Being a brainchild of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, the Sentry was an astonishingly unique character when thrust onto the scene in the year 2000, and one of such complexity - equally straddling the worlds of the external and internal - that it's been difficult for later creators to replicate the original mini's success. Sigh. The Sentry's capabilities are so underrated, and so underutilized. P.S. Thanks for a great video abt my all time favorite character!

The Sentry is a character that I would absolutely love to see in the MCU.

The original Sentry miniseries and one shots were amazing; it really should've ended there. None of the follow ups have been anywhere near as interesting as that one. I did like the ending of the recent miniseries (at the time that I'm writing this), which merged the Sentry and the Void into one being, but that was almost immediately undone in his next appearance and then he was pointlessly killed off. Marvel really doesn't know what to do with him.

I've never understood the hate Sentry gets as a continuing character. He's interesting as hell when written correctly! Personally I think his role in Dark Avengers was fantastic, I loved the weird friendship with Osborne, so often it was creepy and heartwarming at the same time. When you have Norman Osborne in a position where at least feigning friendship is his only option, and his utter terror that was juuuuust barely visible every few issues, how do you not love that? That first meeting, where he convinced him to shower and eat a cheeseburger, that was so well done, and Osborne, even in that situation he's kind of a bastard because Sentry's poor wife! And then the moment of moments when, inevitably, the Void pops up, and OSBORNE BASICALLY ROLLED UP A NEWSPAPER AND SMACKED SENTRY ON THE SNOUT LIKE A MISBEHAVING PUPPY. Holy shit. "You come to me like a man."

His story is so fascinating, and I absolutely love the hoax they did to hype him up. That is just genius and it's crazy they seemingly got away with it. The concept of a superhero being there at the silver age and having major crossovers with the biggest heroes, then just being erased and forgotten by the world is a great one, and I would love to seem introduced as part of the MCU. To see how he'd be retconned into some of the big movies would be interesting

I personally think the reason why the Sentury has fallen Into Obscurity is because his whole stick being a hero that existed before Marvel silver age lineup has gotten completely overshadowed by the blue marvel/Adam Brashear origin taking the whole superhero who existed before the Fantastic four storyline and did it way better, it also doesn't help that his civilian identity is that of a drug addict which isn't exactly marketable if he were to appear in the MCU he would need an entirely new backstory.

Yeah that reveal that he was just a junkie who broke into the lab to steal stuff to score another fix kinda put a new light on the void. To me it showed that the Void is only there because deep down he knows\knew he was not worthy of his power as he did not take the serum for altruistic reasons but just to get high so the Void is a manifestation of these thoughts. If someone like Steve Rogers had took that Serum there would be no Void...

Id say the reason hes fallen behind is because the writers dont exactly know how to deal with his character. Hes a powerhouse so low level enemies would be crumpled up by him, but throwing him at the big bads would just make him a tool and kill the tension of the story. Having him lose to those same guys would make him a jobber tho, so that's not an option either. To me, his best stories were on his internal struggles, mental health, and how they effected him on the outside. Mental health is important, and sadly that's not sumn sentry has in spades. It's sumn the world struggles with today, so it could be very relatable. My idea for him going forward would be to shine a light again on those issues. But actually get him help and align him with some characters that can do so. Ppl like Peter Parker, doc Samson, hulk(to an extent), Beast, wolverine, iron fist, and even Aunt may. Have him go to these people every now and then, and even get him a therapist to sit down and talk to, to work his issues out and give him ways of dealing with those fears. When it gets too much for him? Give him powerful friends like Blue marvel, Thor, hulk, Carol, and Scarlet witch that can restrain him while he fights back against the void, until 1 day he learns that by viewing himself as 2 different people, he is only making things worse. He has to accept the void, but realize that those negative thoughts don't always make him a bad person or mean he has to listen to them. Mental health is sumn the ppl of today's world struggle with. With things like $uicid3, depression, and teens, young adults and full grown adults finding negative coping mechanisms, a sentry series that focuses on these issues I think will do well. I think the writer should also enlist the help of a therapist for official ways to cope to throw in the book.👍🏾

The Sentry is not a Superman-like character. The character was directly inspired by Miracleman/Marvelman, specifically Alan Moore's run on the character. It's almost a "what if... Miracleman was in the Marvel Universe". And Miracleman/Marvelman is the UK version of the original Captain Marvel aka Shazam. Those comics were literal reprints of US Captain Marvel comics with a name change until Fawcett shut down and the company publishing Marvelman/Miracleman kept their version going. The Sentry's symbol is resembles an S but is also a stylized lightning bolt evoking his hero name but also like the bolt worn on the chest of another hero who changes from human to superhero. I'm nitpicking, but when people call him Marvel's Superman or on of Marvel's Superman pastiches, it does a disservice to all of the great characters who inspired the character. And yes, I know ultimately Superman inspired Shazam/Captain Marvel's creation but CM did more to inspire Superman than people realize.

