MARVEL WIKI- SENTRY Robert Reynolds became the Sentry, one of the first and mightiest superheroes after ingesting an experimental super-soldier formula. He is trapped in a constant battle with his darker side known as the Void. Most recently, the Sentry was resurrected by the Apocalypse Twins as one of their Horsemen, the Horseman of Death. Although the characters exact abilities and their limits are unknown, he has been shown to lift a Helicarrier (with assistance from Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man); effortlessly defeat and break the handle of the axe of Terrax, a herald of Galactus shown as powerful enough to slice planets in half (although at the time Sentry fought him, his full power level was not evident); severely pummel and nearly tear apart the female Ultron, and easily shatter shields of Doctor Doom. During the Sentrys initial miniseries, Spider-Man, in a moment of reflection, recalls that the Sentry fought and stalemated Galactus at one point. He generally greatly restrains his full power, but when unleashing it he has even overloaded the Absorbing Man; and fought an extremely enraged Hulk for a prolonged time until both fighters reverted to their human forms, whereupon Reynolds collapsed. He possesses superhuman speed, making him easily able to evade or catch bullets; and through flight he can travel to the sun and back in a matter of minutes. The Sentry is also apparently invulnerable: Spider-Womans venom blasts, capable of killing even superhumans at full power, have no effect upon him. Nick Fury has stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet found a way to kill the Sentry, and Iron Mans scanners have found no physical weaknesses in his body. Given that he was revealed to have been carrying on an affair with Rogue, he seemed to be resistant even to her powers. The Sentry also has superhumanly acute senses, as he once told an opponent that he could see his nerve centers. He can emit light, which can be used for a pacifying effect, and possesses powers of tremendous energy projection, from both his hands and eyes, capable of harming even the Hulk (in his Green Scar incarnation), who has withstood the equivalent of solar flares unharmed, and also released planet destroying energy against Genis-Vell. The Sentry has also at times demonstrated the ability to instantly teleport himself away in a blinding flash of light. He was once able to implant his memories inside another persons mind, and uses his allegedly vast mental powers to hold his physical form together. After Ultron murdered his wife, Sentry was able to resurrect her by simply touching her. His main weakness may be that hes been shown as susceptible to mental manipulation. The Sentry has demonstrated the ability to recreate himself after bodily destruction, up to and including total molecular destruction within seconds (he once tried to commit suicide by flying into the heart of the sun). Dialogue between Reynolds and the Void suggests that this particular capability is automatic, involuntary, and beyond the control of either Roberts or the Void. He eventually found out that all his powers apparently derive from abilities similar to those of the virtually omnipotent Molecule Man, which he uses to take control of the latters body and resurrect himself multiple times after seemingly being annihilated, but he is not as experienced in manipulating reality yet. During a conversation between Lindy, CLOC, and the Void, it is hinted that the Sentrys powers may come from a cosmic source, or possibly even from the Judeo-Christian God, with Lindy believing that his powers were of maybe Biblical proportions and theorizing that modern-day superheroes were conduits through which such higher power was now being channeled. When Steve Rogers demands that Norman Osborn tell him how the heroes are to stop the Void, Osborn says (albeit possibly figuratively) that the Void was the Angel of Death; an earlier Biblical flashback also revealed that the being that brought the divine plagues down on Egypt was apparently similar in appearance to the Void, who, millennia later, claims to the Sentry when attacking New York that doing so is Gods way. The Watcher himself confirms that the Void is indeed the Angel of Death, and it is shown, when fully unleashing its true power, able to easily decimate the Earth and its Moon, and seemingly threaten the cosmos themselves. Allegedly due to covering up his past as a thief and addict, Robert Reynolds projects an entity as a dark side effect of his powers. It has been claimed that for every benevolent act the Sentry performs, the Void corresponds with attempting an act of malevolence. He was formerly unaware that the Void was a false personality, but has since been informed otherwise. In the 2009 storyline Utopia, it was temporarily separated from his being, with a shard of its essence placed within Emma Frost which is later transferred to Scott Summers and currently resides locked away in his mind. Several reasons for the existence of the Void have been given: the innate division between good and evil in any nominally normal person; a mind virus put into place by the mutant Mastermind by order of the crazed General; the idea that the Void is in fact the true personality of Rob Reynolds and the Sentry is the false one; as mentioned above, the result of covering up his past; and, according to Norman Osborn the Sentrys superhumanity eroded his humanity, leading to a void in his life. During the Siege storyline, the Void exhibits a more demonic form, capable of nearly slaughtering Thor, bringing down the entire city of Asgard, and striking down every immortal and mortal hero set against it simultaneously, as well later killing the Norn Stone-powered Loki in seconds. Norman Osborn claims that it is the Angel of Death, tying into an earlier prelude which showed the Voids presence in biblical times. The Void possesses the ability to shape-shift, and through its control over the weather and darkness it can create destructive storms and deadly infini-tendrils that attack the mind. Victims impaled on the tendrils experience traumatic visions of the past, present, and future. Its regular appearance varies between a shadowy, trench coat-wearing villain to a massive hurricane of darkness. It can also assume powers dependent on shape, like a flame form that breathes fire, alternately an armored monster with superstrength and toughness. It is at its strongest during the night and in the Negative Zone, where it has shown itself capable of easily overpowering the Hulk by breaking almost every single bone in his body in moments. Coincidentally, Sentry is at his weakest in the Negative Zone. A mere physical assault required much effort to hold off, even with the combined force fields of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and the Invisible Woman, while the united forces of the New Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Inhumans, Illuminati, and heavily armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents simultaneously attacked it. As a horseman of death, he gained the ability to move object with his mind, being able to halt Thors Mjolnir hurled at him only inches away from his face.
