==Summary==
The Sentry (Robert "Bob" Reynolds) is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. The character first appears in The Sentry #1 (Sep. 2000) and was created by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, with uncredited conceptual contributions by Rick Veitch.
Empowered by the enigmatic Professor's secret formula, high school student Robert Reynolds became a superhuman. After trouncing the school bully who had tormented him, Reynolds sewed together a costume and made his debut as the heroic Sentry. One of very few super heroes active during the years just prior to the Fantastic Four's emergence, Sentry gained new importance when the new wave of heroes rose to prominence. Almost instantly deducing Spider-Man's secret identity, Sentry became a role model for the young hero, as well as an ally to the X-Men, an equal to Reed Richards and a friend to the outcast Hulk. The Sentry even battled Doctor Doom alongside the Fantastic Four and defeated his greatest enemy, the General, with the X-Men's aid.
During this period, the Sentry married the love of his life, Lindy, and took the young Scout as his sidekick; but the arrival of the Void, a shadowy monster that exploited its enemy's greatest fears, ended the Sentry's charmed life. The Void nearly killed Scout, drove Hulk into a rampage, and murdered over one million people in Manhattan. Discovering that the Void had been the dark aspect of his own powers, the Sentry teamed with Reed Richards and Doctor Strange to create a system which made Earth's entire population, themselves included, forget all about the Sentry. With the Sentry inactive and forgotten, the Void vanished.

Standard Equipment: CLOC sentient computer system that feeds him information from all over the world and prioritizes what emergencies he should handle
Intelligence: Average (Robert Reynolds' mind is broken into many pieces. He has all the power, and potentially the intelligence, however, he doesn't even know he is smart, so he doesn't use his intelligence) | Extraordinary Genius (Considered an equal to a very early Reed Richards by various people, and one of the smartest people on the planet.

In addition, he also created CLOC, who can monitor the entire world and predict what will happen next. CLOC helps Sentry save the world) | Extraordinary Genius (Void is an equal of the Sentry in every possible way.

He is prone to be manipulated by cunning individuals (like hacking CLOC to overwhelm and deceive him with false disaster information, which distressed him into inaction for hours) When exposed to Anti-Matter/Negative Zone energies, such as Anti-Man and Blue Marvel, it depowers the Sentry, but not the Void persona. Depending on which personality is favored by Robert Reynolds, that personality will gain more power. However, he loses these weaknesses in stable form. | Mentally and emotionally unstable like his other personalities. Depending on which personality is favored by Robert Reynolds, that personality will gain more power and some times, the Void loses due to Robert preferring his other - perfect - form. However, he loses these weaknesses in stable form. | Spiritual energy based attacks, such as Chi, have been shown to be capable of injuring him especially when inflicted by someone powerful.

Notable Attacks and Techniques
*The Void: A cosmic monster created by Robert Reynolds with his molecular powers after he drank the Sentry serum, to embody the negative parts of him that he can't control and were accentuated by the serum. In the past he materialized on his own as a separate entity that balanced the Sentry's heroics with evil, or was directly created when Reynolds believed him to be around. He lost power and faded when Reynolds willed it after achieving mental stability and dominion of himself or when Sentry mindwiped himself and everybody else after the Void was becoming too independent and powerful, also being defeated by Sentry when their balance was broken (after the Void killed more people than the Sentry saved). But the Void always returned on his own as long as Sentry existed, in fact every seen incarnation of the character has displayed varying degrees of the Void in order to be able to act against his enemies even when performing heroics. During the events of Secret Invasion the Sentry and the Void personas merged again, with the Void starting to assert dominance throughout the events of Dark Reign (especially manifesting after Sentry suffered mental trauma or severe physical damage), culminating with the Void getting released during the events of Siege. It was also been speculated that the Void and the Sentry's power source is the Judeo-Christian God, or that Robert Reynolds became empowered by a similar force.
*Infinitendrils: Black tendrils he can sprout from his body or from dark clouds he creates with his molecular powers. They can attack physically, make stuff explode on contact or phase into people to take control of their minds, inflict traumatic visions of their past, present and future or eat their souls.
Note:
*Robert can increase and decrease the power of either of his other selves when he wishes to. For example, here in Sentry/Void #1, the Void persona got a sudden a boost in power. Later in Dark Avengers #13, his Sentry persona wants to kill himself, so he becomes weak enough to be burned off by the sun, but then he comes back relatively easily when Void convinces him otherwise. In the next page - first panel, we see him next to the sun with minimal damage. The Void isn't in control here, he takes control after he convinces Sentry to let him come out and he goes into hiding (inside his mind) for a while. In Sentry 2018 #3, Scout, Sentry's former sidekick gives us more details about how their powers work. Sentry's emotions and will plays a major role in which one becomes the stronger entity.
*Regarding their powers and abilities;
**Sentry and Void can use each others powers and abilities, but chooses not to because of the different set of beliefs they have.
**Robert is the main source of Sentry and Void's power - in other words, he has all the powers, and as such, he can do everything the others can, perhaps even to a greater degree. However, due to his mental problems, he does not know he can do all of these things, which is why he employs his manifestations/avatars to do his bidding.
*The Sentry being stated to have fought Galactus to a standstill once (Later stated to have happened with the help of Nate Grey) should remain a non-feat as long as details regarding the state of Galactus and the fight itself remain unknown.
