Speculation over Robert Reynold's true feelings about his superhero alter-ego began midway in the miniseries, when Sentry told Dr. Worth that Robert was a paranoid junkie who only drank the serum to get high. It's also possible that since Sentry and Void are the ultimate examples of good and evil, they look down and exaggerate the "negative" aspects of their host Robert Reynolds. --Previous Message-- : I just wanted to start a thread on the big : secret, since it seems there's some : confusion/dispute about how 'big' it was. I : haven't gone back and re-read the series : from start to finish, but it seems to me : that a lot of folks thought the big secret : would "doom the universe." Given : how things turned out in issue eight, it : seems to me the big secret relates to the : Sentry, alone, which doesn't really undercut : its importance. : : So here's what I think the big secret was : (which was pretty disturbing, imo): that : Robert didn't want to be the Sentry. : : Seems to me that, for the Sentry persona, it : has to be a pretty big blow to find out that : your alter ego is actually a mentally : disturbed drug addict who'd rather be a : hideous killer, than an actual hero ... : which is what the series started hinting at : midway into things, and really made clear in : the last issue. : : : Basically, my understanding of things now is : that Bob wasn't in hiding because if he : became the Sentry, the Void would show (ala : the New Avengers storlyine). Rather, it was : the reverse: he was in hiding because if he : acted as the Void he would also have to act : as the Sentry ... and THAT'S what he didn't : want to do : : I could be wrong about all of this ... and : will definitely re-read the story from start : to finish ... but if what I've said IS the : case, then yeah: that's a pretty damaging : secret, so far as the Sentry persona itself : goes (and is a major threat to the world, if : the Sentry saves tons and tons of lives : before the Void returns). : :
