Once the Void left me, the two angels came. Pulled me from the light, to return to this chaotic room with its malodorous flavors. But gloriously free of the entirety of my sadness and failure, I am reborn -- I AM LIFE-IN-DEATH!
~ The Sentry.
You're fast, Tony. Very fast. But I'm always going to be two seconds ahead of you. You can set your clock by it.
~ Sentry to Iron Man.

History[]

Background[]

A man named Robert "Bob" Reynolds drank a chemical formula made from the DNA of a cosmic entity, which give him "the power of a million suns", giving him super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, the ability to shoot solar beams, and the ability to fly. With these powers, he quickly become of the greatest superheroes in the Marvel Universe, loved and respected by both civilians and his fellow superheroes.

However, he often has to deal with a dark entity known as the Void that often tries to take over his body and use it for evil, leading the Sentry on a constant struggle to keep the Void at bay. The Sentry used to be active in the 50s and 60s, before wiping everyone's mind of his existence and resurfacing in the present day.

Biography[]

Becoming Sentry[]

Robert "Bob" Reynolds is the son of unnamed parents, and later became a meth addict in his youth before becoming the superhero known as the Sentry. One day, Robert broke into a laboratory of Professor Cornelius and consumed the Golden Sentry Serum, a recreation of the Super Soldier Serum that was made to magnify the physiology whoever drank the compound. Upon drinking it, Reynolds gained the power of a million exploding suns, which killed his partner and the lab guards.

Robert asked Professor Cornelius to make more compounds for him, and the heads of Project: Sentry persuaded Reynolds to test his powers at their facility. Despite this, Robert desired to become a hero, and after dealing with his former school bully, created a costume and named himself Sentry.

Heroic Career[]

During the early days of his career, Sentry was optimistic and was accepted by others as a hero in a time where most superheroes were disrespected for their freakish powers. Sentry became an ally of Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man (being a role model for Peter Parker), Professor X, the Fantastic Four (becoming an equal to Mr. Fantastic), and the X-Men.

During his early career, Sentry was active in fighting crime before the Fantastic Four formed, and became an accepted hero by the public. Sentry became an ally to Iron Man and Professor X, a friend to Hulk, a role model to Spider-Man, an equal to Mister Fantastic, and often aided the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. He once helped the Fantastic Four battle their greatest enemy Doctor Doom, and was aided by the X-Men when fighting his own enemy, the General.

Confronting The Void[]

However, both his hero career would end on the day of the arrival of his own worst enemy, The Void, as a result of drinking the serum, it also made all the darkness inside of him come to life, which made him kill his sidekick Scout, and resulted in a battle between him and Hulk that destroyed most of Manhattan.

Frightened of what he could do as a villain, Sentry teamed up with Dr. Strange & Mr. Fantastic, and together, they created a system which made the whole world -- including the three of them -- forget Sentry ever existed. Which caused the Void to vanish and allowed Robert to retire from his hero work.

Powers and abilities[]

  • Artificially Enhanced Physiology: As a result of drinking the Super Sentry Serum, Roberts body power increased a million times over what happened with Steve Rogers upon attaining the Super soldier Serum. Which also resulted in him getting a wide array of superpowers, which included the following:
    • Superhuman Strength: Sentry's strength has been increased to infinite lengths, which allowed him to fight great powerhouses like Hulk and Terrax, and effortlessly tear apart superpowered symbiotes like Carnage.
    • Superhuman Speed: Sentry has the ability to think, move, run, and react at superhuman speeds. He has been observed catching bullets and has also been seen moving far in excess of supersonic speeds; his speed on earth is enough to be gauged as fast enough to move at orbital velocity (5 miles a second). Allowing him to keep up with incredibly fast speedsters like Silver Surfer.
    • Superhuman Durability: Sentry is able to take all sorts of damage, from bullets, missiles, to meteors falling down from earths orbit.
    • Flight: The Sentry possesses the ability to float by defying gravity, using his superhuman speed to fly far above hypersonic speeds (above Mach 10). He has demonstrated travelling to the Sun and back in a matter of moments which would require him to fly at speeds faster than light.
