Robert Reynolds

**Robert Reynolds** is **The Sentry**, a powerful superhero. 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.

## History

### Early Years

In March 1947, Canada's Department K and remnants of the United States' Operation: Rebirth pooled their resources to become Project: Sentry, an attempt to not only recreate the Super Soldier Serum, but in post-war hubris, magnify its effects one hundred thousand times over. Unfortunately, within a thirty years it had been divided nearly a thousandfold into isolated sub-projects, with lab work farmed out to private contractors. The overall administration of the Project was virtually nil. Precisely where all of its resources ended up over the decades, what they might have begun, and where they ultimately led, is currently unknown.

Over ten years later, Robert Reynolds, a meth addict, broke into the laboratory of an unnamed professor. It was there that he discovered the Golden Sentry Serum. Consuming the compound, Robert Reynolds gained the power of a million exploding suns. This act killed his partner and the lab's guards. He then asked the Professor to make more for himself.

Project: Sentry, appalled at what their irresponsibility had wrought, persuaded Reynolds to let them test his powers at their facility, but they could not contain him for long, nor curb his desire to use his powers for the greater good of all, and the Sentry debuted before a world that had almost forgotten superhuman Samaritans. After trouncing the school bully who had tormented him, Reynolds sewed together a costume and made his debut as the heroic Sentry.

The Sentry was an optimistic and socially accepted hero who stood in marked contrast to the mostly freakish nature of the other heroes. During this period, the Sentry married the love of his life, Lindy, and took the young Scout as his sidekick. Lindy got swept up in it all, excited at the prospect of meeting other heroes. She eventually learned of Robert's addiction but did nothing about it. She even feared that taking the serum must have awakened something of biblical proportions. She later stated that she should have killed him on their wedding night.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Chemically Enhanced Physiology:** The Sentry's superhuman powers and abilities derive from Golden Sentry Serum. The experimental serum granted him photokinetic based powers, essentially being fueled by the sun itself. His various powers seem to be based in molecule manipulation or reality warping, all stemming from his base solar charged body. Though most of his powers and their limits are still unknown, the Sentry has been said to have the power of a million exploding suns. The Sentry possesses vast telepathic powers, tremendous telekinetic powers, the ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts, and the ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter and energy. His powers are so great that he has been able to create pocket universes, and his abilities have been described as equal to the Celestials. He is so powerful that Karla Sofen theorized in front of Lex Luthor that what happened after Zatanna broke down would be nothing compared to what Sentry could do. Sentry has also fought Anti-Monitor. He was stated to be an **Omega-Level Threat** by Batman, and Amanda Waller's intel classified him as Power Level 10+. During a meeting with Professor X, Superman openly stated that the Sentry's powers are godlike, and during his time as a member of Justice League Dark, Sentry's profile note that there is no limit to his powers and that he is nigh-omnipotent, thus making him the strongest member in the Justice League Dark team. Following his return latter on, the Sentry finally accept his dark self, the Void and merge with the entity, creating a being far more powerful than all his past incarnations, when considering all the impressive feat throughout the Sentry and the Void lifetime of struggle, the all-new merged Sentry can be said to be arguably the most powerful superhuman on Earth.

