The Sentry (Robert "Bob" Reynolds) is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appears in The Sentry #1 (Sep. 2000) and was created by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, with uncredited conceptual contributions by Rick Veitch.[1]

Creation

In the late 1990s, Paul Jenkins and Rick Veitch developed an idea of Jenkins' about "an over-the-hill guy, struggling with addiction, who had a tight relationship with his dog" into a proposal for Marvel Comics' Marvel Knights line. Jenkins conceived of the character "a guardian type, with a watchtower", and came up with the name "Sentry" (after previously considering "Centurion"). Veitch suggested that the character could be woven into the history of the Marvel Universe, with versions of the character from the 1940s on depicted in artistic styles matching the comics of each period. Veitch also suggested that due to some cataclysmic event, all recollection of the Sentry would have been removed from everyone's memory (including his own). Jenkins and Veitch decided that they would create not only a fictional history for the Sentry within the Marvel Universe, but also a fictional publication history in the "real world", complete with imaginary creators ("Juan Pinkles" and "Chick Rivet", anagrams of Paul Jenkins and Rick Veitch). Jenkins pitched the concept to Marvel Knights editor Joe Quesada. Quesada decided to commission a mini-series written by Jenkins with art by Jae Lee, with whom Jenkins had previously worked on an Inhumans mini-series.[1]

Publication history

The Sentry was first introduced in his eponymous Marvel Knights 2000 miniseries written by Paul Jenkins with art by Jae Lee. The miniseries ran for 5 issues and then segued directly into a series of one-shot flashbacks in which the Sentry teamed up with the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Angel of the X-Men, and the Hulk. These one-shots led up to The Sentry vs. the Void, an additional one-shot that wrapped up the story of the miniseries and one-shots. The Sentry next appeared in New Avengers playing a minor role in the first arc, Breakout (issues #1-6), and as the focus of the second arc, The Sentry (issues #7-10). In 2005, the Sentry received another miniseries written by Paul Jenkins and featuring art by John Romita, Jr. The series ran for 8 issues. The Sentry appeared in the Mighty Avengers as a member of that team, and later in Dark Avengers in a similar capacity, and as protagonist in the The Age of the Sentry mini-series.

Hoax

Marvel promoted The Sentry limited series as the first appearance of an unknown Stan Lee Silver Age hero; Lee agreed to pretend that he had created the character and forgotten about it. Comic book magazine Wizard: The Guide to Comics participated in the hoax, reporting that Marvel had discovered sketches by a forgotten artist named "Artie Rosen" (a reference to letterers Artie Simek and Sam Rosen) of a superhero created by Stan Lee that pre-dated the Fantastic Four.[2]

Fictional character biography

Sentry and the Marvel Universe

Cover art to The Sentry #2 by Jae Lee (line art) and Jose Villarrubia (painted colors).

Middle aged, overweight Bob Reynolds remembers that he is the Sentry, a superhero whose "power of one million exploding suns" derives from a special serum. Realizing that his arch-nemesis the Void is returning, Reynolds seeks out several prominent Marvel characters to warn them and to discover why no one remembers the Sentry.

The characters' memories of the Sentry and the Void resurface when Reynolds talks with them. The Sentry had taught Angel how to conquer his fear of falling. Peter Parker's photograph of the Sentry earned him a Pulitzer Prize and fame. The Hulk had never forgotten the Sentry, whom he called "Golden Man". Under the Sentry's influence, the Hulk had been a force for good which had redeemed his violent actions and won the adoration of the public. Reed Richards remembers the Sentry was his best friend and that the Fantastic Four had teamed up with him on many adventures. Meanwhile the general public themselves gradually come to remember the Sentry as does Reynolds' old sidekick, Billy Turner, formerly known as the Scout.

