Character Name: Robert Reynolds
Codename:Sentry
Alignment:Good
Powers:Chemically Enhanced Physiology: The Sentry's superhuman powers and abilities derive from the Super Soldier Serum as the serum was increased 1000 times. Making it much more potent the experimental serum creates a phase-shift in his molecules, causing each atom to step an instant ahead of the current timeline. The serum induces a photosynthetic reaction, resulting in a hyperstate of consciousness. Though most of his powers and their limits are still unknown but the Sentry has been said to have the power of a million exploding suns, he has displayed several abilities similarly possessed by Superman.
Superhuman Strength: The Sentry possesses vast superhuman strength, granting him the ability to lift (press) far in excess of 100 tons. He has demonstrated several astonishing feats of strength during his career, including easily lifting tremendous weights, ripping Carnage in two (although it is not certain if he is dead), taking Terrax the Tamer's cosmic axe and shattering it with his bare hands, and his unrestrained power overloaded the Absorbing Man. While possessed by The Void he was able to break the Hulk's limbs with relative ease. He can also absorb solar radiation for additional strength. The Sentry has yet demonstrated a limit to his strength, but he easily rivals the likes of the Thor and Hercules. His recent clash with the most powerful incarnation of the Hulk has suggested his physical prowess is among the elite as he was able to hold his own until collapsing.
Superhuman Speed: The Sentry possesses the ability to think, move, and react at superhuman speeds. He has been observed catching bullets and has also been seen moving far in excess of supersonic speeds; his speed on earth is enough to be gauged as fast enough to move at orbital velocity (5 miles a second). It should also be noted that the Sentry has numerously been depicted as able to fly to the sun in a matter of minutes (where it takes light over 8 minutes). This perhaps suggest that his speed during inter-stellar travels is in excess of the speed of light if not near it.
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Agility
Superhuman Reflexes
Superhuman Senses: The Sentry possesses greatly enhanced senses. He is able to hear almost any sound at any volume or pitch. The only Earth creature who can detect sounds at the frequency he can is a blue whale (0.01-200,000 Hz). He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency (He has demonstrated hearing a butterfly's heartbeat in Africa). The range of his eyesight is also far greater than that of a human being. He is able to detect a single person from hundreds of miles in the air and above cloud level. The full extent is unknown.
Flight: The Sentry possesses the ability to float by unknown means, utilizing his superhuman speed to fly far above supersonic speeds. He has demonstrated travelling to the Sun and back in a matter of minutes.
Invulnerability: The Sentry is, for all intents and purposes, physically invulnerable to harm. He has been seen surviving extremely harsh atmospheric conditions, including the vacuums of space. Nick Fury has stated that so far SHIELD has yet to find a way to kill the Sentry, and Iron Man's scanners found no physiological weaknesses in the Sentry's body. How, it has been displayed multiple times that he is susceptible to mental manipulation: by the Void, the Crazed General, and Mastermind.
Photokinesis: It may be theorized that the Sentry also has the superhuman ability to generate, control, and emit light. This ability to produce hard-light constructs may be similar to those of Dazzler's when it was revealed that the Void is a just an expression of his repressed persona, and thus his creation.
Light Projection: By conscious control over the light he produces, he can control its direction, frequency (color), amplitude (intensity), and duration. The Sentry can produce numerous effects with the light he manipulates. He can simply cause a bright glow all about his body. He can create a pulse of light on the order of several thousand watts seconds of power, which temporarily blinds people with its brilliance. This ability has been proven to be able to calm down The Hulk.
Energy Blasts: The Sentry can generate light, heat, force, and other forms of energy in the form of powerful blasts and explosions in a yellow color. These blasts are usually generated from the hands and eyes. The maximum power of these blasts is unknown.
Vast Psionic Abilities: The Sentry possesses powerful psychic and mental forces mainly used for holding his physical form together, though it is not yet mentioned whether the Sentry can use them the way Professor X and other psychics use theirs; the only psychic abilities he has displayed so far was implanting his memories inside Paul Jenkins' mind.
Resurrection: The Sentry appears to be able to bring the dead back to life under extreme emotional distress. After Ultron murdered his wife, Sentry was able to resurrect her by simply touching her. It does not appear he has control over this power, as he was shocked by his ability to do such an act. This may also extend to simply healing others' injuries.
Bio:In 1947, Canada's Weapon X and remnants of the United State's Operation: Rebirth pooled their resources to become Project: Sentry, an attempt to not only recreate the Super Soldier Serum but, in post-war hubris, magnify its effects a thousand times over. Unfortunately, within a few years it had divided nearly a thousandfold itself into isolated sub-projects, with lab work farmed out to private contractors and overall administration virtually nil. Precisely where all of its resources ended up over the decades, what they might have begun, and where they ultimately led is unknown.
Over ten years later, Robert Reynolds, a delivery boy, stumbled upon the laboratory of Professor Cornelius, who would become a trusted ally. It was there that he discovered a glowing serum. Consuming the compound, Robert Reynolds gained the power of a million exploding suns. Project: Sentry, appalled at what their irresponsibility had wrought, persuaded Reynolds to let them test his powers at their facility, but they could not contain him for long, nor contain his desire to use his powers for good use, and the Sentry debuted before a world that had almost forgotten superhuman Samaritans. After trouncing the school bully who had tormented him, Reynolds sewed together a costume and made his debut as the heroic Sentry.
The Sentry was an optimistic and socially accepted hero who stood in marked contrast to the mostly freakish nature of Marvel characters. He had connections to Mister Fantastic, Iron Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man and Professor X. One of very few super heroes active during the years just prior to the Fantastic Four's emergence, Sentry gained new importance when the new wave of heroes rose to prominence. Almost instantly deducing Spider-Man's secret identity, Sentry became a role model for the young hero, as well as an ally to the X-Men, an equal to Reed Richards and a friend to the outcast Hulk. The Sentry even battled Dr. Doom alongside the Fantastic Four and defeated his greatest enemy, the General, with the X-Men's aid.
During this period, the Sentry married the love of his life, Lindy, and took the young Scout as his sidekick; but the arrival of the Void, a shadowy monster that exploited its enemy's greatest fears, ended the Sentry's charmed life. The Void nearly killed Scout, drove Hulk into a rampage, and murdered over one million people in Manhattan. Discovering that the Void had been the dark aspect of his own powers, the Sentry teamed with Reed Richards and Dr. Strange to create a system which made Earth's entire population, themselves included, forget all about the Sentry. With the Sentry inactive and forgotten, the Void vanished.
Extra: WEAKNESSES:
Psychic Assault: The Sentry has a fragile psyche and is readily susceptible to mental manipulation.
The Negative Zone: The Sentry is at his weakest in the Negative Zone. His powers and health gradually deteriorate the longer he is inside the zone itself and even worse, his counterpart/nemesis The Void, rules over the zone.
SKILLS
Genius Level Intellect: Robert is very intelligent. He is capable of using his powers to detect all substances in a single object and break it down to how much of each substance makes up the object. He is adept with mechanics, architecture, machinery, tracing energy sources, cybernetics, robotics, and computers. He used his great intelligence to construct his entire Watchtower as well as everything inside of it. Since he has never been very wealthy, it is likely he recovered all of the substances required for his Watchtower's construction from many different areas of the Earth and other planets. Once he collected the right amounts of different substances he needed, he would then forge them into the materials and parts he needed. His other inventions include CLOC and the Watchwagon.
Skilled Combatant: Robert is an above average unarmed combatant
