In the comics he is a relatively recent character, as he debuted in the cartoons in 2000. It was in his own series that had his name as its title. Subsequently, he has been part of the New Avengersthe Mighty Avengersthe Dark Avengers and the Horsemen of Apocalypse. It is actually called Robert Reynolds and he is a poor depressed, alcoholic middle-aged man. He suffers from psychotic delusions and is somewhat overweight. However, one day Bob He found a strange serum. When ingested, the results were exceptional. And this concoction contained the recipe for the serum of the super soldier of the Captain America multiplied by hundreds of times.

Among his abilities are the ability to fly, super strength, laser vision, regeneration, invulnerability or super speed, among others. These powers seem strangely familiar. And, deep down, Sentry It is nothing more than one of the many replicas that Marvel has tried to make superman. However, by having a certain dramatic context and having to deal with complex psychological problems, it is much more interesting than the rest. Because, although he may be the best superhero there is, his delicate mental disorders also make him the biggest possible threat.
Such is his misfortune that in one of his adventures Bob doesn’t even remember what it is The Sentry. But neither does the rest of the world. One day, memories come to the man’s mind, and he discovers that his great enemy, The Void, stalks the Earth. To avoid this, he tries to gather the main heroes of the planet, who little by little remember him. But in the end he realizes that The Void He is nothing more than his counterpart, and the more recognized he is, the greater that dark side becomes. For this reason, he ends up engineering together with Doctor Strange already Reed Richards a way to make the world forget him again – in the style Spider-Man: No Way Home—. Even he himself stops remembering the superheroic side of him again.
