@@tiwongemhango955also, why does the superversion of a serum that enhances human endurance and strenght grant you god like powers? Wouldn't you just be a human thats 1000x strong?
He was created as an "imagine if Marvel had a Superman from the very begining". His comics' advertising campaign talked about rediscovering him in some old notes from a comic book writer from way back when. All made up, of course, but it played well into the idea of a forgotten superhero
They killed him off with knull because he was just too powerful. If they would've kept him they said he would've reached Franklin Richards levels of power
Yeah. A struggling addict is one who struggles to obtain the source of his addiction. Just like Sentry here. A successful addict is one who can keep it up without having to resort to crime, for example, Snoop Dogg with marijuana or Uncle Cletus with cocaine.
Because it's super soldier serum concentrated to absurd levels. It's like asking why nobody dies from alcohol poisoning after one shot glass. It's never going to be that pure
Well I think Marvel has enough superheroes. We don't need a million more Sentries flying around. And since they would all be incredibly powerful, that would be risky, especially since all of them could have a dark side.
Sentry is hands down one of my favorite Marvel superheroes! He's just so cool and interesting, especially with that dark side, the Void, lurking inside him.
@@soulstone1255 I haven’t read many you are right. However it’s not about darkness or edginess. It’s about playing it completely straight. Miracleman isn’t an edgelord, he is a sensible superman in a sensible world. And marvel comics can be as dark and brutal as possible but even in 2023 I doubt many pieces of media would have a normal pregnancy drawn in the detail it was in miracle man (which was drawn in the 80s because they tried so overly hard to be progressive that they are still too progressive even for 2023). Miracleman has had two enemies total and he has killed them both. It’s a different type of comic, there are no bad guys to fight, earth is saved/conquered. That’s what I meant.
I really wish they rewritten sentry origin. Like he had the void at first, not knowing that the void controling him then something inside awakens to battle the void within (the sentry). And everyday he lives in pilot like a normal human or hero but within his 3 ego faught nonstop.
The graphic novel by Paul Jenkins & Jae Lee is a thrilling, dark and sometimes disturbing piece while being cleverly interwoven into Marvel history. Needless to say (but I shall anyway), Jae Lee's style evokes a sense of timelessness to the book as a whole and communicates the dynamic of the story wonderfully. Truly one of my favourites.
He’s also the only hero of earth who was able to go toe to toe with world-breaker hulk although world breaker won the fight sentry still was able to use his energy to force hulk to transform into Bruce banner for a short period
He’s on the level of Hyperion, Blue Marvel, Mad Jim Jaspers, Onslaught, Surfer, And World Breaker Hulk at his absolute peak. Which caused earthquakes all across the east coast just from walking. He surpasses Thor and Ares, and Doctor Doom easily. And that last one is really saying something considering the heights Doom gets to. Not that the other two are weak. When he gets his “power-up” he’s Beyonder/Phoenix level. Which ever is the stronger one. Because of some chemicals… Some chemicals in a lab some junkie took. But no. The source material is always great…
And of course, the ultimate super soldier Serum was just in a normal lab, not some secret military base with 1000 layers of security. And no one else had already taken the Serum as part of an experiment.
Sentry: The guy you come up with as a kid while playing with your action figures, who also just happens to be your favorite toy. Sentry, The immortal, The super strong, The invincible, The super fast, The super chaotic, The flying, Can shoot laser beams from any part of his body, can will himself back to life if he's ever destroyed, The telepath, The unstoppable force, The void, The god, The beyond omega level, The Cosmic Perfection, The Sentry
I honestly always felt that the serum he got should’ve been made by the celestials instead of humans. There’s already a ton of heroes that got their powers through mortal means (cap, Spider-Man, Luke cage, hulk) it could’ve been a little bit cooler if maybe the celestials created a liquid that they stored away on earth millions of years before civilization, they could’ve made it to use on species to see how their bodies would react to it, and Robert’s ancestors found it and stored it away, and maybe Robert could be dying from a disease and his family takes the liquid out from storage and puts it in him, and it permanently imbued him with the power of a million exploding suns, and him becoming the sentry. It’s raw cosmic energy in liquid form so it can make him a god level being.🤷♂️
*Captain America finding out that a super soldier serum made someone a godlike being* Captain America: my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
I mean, wasnt hulk serum too an experiment to replicate the supersoldier serum? Like how a steroid got enough transformation to give the user god like powers
No, you really don't. He'd be Captain Marvel 2. Even in the comics, he's less of a character and more of a living plot device they throw at the villain when the other heroes are losing.
How is he more relatable than half of the MCU right now? He's a drug addict that drank super god juice and has an evil alter ego, and somehow we relate to him more than most MCU characters these days.
The powers are cool but the backstory is too lame thanks to lazy writing... Dude literally broke into a CVS and chugged a super soldier serum off the shelf
