there is no way that sentry is a supes clone! the are about as opposite as two characters can be! superman is  a boyscout who only ever does the right thing! pretty much the definition of hero! and then you have sentry, who so far is just a scared child with the power of a god! the only similarities between the 2 are strength, speed and flight! sentry also has many other powers like telepathy and some sort of energy manipulation + im sure there are more powers that are yet to be shown! if the only thing that makes a character to you are the powers then yes, you could say that the characters have some similarities but beyond that they are absolutely nothing alike!!!
anyone agree!

I disagree.

He's not a clone but he's definitely based on Superman.

Nope. He's a Superman clone. They are working to distance him from that image, but they're not doing a very good job. So far all they've managed to do is confuse his character origins, powers, and personality so that every writer that uses him contradicts someone else.

would anyone like to tell me why they believe this?

He has a cape, he doesn't wear a mask, he wears a freaking S. His powers are the same as Superman's He has other powers that Superman doesn't have, but he never ever uses them. Like Superman, he is described as the strongest Superhero on the planet. Sure, their mentality is not the same, but in everything else, he's a clear reference.

Gladiator is a for more obvious clone than Sentry, but Sentry is a clone just as well.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the sun thing too.

i think they are, both are one of the strongest and are people last resort when fighting something big, they have similar powers, but i do think marvel tried to create another superman but had to give him extra so people wont try to make them seem similar, they didnt do a good job

I agree that they psychologically are different.It's pretty undeniable in my own opinion that they're costumes are similar and they're powers are quite alike.I like Sentry but believe Marvel has done a terrible job with an idea that could've been approached in a different way ultimately getting better results and less haters of the character.

he's a flawed version of Superman: psychologically and power wise, or maybe it's just the first one......we shall see

Gonna have to agree with Vance and AtPhantom on this one. He is what you would typically describe as a superman clone. However, I don't think that alone is reason enough to demonize him. It's not like he's the first.

Captain Marvel aka Shazam!
Miracleman (who was in turn a Capt. Marvel rip-off) ((But Alan Moore's Miracleman reboot IS one of the best comics I have ever read.))
Supreme
Mr. Majestic

That's just a few, but I'm sure there are more.

Unlike Superman, the Sentry keeps his underwear inside his pants

When Superman was created, Siegel and Shuster didn't just create a hero, they did something amazing.  They created an archetype.  As a result, many other comic book creators have copied this archetype, even within DC comics itself.

Captain Marvel
Sentry
Plutonian
Astonishman
Hyperion

The list could go on and on, but I'm at work.  And yes, Sentry is a copy of the Superman archetype.

I would love to see someone create a new archetype one day

As the Superman clones go, he is the least similar. Except for the S on his belt. "

There is really nothing to respond to."

Supreme is the superman clone......has all his abilities too, freeze breath, heat ray and all that jazz that sentry does not have........one could argue that Sentry basicaly has the abilities of several marvel characters in one......i dont see the comparison at all......when superman can ressurect people or read people's minds, or wipe everyones mind on a planet  you let me know it seems Sentry was made with a lot of marvel characters in mind rather than supergay , besides the S on his waist i see no arguement.......Superman has some of his abilities.......but then again Sentry has more abilties than superman too boot........DC comics doesn't have a copyright on abilities LOL !. it's more apparent that Doomsday is a Hulk clone more than it is with Sentry and superman

"Sentry=Superman Moon Knight=Batman  well how about...  Spider-Man=Blue Beatle (Ted Cord) Luke Cage=Cyborg Ms Marvel=Wonder Woman and Deadpool=Death Stroke THEY ARE NOT RIP-OFFS OF DC CHARACTERS! None of them. Yes they have similarities, but they are entirly diffrent people. Having basis on a character dose not make them a clone/ripoff of that character. Try to see their dirffrences people, not their similarities!  (PS Marvel is way better) "

What the Hell ... Luke Cage is the only character on this list that predates the DC character you've aligned him with... But damn near every super hero (or villain) has some level of super strength. The only other reason anyone would have to compare these two characters is that they're Black... WTF? Super strength isn't even that signification within the parameters of Cyborgs Power Set. He uses intelligence and tech: he very rarely relies on physical strength ... Why not compare Cyborg to DeathLok or someone like that? ... Even Iron Man would have been a much much better comparison.

Kinda convenient for Marvel Fans if we get everyone to ignore all the blatant stealing they've done huh?
