After ingesting an experimental super-soldier formula, the lowly Robert Reynolds became the Sentry, if only in his mind.
In constant battle with his dark side known as the Void, the Sentry has been forgotten and dead, he has resurrected and vanished. Even if he is one of earth's greatest heroes, he is also one of the world's greatest dangers.
He'll be back. I for one welcome his forthcoming return. Hopefully this time the writers will have a plan for him; His character has a lot of potential. He'll probably incubate in the sun for a while and reemerge as a cosmic character like adam warlock or Nova.
Darkseid is equal to Thanos and Thanos can defeat Sentry by his tricks and Superman has defeated Darksied more than once. and Thor can defeat Thanos only in his dreams. Thus even superman is not the strongest in his universe but he is the strongest in marvel universe. Poor marvel.
@Doombot_666: Thor killed Sentry because Bob wanted to die. Otherwise he could have reorganize his body molecules as he done at the starting of their fight when Thor struck him with lighting bolts. And what Sentry did to Ares and Asgard, Molecule Man can do the same and Scarlet Witch too!
I don't think he died, Sentry was immortal and at the end of the fight screams "kill me", Thor finally chucks him into the Sun, a place that Sentry gets his powers from

i was led to believe sentry got his powers from the serum he took...what does the sun do for him?
Probably not. Its an extreme rarity to find a stance these days where people won't agree with you or likewise disagree with you.
Is anyone else happiest when painted like a zebra running though the park throwing rocks at old people? This is the internet, your going to find at least three people who would legitimately and sincerely agree with you. Does anyone disagree with you that violent drunk people eating raw three legged puppies is wrong? This is the internet you will find people that disagree, and that the drunk was performing a mercy killing.
Me, I fall into the not so happy group. I liked Sentry. That being said, I am a little happy. Far too many fans are limited in there perspectives, they think that the characters have their own sentient will and they get pissy at writers when a writer seemingly contradicts his own writing, but didn't really, the reader just didn't understand jack about jill because of typical my favorite characterz is betta than yoursz type thinking. So I am not happy a good character with potential died, a little bit happy a overhyped character that most people didn't quite grasp gets to have a Time out in the the rotating revolver door that is Death in the MU.

He took the serum cos he was a deadbeat junkie and was looking for a buzz to get high, the serum was Cap America juice X 50, it powered him to be a hero and powered his alter ego the Void to be a super villain....we are later told it was not Cap America juice but a kind of Galactus juice or Biblical juice. The serum gave him superpowers and caused a photosynthetic reaction to sun light where he could absorb or project solar radiation and he was one second ahead of time.
I know this power thing, Sentry origins thing doesn't make sense but that's the way Sentry was wrote, he was wrote not making sense. The explaination of his powers would flip from one month to the next and his origin and backstory was retconed every couple of months.
IMO Sentry won the fight
but Thor had to kill him off for a while because there wasn't any other way to write Sentry, he was wrecked beyond repair
@juggy: When ever superman beats darkseid its either an avatar or PIS if its the real darkseid as there is no way he should be bale to do so. Current darksied however is below Thanos he's not as stronga as he used to be.
Sentry stomped Thor hard... and again the last didn't use any of his powers besides throwing Mjolnir like always. I think I already knew that was going to happen, Sentry is freaking amped with that death/celestial seed but the fight was disappointing and thor was down with the first energy projection!!!!!
It is now proven (uncanny avengers #11) that sentry's durability is inferior to thor's one. The sun could actually burn him, while thor has fought in star's cores without troubles. By the way Sentry can reform indefinitely and has molecule manipulation, so he should have the upper hand in confrontations (unless thor has odin force, that give him reality warping powers)
Someone on another thread said Sentry had beaten Thor. Is this true? I can only find information on the fight where Thor killed Sentry.
he recently came back from the dead as a horsemen and tossed thor around.
Yeah but Sentry was amped by the Death Seed (for example when Hulk was amped as a Horseman, he beat Juggernaut fairly easily and not even World War Hulk could manage anything more than a stalemate against Juggernaut) and he surprised Thor along with weakening him in some gamma lava stuff. But he does seem and probably will be more powerful than Thor.

I don't think that's how it works with that guy. The sun did burn him to the last atom, but most likely, because he wanted that to keep himself 'dead'. He wanted it enough at that point. He was in the sun once before and regenerated from a skeleton, because he didn't want to die enough and we saw him fully healed inside of the sun for a moment. Then it looked like he teleported out of it. So his durability seems to be high enough to withstand the heat of the sun, if he doesn't have an inner conflict. It's about what he wants and after Siege he wanted to remain dead, so I guess it was once again a fight between good and evil. The evil side of him kept regenerating and the good side kept the durability level low and burning down, until the evil side gave up or something like that. I think that @killemall mentioned something similar in a battle thread. Don't know which one it was, but with Sentry being unharmed in the core of the sun, when he didn't want to die enough. So Thor is not necessarily more durable than Sentry, even though the feats suggest that he is by far, but when facing Sentry he did kinda look bad.

Sentry without the Void has molecule manipulation?
He has always had matter manipulation, presumably done true using his psionic energy. He made the whole tower disapper , he has created his costumes and stuff, he just hasn't used it offensively without Voiding out.
Sentry was created to be the most powerful super hero but yeah his mental problems and stuffs was always what held his back, which is exactly what it was designed to do.
@themadsurfer: I honestly think Thor vs Sentry was always meant to be pretty even steven affair, sadly we never actually got to see an actual Thor vs Sentry without the Void aspect coming into pay in 616 reality. We have seen few alternate realities where they have been matched, and without Void being mentioned Sentry was killed by Thor in one reality, and with Void Thor got ripped into peices as well as the whole Asgard.
I think i , more or less, agree with the totally non-canon tone as how they were meant to fair. With all his limitation Thor beating Sentry actually made sense, with his self imposed limitations away, i.e. in Void mode, he making short work of Thor seem just as reasonable.
@killemall: You are right thor and sentry(without the void) are in the same league it's just that every time thor loses a fight even against the Void he doesn't use any of his powers except lightnings. In my opinion when you put thor with his classic characteristics "fighting smartly" very few heroes can put a fight against him, in Thor vs Gorr series avenger Thor made me remember that time...

When facing a freaking amped sentry you mean...
You are probably right, being in the core of the sun should not be a problem to a matter manipulator
