Talk:Sentry (Robert Reynolds)

message: So, should we make a pointer to this character on the Robert Reynolds page?  There's already a real person with that name, which is why there is an article in the first place, so I'm not sure if it would be a good idea or not.
:I'd say so yeah. We do so with other comic articles, usually. Kusonaga 08:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pointer from Robert Reynolds 

message: One thing I think will help us is to create a section dealing solely with how the connection between Reynolds, the Sentry, and the Void is depicted in various comics. No interpretation, just descriptions of what is shown. --Chris Griswold 21:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is why I have removed the troublesome details from the NAA description. All we know for sure is that she is overcome by the Void. We don't know for sure that is the Sentry or the Void talking to her, and it's not clear that the Sentry is controlling the Void. I will work with the issue #7 information. --Chris Griswold 11:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sentry and the Void 

message: On a side note, I just read in a Wizard interview with Brian Michael Bendis (or some Marvel guy anyway, I can't recall which), commentary on the rumours that the Sentry might be Thor.  Since he commented on that, should we include it in the article, and if so, where?  Perhaps in the Hoax section?
:Yes, because both Marvel and the PR magazine Wizard were complicit in the first hoax. Neither source is truly believable at this point, so any crazy news like that should go in the hoax section. We need the actual, accurate information.--Chris Griswold 11:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I think reporting what Brian Michael Bendis said would be best considered accurate.  Yes, sometimes they can engage in fakery, but too much paranoia on our part would be extreme.  Especially given that Thor seems to be returning as his own character, and as Thor did appear in the original Sentry series with him, so it'd be hard to believe anyway.  FrozenPurpleCube 22:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think that announcements concerning a character based in a hoax should be taken with a grain of salt. There is no reason to believe anything that's said by Marvel or Wizard about this character. They have already shown that trust in them concerning this issue is misplaced. --Chris Griswold 08:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Eh, I just don't think they'd keep doing the joke, plus I can't see how they'd benefit from making up a line with BMB saying he thought it was a great idea.  But if you don't mind it in the Hoax section, that's ok with me.

thread_title:  Thor Rumors 

message: I know this is a stupid, nit-picky question, but how does one site a comic with a volume number?
Like for The Sentry -- Is it:
The Sentry vol. 1 #2 (with "vol." all in lower-case)
or
The Sentry Vol. 1 #2 (with a capital "V")
or something completley different?
I just want to know for my sake.  Anybody?

replies: text:  The WikiProject Comics Exemplars page isn't always 100% up-to-date, but lists it as a capital V, so I'm currently assuming that's the official format. --Mrph 21:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right: The exemplars page needs to be updated. It's X-Men, volume 2. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics). --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 21:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have been seeing increasing internet rumors that the Sentry will ultimatly be revealed as the Beyonder.  Is anyone aware if this stems from any legitimite citable source, or is it mere conjecture?  In short, there seems to be increased speculation that Sentry is not really the Sentry, either by his actions (tearing apart Carnage and vaporizing Creel) and/or by some Marvelesque source (which I am unaware what it might be), the speculation might be benificial to mention in the article (particulary if any sources can be expanded upon). 66.109.248.114
:no. It's rumor. --24.3.194.217 07:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This series of posts by Rick Veitch about the Sentry's conception has been getting a lot of attention lately.  It is clear Veitch had some role in the creation, or at least in the formulation of the original concept if not necessarily playing a direct role in the character's first Marvel appearances.  In a similar vein, Bill Jemas is credited as co-creating Ultimate Spider-Man with Bendis & Bagley despite not playing a direct creative role (writer or illustrator).  So, should Veitch be listed as one of the creators of the character?  Either way, Veitch's recollections must be included in the article as they represent an interesting look into the heretofore unknown pre-history of the creation of the character. Thoughts? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 16:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  The series of posts do seem compelling , and don't appear to be 'glory-seeking' and seem to give a lot of due to Jenkins and Lee.  This seems like a good incorporation about the conception of the character and lead in to the series. -Sharp962 (talk) 20:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Question, was the Sentry's first appearance in Sentry 1 or in Wizard or something like that leading into the series? -Sharp962 (talk) 20:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

message: If the Sentry is more powerful than Owen Wilson, who's stronger than Luke Wilson, Gene Hackman or Jackie Chan?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.217.131 (talk) 07:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He wasn't shown or stated as more powerful. Molecule Man has been beaten in single combat by Ulysses Klaw, and also completely outclassed the Beyonder, both around the same time. (I also read somewhere that the Living Tribunal itself created/empowered him as an experiment with granting omnipotence to mortals, but don't remember the source) Owen mostly limits himself to small-scale physical combat, at which he is very vulnerable, easily distracted, and occasionally schizophrenic, rather than go full higher dimensional omnipotent entity as he did in the last Beyonder battle. Sentry took advantage of just such an opportunity. Regardless, since the Sentry stated that his abilities are very similar, if this is true he really would be an even bigger problem than the Scarlet Witch. Regardless, destroying his physical body may only somewhat inconvenience him, if he learns to use his abilities the same way Sentry does. Dave (talk) 12:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

message: So, these days we have the Void (or pieces of him anyway) around doing things in comics that Sentry himself does not appear in.  Is this something that would prompt the creation for an article about the Void only, or would we try to shoehorn that into this article? Arkon (talk) 22:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  General question 

message: I originally added the reference on the main page where Spider-Man is reflecting on The Sentry fighting Galactus to a standstill, and someone decided to add in "with the help of Nate Grey" to that section.  I removed this, as it is NOT in line with the comics.  Nate Grey, not wanting to deal with The Sentry and knowing that he's not mentally stable, used his telepathy to prey on this fact in the Dark X-Men series to confuse The Sentry into thinking he was an old friend of his that helped him stop Galactus.  In turn, The Sentry got confused and ran off to "think about it" or something to that extent.  Osborn snidedly retorted that Nate used a lie to confuse The Sentry, to which Nate replied that he was telling the truth.  However, here's the problem with accepting that statement as fact.
When Spider-Man reflected on The Sentry fighting off Galactus, the time that that would have taken place would have been WELL before the Age of Apocalypse timeline, which was in turn necessary for Nate Grey to come to our reality.  Quite frankly, Nate Grey didn't EXIST when The Sentry supposedly tackled Galactus!  Not to mention, Spider-Man only reflected on The Sentry tackling Galactus, and made no mention of Nate Grey.  'Nuff said!
