From wat i analyse from "Age of the Sentry" #1 i think Sentry's power is based from his mind and wat he thinks... that was made his enemies screw his mind up. Bob felt like a million of explordin suns in him when he down tat serum... so he had the power. --Previous Message-- : Got your attention? Good. I'd like to repeat : some things that I wrote elsewhere. I like : the Sentry as well as most of you but I feel : that the Sentry is not really a heroic : character. He is a tragic figure ultimately, : a tragic figure that possesses an inordinate : amount of raw power. He is a major threat in : a bad way and he is in no way "Marvel's : Superman." : : That's partially because the Sentry's : superpowers encompass more than just : strength, flying, invulnerability, x-ray : vision and super-ventriloquism! My guess is : that the Sentry harnesses the quantum : fluctuation of the 3 degree microwave : background, perhaps on the level of a false : vacuum. Some of that sort of make sense. : : Anyway, with this ability he can use photons : (bosons) to rearrange matter and energy at a : quantum level: he can control all matter and : energy, at nearly any level, using energy : itself to manipulate space-time! Thus the : only superhero who can take him down is : possibly the Silver Surfer! It also means : that his "Superman-powers" really : are a contrivance of the mentally ill Bob : Reynolds. He can really mimic or even : acquire any superpowers that he wants to! If : Bob wanted to have stretchy powers, he : can... If Bob wants to shot bolts of mental : energy, he can! This, plus the fact that the : Void is also the Sentry means that the : Sentry is ultimately not a superhero at all. : He's a compelling character, and I like him : but he's really a disturbing character who : ultimately poses a threat. : : Don't get me wrong I love some of the : metaphysical ideas that come along with : "godlike" characters such as : Leonard Tippett, the Phoenix and even Alpha : the Ultimate Mutant (whatever happened to : him). This is why I like the Sentry but what : I don't like is the mishandling of the : Sentry. This whole business of him being : like "Superman" is ridiculous. : Those powers are what Bob Reynolds wants to : have but Bob Reynolds is ultimately not very : heroic: he's eminently dangerous. : : I hope Marvel constructs a high-quality plot : around the Sentry and avoids actually making : him "Marvel's Superman. That not only : denigrates the Sentry but also denigrates : Marvel as well as, yes, Superman! : :