During the course of his investigation, Reynolds and Reed Richards discover what had happened: as the Void had threatened the Earth, the heroes learned that the Sentry and the Void were two halves of the same person, and in order to save the world, Robert Reynolds erased his memory from the mind of nearly every person on Earth. As the heroes stand along the United States' East Coast, united against the coming Void, Reynolds realizes that he must make the sacrifice again, and with the help of his mechanical servant CLOC, Richards, and Doctor Strange, Reynolds erases the Sentry from the world's memories once more.[3]

New Avenger

Reynolds re-appears inside the supervillain prison the Raft, voluntarily imprisoned for murdering his wife Lindy Lee. During a massive jail break in which several Marvel superheroes are caught, the Sentry defends several other characters from Carnage, whom he flies to space and rips in half.[4]

Eventually, the Avengers learn that Mastermind, under the direction of Sentry's enemy the crazed General, implanted a virus in Reynolds' mind that created delusions and the existence of the Void, which is actually Reynolds' repressed persona. The mental virus impairs Reynolds' ability to remember life, and, as a cry for help, he subconsciously implants his memories into the mind of comic book writer Paul Jenkins, who then transferred those memories to comic books. Emma Frost releases Reynolds from the virus, and the Sentry joins the Avengers (though the world no longer remembers him or the Void) and discovers that he had never killed his wife. Additionally, the Sentry's Watchtower appears atop the Stark Tower, where it had been all along.[5]

The Sentry, returned as a hero, captures the hearts of the public and newspapers refer to him as "the Golden Guardian of Good", and he saves hundreds of lives on a daily basis; Reynolds' psychological problems, however, have worsened. Unable to reconcile that Robert Reynolds, the Sentry and the Void are the same being, the Sentry contains the Void in a vault in the Watchtower. At CLOC's urging, Reynolds' psychiatrist Dr. Cornelius Worth enters the vault and finds only a chair and a mirror. When Cornelius confronts Reynolds with this, Reynolds becomes confused and runs to the fairgrounds where he first gained his powers.

Cornelius follows Reynolds to the fairgrounds where the Sentry and the Void have been fighting. The Void claims that Reynolds transforms into him rather than the Sentry: the Sentry is merely a guilt-borne byproduct. With only half of Robert Reynolds' memories (the Void possessing the other half), the Sentry isn't sure the Void is wrong. The Sentry chases the Void away and then explains to Cornelius that Reynolds hired him because he subconsciously wanted someone to reveal the Void's existence to the world so he would no longer have to hide that aspect of himself. The Sentry then tells Cornelius how Reynolds really gained his powers as a teenager: by stealing the Professor's serum and ingesting it to get high. He further reveals he knew all along that the Void was never really in the Watchtower's vault, but if Reynolds believed the Void to be there then the Void would be dormant.

In a final battle at Antarctica, the Void claims that Reynolds had actually ingested a super-saturated, exponentially more potent version of the Super-Soldier formula that created Captain America. This was considered dangerous by the government because the Sentry's blood could be used to create more of the serum, enough for the entire world. Several failed attempts were made to kill him. Enraged by this revelation, the Sentry throws the Void into the Sun, telling his enemy that he no longer needs him to balance his own actions of good. The Void promises to return.[6]

Next, Yelena Belova attacks the Avengers and absorbs the Sentry's powers. After Belova defeats each of the Avengers, she is defeated by the manifestation of the Void, which envelops and incapacitates her. The Sentry tells Belova that absorbing his powers has exposed her to the Void, but if she answers his questions, he can send the Void away.[7]

The U.S. government sends Sentry to apprehend Iron Man, who has been mind-controlled to assassinate a number of high-profile former terrorists. Unable to find any physical weaknesses or outrun the Sentry, Iron Man attacks the Sentry's mind; he remotely hacks CLOC and has Sentry barraged with unfiltered warnings about multiple devastating disasters occurring simultaneously throughout the world. Unable to prioritize which alarm to deal with first, Sentry collapses to the ground in tears, utterly incapacitated.[8]

Civil War

The Sentry sides with Iron Man's Pro-Registration program. He has been seen in a promotional poster labeled "Civil War: The Final Battle," again on Iron Man's side. He accompanies a S.H.I.E.L.D. squad to battle Wolverine and tells him that he doesn't want to get involved but sees no choice - he claims he has to stop the ugly business even if that means becoming part of it for a while. He then knocks Wolverine unconscious and hands him over to S.H.I.E.L.D.[9]

Trying to escape from the battle, believing that every path he can choose will ultimately lead to the death of people he knows (one of his thoughts at this point consists of himself and Hulk triumphantly returning to Earth and 'ending' the war via killing all the heroes) Sentry is confronted by the Inhumans.[10] Believed a threat, he is ordered to follow them to Black Bolt's presence. Then, after a discussion of the Civil War events with the (still unaware) Inhumans, he rekindles his friendship with them and almost resumes his past relationship with Crystal. He is then confronted by Iron Man himself, who finally convinces a still reluctant Sentry to join him.