* **Mentifery**: The Sentry's main ability is the power to warp the fabric of reality with his imagination/thoughts alone. He can bend or alter reality, make any thought or desire come to fruition, even up to a cosmic scale. Robert can even change aspects of reality, allowing him to achieve nearly anything by simply conceiving it. He can even create entire pocket universes in the palm of his hand and once used his god-like powers to create a reality for himself and even being able to casually create an "omniverse" in a shoe box. Robert's powers possibly have been used subconsciously to cause some of what he imagined or believed to become real enough to affect and interact with the physical world. This allowed him to seamlessly transport himself and others, manipulate objects from vast distances, create drug-producing pig, and manifest multiple versions of himself. Mentifery is both the purest expression and mighty form of reality warping, allowing Robert to achieve any desired change directly, both rational and irrational, unhindered by the need for any template, material, or proxy to work.
* **Molecular Manipulation:** Robert possesses the ability to mentally control, transform, and manipulate the molecules of all matter and energy. Through concentration, he projects a psionic-manipulative energy, the precise nature of which is unknown, that alters the arrangement of molecules according to any visualized pattern. He can animate inanimate materials by causing constant mass movement of molecules: for example, he can make a brick building walk. He can rearrange molecules so radically, he can use his power to reconfigure all forms of matter and them into different substances and forms (such as, for example, turning air into glass), and can change matter into energy and back again. The Void's own shapeshifting might be a result of the Sentry's molecular manipulation. Additionally Reynold's molecular manipulation ability theoretically would give him potential regenerative healing abilities as well despite his nigh-invulnerability. It has been theorized that the vast majority of his powers are derived from his ability to alter matter and energy and that he could simulate almost any superpower with enough practice and control. He seems to do this unconsciously as the Void when he changes shape and power sets. He can create force fields and energy blasts, and also open up wormholes through hyperspace and traverse them, thus travelling faster than light. The maximum area he can affect at a single time is not yet known. In the past, however, he has enclosed the entire island of Manhattan in a plexiglass barrier, lifted a 150 billion ton mountain under his own power alone, converted a two-square mile parcel of land into an ornate palace, and affected the entire planet Earth. Once he effects a change in the arrangement of molecules in a quantity of matter, it remains in its new configuration until he consciously changes it back. Even if rendered unconscious, the transformed substances remain.
	+ **Materiokinetic Warping**: Robert can warp reality to certain degrees through rearrangement of matter. With this ability, the Sentry can achieve most any effect imaginable. He also has the power to redefine physical reality with naught but the power of mind. Described as being able to alter the very nature of Quantum Mechanics with his brain to affect & reverse entropy, peer beyond time & alter probability on a whim. The Sentry learned he could even craft and build various constructs or even sentient effigy's by rearranging molecules by force of will. Either conjuring a miniature werewolf in the palm of his hand, erecting a force field able to deflect Terrax the Tamer's energy waves with relative ease, and at his most uninhibited, create massive Sand Golems capable of downing a giant sized Wasp.

