerful he is cause as a hero he sucks maybe this way we can see the power of the million suns
They should Sentry to space and he should be a Guardian of the Galaxy.If they keep him as a earth hero they have to hold him to Earth standards and he's too powerful.They have to keep using plot devices to dumb him down.
"He just simply needs to be used at the level hes claimed to be.....having him do NOTHING in civil war was stupid.....have him do NOTHING in SI is stupid......having him draw with hulk is STUPID given hes ment to be marvels superman. is short hes just done nothing I like him just fine and I think hes got a spot in the Marvel U but its hard to justify him when hes done nothing and THOR is back. At this time hes just about the same as Ms marvel and wonderman both who are behind THOR hell even Ares and Namor have pulled off greater feats.
I would have liked him if he would have beaten HULK in WWH thats the least they could have done with him. Now as normans goon I dont know how he could do anything positive"
Don't be ridiculous.If Sentry was as powerful as he claimed to be..people would still hate him.He would own everybody.He owned alot of powerful villains as it is.He killed Carnage and Absorbing Man with no effort.He didn't do nothing in Civil War..he was Iron Man's bodyguard and personal errand boy for the Registration Act.Being on Tony' side..if he had actually done what he was capable of..Tony would have won without Cap surrendering.The same goes for Secret Invasion.There was nobody in the Savage Land that could have stopped him if he had actually been part of that fight.My guess is Marvel is saving him...Saving him for something huge.
Sentry drawing with Hulk was not stupid.If you actually read World War Hulk..you would know,Sentry was never meant to or trying to beat Hulk in the first place.Also it was WORLD WAR HULK? Who the hell do you think is going to win in this situation..the character for whom the comic is named after or some random superhero?
Sentry basically is what Thor was when the Avengers had him as a teammate.Ridiculously powerful but held back by the Avengers.The Avengers had pretty weak opponents.Most of which Thor could have taken out himself..but they made it seem as if he had trouble with them and needed the Avengers to help him win because that would have been boring to write.
The problem more or less is Marvel characters are too weak and Marvel tries to be too realistic.A Sentry level character could let loose in a DC or A Wildstorm because there are plenty of people who could take him if he got out of hand.With his status on Earth..if Sentry decided to destroy it and kill everyone on it.There isn't a soul there who could stop him from doing it.