It is stated that the Sentry publicly announces his support of the Registration Act three days after the climactic battle of the Civil War limited series.[11]

World War Hulk

A confrontation with the Hulk ends up with Sentry's Watchtower being dropped straight down through Stark Tower/Avengers headquarters, destroying it.[12] Reed Richards tries to build a machine that will cast a projection of the Sentry and recreates his calming aura, hoping that it would calm the Hulk, but the Hulk sees through the illusion.[13]

Later in a confrontation between the Hulk and the Fantastic Four, Sue Storm tries to call the real Sentry for help, but he does not answer the call and is sitting in his apartment watching television. The President of the United States tries to convince the Sentry to fight against his longtime friend the Hulk. The President stumbles over the pre-fed words of persuasion and tries to improvise a plea for help. The Sentry refuses.[14]

After the Hulk turns Madison Square Garden into a gladiatorial arena and forces Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, and Iron Man to fight one another, the military turns to the Sentry for help once again. The Sentry admits to his fear of his tremendous power mixed with his agoraphobia, stating,

"It's the agoraphobia. Some days it's...I can't...Sorry, Tony. You'll have to handle this one yourselves."
...
"Against an opponent this powerful...The amount of energy I'd have to expend...if I...lost control, for even a millisecond..."

— Sentry

After watching the events on TV and witnessing the Hulk apparently deciding, in Roman-style, to force Reed Richards to kill Tony Stark, he leaves his home stating that, "It's time to play god".[15]

The Sentry engages the Hulk and unleashes his power. During the prolonged fight they both expend massive amounts of energy. In the last few seconds they both revert to human form. After Bruce delivers the final punch, the broken-faced Robert Reynolds thanks Bruce before immediately collapsing before his feet.[16]

Mighty Avengers

The Sentry is recruited by Tony Stark to be part of the Mighty Avengers, the newest incarnation of the Avengers team. While at first there is some dispute between the Sentry and his wife, Robert joins the team while Tony Stark and Ms. Marvel offer him assistance to battle his mental issues. He is described to be the most powerful member of the team, but lacks proper training on how to use his abilities, usually apologizing for his mistakes (apologizing for damage to a building and being thrown into a blimp in #1).

In the battle against the female Ultron, the two prove to be evenly matched. Neither is able to win until Ultron uses a virus to down Stark's helicarrier. Ultron then initiates "Plan B" and apparently kills Lindy, the Sentry's wife, although this is witnessed only by the Sentry and may be illusory.[17]

An enraged Sentry attacks Ultron once more. In an exchange of blows Sentry is knocked away as Ares and Ant-Man proceed to infect Ultron with a virus intended to destroy it. Soon after, Sentry once again attacks Ultron, almost compromising the Avengers plan, nearly destroying Ultron by tearing its head off. Before he can finish, he is knocked away by Ms. Marvel. After Ultron's defeat he returns to the Watchtower to find his wife, Lindy, alive and well — not having in fact been killed, or possibly having apparently revived her himself. Stark is later shocked when a terrified Lindy secretly requests that he find a way to either de-power or kill her husband.[18]

The Sentry then aids the team when they attack Latveria but ends up stuck in the past with Dr. Doom and Tony. The Sentry finds them and Stark sends him into the Baxter Building so that they can use Mister Fantastic's time machine; since all memory of his past actions were erased by his 'spell', he can do anything in the past and be sure that it won't impact on the present. The Sentry gets to it, first having to deal with the Thing. After he returns to present time along with Iron Man, he finds the rest of the Avengers engaged in battle with Doctor Doom. The Sentry quickly subdues Doom, who is then taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.

