Hyperion
Character » Hyperion appears in 667 issues.
Hyperion is Marvel's first Superman pastiche. He is most often associated with the super-team known as the Squadron Supreme and was an Avenger at one point. Though he is one of many active versions across a myriad of alternate universes, Hyperion is still one of the mightiest super-humans in the Marvel Multiverse.
Hyperion..better then Sentry?
Honestly, these days The Sentry is the most powerful sufferer of down's syndrome in the Marvel Universe. I really hate it because when he was introduced in the Avengers originally I was super pumped at the potential of his character. He has virtually never had an outing where he wasn't subjected to ludicrous PIS. Last issue of Young Avengers Wiccan + minor help seemingly banished him from physical reality and thats hardly the worst he's had.
I don't think Hyperion is better but I'd certainly rather read about him. He gets to actually do things. Sentry never does anything, ever and generally acts with the mind of a child. Check out his dialog with Norman in Dark Avengers for more info. It's really sad and a waste of a very powerful and hugely hyped character.
@Wireman:
i saw both hyperpion and the hulk fight each other but sadly hyperpion lost by the hulk i agree with you hyperion is cool i wish they do more comicbooks of him
there both parodies, whatever of Superman. they never denied that. i take it Gladiator>King Hyperion>Hyperion Supreme Power> Sentry>Hyperion Squadron here.They aren't parodies.They are homages.
I liked Sentry at first. I thought his history was a good test in retconning creatively. But the writing started to get chaotic and his charm left. Hyperion is better though. Supreme Power was great and the old Squadron Supreme comic was great.
It says it on his page..."Hyperion is the leader and the physically most powerful member of Earth-712's preeminent super-team, the Squadron Supreme. Hyperion is also the mightiest hero of his world. Although he's a Marvel Comics superhero, Hyperion is a pastiche of DC Comic's Superman." So Hyperion FTW : )
Do you think Hyperion is the better version of Marvel's Superman then Sentry?
I do!!
Tell me what you think
I agree , he would crush the Sentry.
After Marvel Now Avengers, i enjoy reading this hyperion bloke.... solid character, and not whiny = awesome... he does get philosophical, and i tend to go wuhhhhwuhhhh in the mind.
Hyperion
Agreed.
I actually like and want to see want to see what is going to be done with the character.

i take it Gladiator>King Hyperion>Hyperion Supreme Power> Sentry>Hyperion Squadron here.
I agree with this list but would include Blue Marvel right after Gladiator

Blue marvel
Quote-
He also easily stopped a meteorite the size of Arkansas from striking Earth using his great strength.
The Watcher said that Blue Marvel could have "split the moon in two" with one blow. He has also survived a 1 megaton atomic bomb exploding in his hands without suffering any type of damage. He has shown to have energy manipulation powers using his anti-matter. He can release concentrated beams from his hands or an omni-direction blasts throughout his body. He has also been shown to create power shields strong enough to deflect a charging attacks from King Hyperion In a short time, the Blue Marvel has established himself as a premier powerhouseintheMarveluniverse. Prince Namor himself stated that after the Blue Marvel's long hiatus that only the Hulk and Thor have hit him as hard.

Sentry is more powerful, but Hyperion is the better superclone (and, IMHO, the more likeable character).
Sentry is based on miracleman.
Hyperion is based on superman. : )
i thought sentry was superman rip off :/

Even there is superficial similarities that's all they have in common.
I enjoy Sentry more because of his massive complexity. Gladiator comes next, due to his unique confidence-based power-amp. Hyperion just seems like he's thrown in whenever a powerhouse is needing a beatdown.
Hyperion is in my top 5 Marvel characters and I love the Supreme Power run at least the #1 to #18 issues.
Really love to see him as a hero in the main universe with his own book.
When you say that Hyperion is better, do you mean that he is more like Superman than Sentry? If so, sure he is.
No hate for the Sentry as a concept, I just think it's fallen flat. Maybe if with all that power he was more of a boss and less of a b***h then people gave him more attention.
