well Rob in the original mini only had to bring out the Sentry again becaus he started to become the void so yeah that makes sense. --Previous Message-- : 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). : : : :
