This would definitely make a great what if story. Disney needs to get on the story quick.

[@bishamon999]

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!

[@matti.8465]

Sentry being a Superman-esque character makes the whole thing more believable. You totally believe Marvel would have tried to compete with DC back in the day by creating their own Superman.

[@Aggrofool]

Sentry is closer to Adam Warlock than Superman. Superman-esque Marvel characters are Hyperion and Gladiator, as they have nearly identical powers and are jobbers.

That original Jenkins/Lee series is a freaking masterpiece. Few superhero comics touch on such important issues without being too edgy or with so much slightly dark meta humor.

I completely agree with you. The original Sentry series by Paul Jenkins was a masterpiece! Jae Lee’s art style wasn’t just amazing but it gave the book that added feel and tone that worked beautifully with Paul Jenkins’ writing. I love the original Sentry story and how it made you feel like we actually forgot about this amazing Marvel Superhero even though he was such an important “quote unquote” character that no one remembers. 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."

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.

[@spiderhamilton1]

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.

[@eduardoruiz7600]

I had no idea that they went so far to make people in the real world think they had forgotten about the sentry as a character but that’s incredible marketing and storytelling

[@BucketSentry]

Had no idea how elaborate Sentry's build up was! I've always sort of adored sentry especially in his more twisted roles. If he's ever brought to the big screen i sincerely hope they put him in an antagonist role his inner battle with void as well as void's brutality make for some pretty good shock moments in the comics.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

They threw in a lot of stuff like the Void and the mental illness and the powers but no logic or explanation for it all, and so the character has been "lost" in so many ways because the audience is lost when he is explained. I would love to see Sentry's pre-amnesia backstory be remembered by the Marvel denizens and see how past Marvel epics would be in retrospect.

[@TheChuckers123]

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!

[@mrheroprimes]

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.

[@abrashio]

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...

[@thomasraines1396]

@@abrashio that’s a really dark twist.

[@chriss.249]

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.👍🏾

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🤷🏾‍♂️

Sadly, my only experience with Sentry is after he joined the Avengers and up to his death in Siege. I knew at the time that he was introduced as a "lost" character and they wrote stories set back in the pre-mind wipe days. However, I thought the reason he stuck around with the Avengers was because they had a story arc in mind for him that was always intended to end at Siege. As dangerous as he was, I felt that his conclusion was rushed and that it was weird how hard Iron Man and the others were being on him for losing control and how nobody seemed to care when he died. I did like how, when he became The Void, he had a meditative stance before fighting everyone. On paper, it sounds like a big way to end the Dark Reign era and wise to give a character with a decided arc rather than run the risk of him getting mismanaged over time, but Siege felt rushed and Sentry felt like the biggest victim of it...Well, maybe second biggest victim behind Ares. Though, it was neat how the video game, Web of Shadows had Sentry's tower as a building you could reach and touch, even if Sentry was never present or mentioned.

[@adrianrocha6844]

Why would Asgard be here, exclusively for this action set piece? Why is this all so _dumb?”_ It’s safe to say that Siege put me off of ever reading a comic made after 2004.

Sentry's story kind of reminds me of Miracleman in a way

Definitely, you can tell Miracleman (especially Moore's run) was a huge influence on the Sentry.

His costume looked like every first graders imagined costume for themselves.

Forget him? Not after the ass beatings he put on Thor and them😂

I remember when this happened but I was skeptical. Ironically there are tons of characters over the years that have been thrown on the trash heap or given up on. It's too bad they didn't take one of those real failures, inject a little bit of creativity and go with that instead of trying to deceive everyone with a marketing plan. But quite honestly what can you expect from Marvel. I'm a big Marvel fan but trust in the company is something you dare not have. It's better to sift through their enormous library and history and find the treasures within.

I hard about sentry and I will get the five issues mini series. 😀👍

"Rediscovered a forgotten hero"? Alan Moore would appreciate that

[@mickeyveach3612]

There seems to be some conflicting sources about whether or not Marvel Knights is canon. I always assumed they were because Marvel Knights Spider Man had a few tie ins to The Other storyline.