Secret Invasion

When a Skrull spacecraft is discovered approaching Earth's atmosphere, the Mighty Avengers and New Avengers simultaneously head to its predicted crash area in the Savage Land. Inside are numerous superheroes dressed in their old costumes. As the Sentry fights one who looks like the Vision, it transforms into the Void, blaming the entire situation on the Sentry's hidden desires. Panicking, the Sentry flees.[19] At the same time, a full-scale Skrull invasion begins, with one Skrull attacking the Watchtower where Lindy is. Before he can attack however, the Void appears and defends Lindy and tells her that the Sentry can't handle the situation and that "Whatever he can't do, I can." [20]

Dark Avengers

The Sentry joins the Dark Avengers, Norman Osborn's personal team of Avengers, stating that Osborn is helping him in return.[21] The writer of the series has said "[w]hat's going on with the Sentry is a big part of the book".[22] Upon confronting the sorceress Morgana leFay, the Sentry, having been given a complete mandate by Norman Osborn, seemingly kills her by tearing her head off; afterward, in a confused state, he asks whether what he did was good or bad. However, he then explodes in a blinding flash of light which also heralds the return of Morgana.[23] During these events, it is revealed that Osborn visited the Sentry shortly after the Invasion. Osborn confided in Bob his own mental health problems, and convinced him that there is no Void, that he had created it by denying his own humanity. Osborn offered to help Bob, on the condition that he join his Avengers.[24] After Osborn's Avengers and Dr. Doom defeat Morgana, the team, believing the Sentry dead, return to New York City. Upon reaching Avengers Tower, they are met by a flash of light as the Sentry reappears alive and well, much to the surprise (and worry) of his teammates.[25] After a terrorist attack by an Atlantean cell Norman Osborn demands to speak to the Void. He orders the Void to kill all the terrorists. The Sentry obliges and succeeds in his task, but is seen with black eyes, indicating the return of the Void while in Sentry-persona.[26]

When riots break out in San Francisco, the Dark Avengers and HAMMER move in to contain the situation. The Sentry only watched as the riots were slowly quelled. When the X-Men do battle with the Dark Avengers, Emma Frost freed the Sentry from the Void by containing it in her own mind, allowing him to flee the battle. Unfortunately, she could not hold it for long, as the Void escaped and chased after the fleeing Sentry, while a small sliver remained inside her, forcing her to remain in diamond form to prevent the Void from accessing her telepathy.[27]

Sentry returns to Avengers Tower. His wife Lindy shoots him in the head with an alien ray gun because she fears his mindset, apparently killing him, but he swiftly returns, fully healed.[28]

The character is sent to investigate mysterious disappearances in Dinosaur, Colorado, and is disintegrated when he approaches the area.[29] The disappearances have been caused by Owen Reece, the Molecule Man, who, isolated from everyone, has lost most ability to differentiate between hallucinations and reality, and secluded himself in the area he was born. After the other Dark Avengers have been defeated, Osborn's aidé Veronica Hand convinces Owen to restore everyone and everything he destroyed and to stop being a threat, in return for being left alone in the future. The Sentry returns at this point, attacks the Molecule Man, and pulls him into the air, but is destroyed again. The Sentry immediately reforms, and takes advantage of Owen's distraction from an incoming missile to take control of his body. Reynolds states that his powers apparently stem from a similar ability to manipulate reality, but that he is not as adept at using them yet. Apparently unaware that Owen had already promised to do so, Sentry tells the Molecule Man to restore everything or to be killed. After Owen does so, the Sentry nonetheless disintegrates his body in return. The Sentry tells Osborn that he does not believe he can die anymore, and Ms. Marvel muses that the Scarlet Witch's reality-rewriting nervous breakdown was negligible in comparison to the threat if the Sentry would lose control.[30]

Powers and abilities

The Sentry's powers derive from a serum that moves his molecules an instant ahead of the current timeline. This was designed to be a hundred thousand times stronger than the original used on Captain America, and was modified by Weapon X.[31]

Although the character's exact abilities and their limits are unknown, he has been shown to lift a Helicarrier with the assistance from Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man;[32] effortlessly defeat and break the Handle of the axe of Terrax,[33] a herald of Galactus shown as powerful enough to slice planets in half;[34] and easily shatter shields of Doctor Doom although they were running out of power at the time.[35] During the Sentry's initial mini-series, Spider-Man, in a moment of reflection, recalls that the Sentry fought and stalemated Galactus at one point, however, the comic displaying this battle hasn't been produced, nor has this feat been reiterated in future related comics.[volume & issue needed]

He generally greatly restrains his full power,[36] but when unleashing it he has even overloaded the Absorbing Man;[36] and fought an extremely enraged Hulk for a prolonged time until both fighters reverted to their human forms, whereupon Reynolds collapsed at Bruce Banner's feet.[16][37] He possesses superhuman speed, making him easily able to evade or catch bullets; and through flight he can travel to the sun and back in a matter of minutes. Nick Fury has stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet found a way to kill the Sentry, and Iron Man's scanners have found no physical weaknesses in his body.