THE SENTRY seems to be modern reinterpretation of Alan Moore’s MIRACLEMAN set within the marvel universe. It’s essentially the same plot. A man upset with his life wakes up and learns that decades earlier he was once the most powerful superhero on the planet. Hell, they even look similar. Moore did MiracleMan in the 80s which was a reboot of the original 1960s series. I like THE SENTRY and it’s shame that marvel basically had no idea what to do with character. I loved how during the New Avengers, Dark Reign, and Siege era of comics THE SENTRY was a prominent character and a force to be reckoned with. Now he’s been diminished to occasional appearances here and there. THE SENTRY NEEDS TO RETURN!

This is the BOI I enjoy this character for the fact that his stories delve into mental health, duality, balance, and confidence. His final battle in "siege" was fire. If i could bring him into the mcu, I'd have him resurface during the 5 year time skip, appearing in a long robe to hide himself while helping people. Doing things like clearing roads, removing debris, cleaning out buildings, and helping people find shelter. Even healing the sick/injured. He hides his face because he doesn't want people to remember him. It can be explained that the reason he didnt show up during endgame is because if he got deep into the fight, he would enjoy it too much, not hold back, and give the VOID a chance to show up. I'd have his "death" be later in the mcu, when the VOID takes over due to him not being able to take his depression, anxiety, and schitzoperenia anymore(have it written in that his wife died and his friends were too busy with life to help him through it. Because of this, his desire for fighting came back full force). Void comes out, and it takes 1 of his best friends, an older adult Peter Parker to take him down. But not just any Peter Parker.... Cosmic Spider-man. Who uses the uni power to tear out the part of Roberts soul that gives him powers and crush it. B4 erasing the universes knowledge of the sentry yet again. That's how I'd do it anyways🤷🏾‍♂️

It is sad to knowingly get everyone you are friends with forget you. The Sentry to me is awesome in how he sacrifice all he is and has been to save all he loves and be forgotten.

I can describe the Sentry to be Marvel's forgotten superman due to his struggles with mental health and schizophrenia while trying to control his dark side, the void. I know Comic fans including myself were disappointed that Marvel Editors made a disabled Black Woman the new Sentry when they should've brought back Robert Reynolds as the Sentry.

I hope he never gets into the MCU. Robert’s history could be turned into a really tragic movie about how not believing in yourself and inner conflict can bring you down, no matter how powerful you are. I do not trust the current MCU to create a serious story and deliver a message this important to the cinema.

When I read about the Sentry (not a marvel fan but read the dark avengers saga) I think about a character in DC called Triumph. He too is a somewhat tragic character who has a villain aspect as well. But you just want both of them to overcome that and become the hero they should be.

Bendis wrecked the character. That said, he could be fixed. I haven't read every Sentry comic. Codify exactly what his powers are, drop the idea he's a drug addict, and have the Void as an other worldly beast who corrupted Bob and confused his memories. I do like the idea that Bob and the Void are the same person, but you could explain away a lot of it by doing a Hal Jordan/Parallax type story. Basically the Void used Bob.

I loved how they went about creating the character and the ruse that they used. I really don't know if they have any plans to give the character an Cinematic introduction (they doing a Moon Knight series which I didn't think they would do), so I am hoping for an onscreen version (although I can understand why some wouldn't like that happen in terms watering down the character).

Not going to lie the escalating use of movie footage when it's the comics being spotlighted bums me out. Certainly there are mountains of covers and panels that could be used instead. Movies and tv of the Superhero genre are already getting the limelight everywhere else comics need a place where they're still the main event.

@C A to me a bad or cheap copy of beloved character is if you do the same thing but it doesn’t have that charm that’s why I like Hyperion while he is pretty much marvel’s Superman he’s more than that but it also depends on which one you talk about I talk about the one from earth 712 where he thinks that him and the squadron supreme have the power to make a utopia and prevent crime from happening and make peace on earth while the sentry is man who was forgotten but beloved by many but also has paranoia mental problems and an evil version that lives with in him these in my opinion are not copies of Superman but all those dc Captain America’s are cheap knock-offs of Captain America

I do like the Sentry honestly he’s tied with Hyperion for me because Hyperion from earth 712 is Mark Gruenwalds amazing story about the Squadron Supreme and Hyperion is an interesting take on a Superman type while the Sentry gives us and interesting take on Superman having memory loss and and evil version of himself known as the void I love both of them