The Sentry also has superhumanly acute senses, as he once told an opponent that he could see his nerve centers, and claimed to be able to "hear a butterfly sneeze in Central Africa" from New York City. He can emit light, which can be used for a pacifying effect, and possesses tremendous energy projection, capable of harming even the Hulk, who has withstood the equivalent of solar flares unharmed.[16]

He was once able to implant his memories inside another person's mind, and uses his mental powers to hold his physical form together. After Ultron murdered his wife, Sentry was able to resuscitate her by simply touching her.[38] His main weakness may be that he's been shown as susceptible to mental manipulation.[35]

The Sentry has demonstrated the ability to recreate himself after bodily destruction, and has found out that all his powers derive from abilities similar to those of the virtually omnipotent Molecule Man, but is not as experienced in manipulating reality yet.[39]

Void

Due to manipulations by the General and Mastermind, Robert Reynolds projects an entity as a dark side effect of his powers. It has been claimed that for every benevolent act the Sentry performs, the Void corresponds with attempting an act of malevolence. He was formerly unaware that the Void was a false personality, but has since been informed otherwise. It was recently, at least temporarily, physically separated from his being, with a "shard" of its essence placed within Emma Frost.[40]

The Void possesses the ability to shape-shift, and through its control over the weather and darkness it can create destructive storms and deadly "infini-tendrils" that attack the mind. Victims impaled on the tendrils experience traumatic visions of the past, present, and future. Its regular appearance varies between a shadowy, trench coat-wearing villain to a massive hurricane of darkness. It can also assume powers dependent on shape, like a flame form that breathes fire, alternately an armored monster with super strength and toughness. It is at its strongest during the night and in the Negative Zone. Coincidentally, Sentry is at his weakest in the negative zone. A physical assault required much effort to hold off from the combined force fields of Iron Man, Doctor Strange and the Invisible Woman, while dozens of other superheroes and well-armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents simultaneously attacked it.[41]

Other versions

House of M

After Wanda Maximoff changes the world in House of M #1, Robert Reynolds is seen briefly with Doctor Strange in a therapy session. He tells Strange about a dream in which he sees an immense darkness (The Void) coming down on him. Reynolds is then asked how he feels about it.

Marvel Zombies

A version of the Sentry is responsible for the zombie outbreak depicted in Ultimate Fantastic Four and Marvel Zombies. A Sentry from another alternate universe appears looking for food, and the zombie virus quickly spreads to nearly every super-powered character in that world. It is explained that the infection started only a few days ago after an unidentified infected superhero similar to Sentry from yet another dimension crashed into New York City looking for more people to eat and infect. He is never called by name and is only distinguishable by his outfit. What happens to the Sentry after his initial contact with this universe is unknown.[volume & issue needed]

In Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness, it is revealed that the zombie Sentry was undead in the afterlife, eating everyone that came into the "light" and knocking Ash into the not yet infected world of superheroes. The Sentry finds its way through the same portal and infects the Avengers.[volume & issue needed]

In Marvel Zombies Return, it is revealed that the Sentry's infection and universal travel is a predestination paradox. When the Giant-Man of the Marvel Zombies universe comes to a past version of the Marvel Universe, he infects the Hulk, who then infects the Sentry. At the conclusion of the story, Sentry is sent through the multiverse by Uatu the Watcher and infects the Avengers, setting off the entire series of events.[42] In the one-shot Marvel Zombies: Evil Evolution, Zombie Reed Richards speculates that a dimensional teleporter he was testing may have pulled the Sentry from his reality, though whether this was from the Gates of Heaven or was the other end of Uatu's teleporter is not revealed.[43]