* **Psionic Abilities**: The Sentry possesses powerful psychic and mental powers mainly used for holding his physical form together. As a **Psionic of Highest Order**, Robert has been described one of the most powerful telepaths, telekinetics, and psions, vastly surpassing the abilities of all known telepaths, with the exception of Martian Manhunter. Therefore his abilities are almost unmatched.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Robert possesses immeasurably potent telekinetic powers. With it, he is able move, levitate, control, and manipulate people, and multiple inanimate objects with mere thought via his hands or eyes alone. He can use this to various effects. He is able to fly, create small bright green-colored telekinetic shields and barriers, unleash incredibly powerful blasts of bright green telekinetic force and, freely control and manipulate several objects from a huge distance. Since his abilities are mind-based, it means that if he's unable to concentrate or form a thought, he's unable to use his powers. This also means that most of his powers are controlled by his emotions and feelings and can often get out of hand if he gets angry enough, causing nearby objects to telekinetically combust (similar to the ability of **molecular combustion**) or random destructive telekinetic bursts to happen, even sending things flying depending on how passionate he's feeling.
		- **Bio-Blasts**: Ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts which he generates from his body's extrasensory potential. These were able to temporarily destroy the demon lord Trigon within its own realm.
	+ **Telepathy**: The Sentry has vast telepathic powers, which grant him numerous different abilities. He is able to detect, manipulate, and enter the minds, thoughts and memories of others, as well as transmit his own thoughts and memories as well as interact with, affect and even manipulate the minds of humans and animals with higher order intelligence (such as dolphins, ravens or dogs). His telepathic abilities are rather powerful, riviling that of Martian Manhunter, one of the most powerful telepaths in the universe. He also seemingly has a very potent telepathic resistance, that enables him to defend against psychic manipulators. His notable abilities include:
		- **Telepathic Illusion**: Ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
		- **Telepathic Cloak**: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
		- **Mind Link**: Ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
		- **Telepathic Camouflage**: Ability to mask himself, and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different (Changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more detailed disguising.).
		- **Mind Control**: Ability to control the minds of others just by trying.
		- **Mind Possession**: Ability to possess the mind of another, and use that being's body as his own.
		- **Mind Alteration**: Ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.
		- **Pathokinesis**: Sentry is capable of controlling and manipulating the emotions of those around him.
		- **Mental Amnesia**: Ability to cause loss of particular memories, and amnesia in another person or even in a group of people.
		- **Psionic Shield**: Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others' minds.
		- **Psionic Blasts**: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.
		- **Astral Projection**: Ability to Astral Travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the astral realm, he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects.
		- **Mental Detection**: Can sense the presence of other superhuman mutants within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
		- **Mind Transferral**: Able to transfer both his mind and powers into other host bodies should his own physical body be somehow killed.
* **Immortality:** The Sentry is chemically mixed with the super soldier serum. This makes him and the Void both immune to aging.
* **Superhuman Strength:** The Sentry's strength varies greatly and depends on his mental stability. The Sentry possesses vast superhuman strength, granting him the ability to lift (press) far in excess of 100 tons easily. He is one of the strongest beings in the Universe, rivaling Superman in terms of sheer strength. He has demonstrated several astonishing feats of strength during his career, including easily lifting tremendous weights, ripping Gorilla Grodd in two, taking Terrax the Tamer's cosmic axe and shattering it with his bare hands, moving a cruise liner effortlessly, and his unrestrained power overloaded the Absorbing Man. The Void was even able to break Superman's limbs with relative ease, and the Sentry himself was able to easily kill Ares by ripping him in half. He can also absorb solar radiation for additional strength. The Sentry has yet to demonstrate an upper-limit to his strength, but he has shown that it can rival the likes of the Hulk, although this depends on his mental state. The Sentry has also shown enough physical strength to be able beat the Void into submission more than once with pure force when he was relatively stable, which shows a high degree of power. During his most recent battle with the Void inside of the Sentry World, Sentry demonstrate devastating feat in shattering the entire moon to reveal the Void' whereabouts and then kill him easily by ripping him apart afterward. Following his fusion with the Void that granted him access to the combined might of both beings, Sentry has demonstrated an even greater degree of super strength, managing to easily overpower Scout, who had injected himself with the Golden Sentry Serum, to the point of effortlessly crushing his fist and breaking his neck. During an encounter with the Justice, with Wonder Woman, Shazam and Superboy in their ranks, the merged Sentry manhandle them and knock them all aside with ease. With his reality warping powers, the Sentry can generate limitless and unsurpassed physical strength, able to go toe-to-toe and even surpass the strongest of beings with nothing but the raw force of their physical blows. Any level of weight the user needs to lift or move is irrelevant as their body can emit limitless amount of force that can repel an object of any mass.
* **Superhuman Speed:** The Sentry possesses the ability to think, move, run, and react at superhuman speeds. He has been observed catching bullets and has also been seen moving far in excess of supersonic speeds; his speed on earth is enough to be gauged as fast enough to move at orbital velocity (5 miles a second). It should also be noted that the Sentry has numerously been depicted as able to fly to the sun in a matter of moments (where it takes light over 8 minutes). This shows that his speed during inter-stellar travels is several times in excess of the speed of light. He has recently shown the ability to travel an indistinguishable amount of light years in a very short of time in flight. Sentry's flight was described to be bending space and time through pure speed, and that the speed he was flying at was so fast that it was disorienting Thor. Sentry has even been able to occasionally match Thor's combat speed in battle.(Thor has routinely matched beings with extreme combat speed, such as Gladiator and Silver Surfer)
* **Nigh-Invulnerability:** The Sentry is, for all intents and purposes, almost completely impervious to harm, unless he wills himself to be killed he has shown no direct weakness. He has been seen surviving extremely harsh atmospheric conditions, including the vacuums of space. Nick Fury has stated that so far S.H.I.E.L.D. has yet to find a way to kill him, and even Iron Man's scanners found no physiological defects in the Sentry's body. Like all of his abilities, his durability depends on his mental state. He can go to completely no-selling Class 100-level characters but as soon as he wishes himself dead he could be killed in an instant, notably in Siege where he asked Thor to kill him. He has also been damaged when he requested to Hulk to punch him in during the Green Goliath's takeover of Manhattan to prevent himself from destroying everyone on the Earth.
	+ **Self-Sustenance:** Sentry has admitted to Lindy that he does not need to ever use the bathroom. He also does not appear to have the need to eat either, as shown when his wife was eating a meal with him and he only had a glass water in comparison.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Sentry's enhanced musculature is far more efficient than that of a human. As a result his muscles produce no fatigue toxins. However, his stamina, along with the rest of his powers, greatly varies depending on his mental and emotional state.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Sentry's natural balance, agility, and body coordination are enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** The Sentry can react at superhuman speeds exceeding the equivalent of several times the speed of Sound. As such, Sentry was able to catch a sniper bullet from a highly advanced Skrull gun. Sentry has in the past saved Cornelius Worth from a point blank gunshot wound to head from being inflicted on him by the Void. With him taunting Sentry, asking if he was "faster than a speeding bullet". Upon Sentry saving Dr. Cornelius he says to the Void that he himself knew he could catch the bullet because the Void knew how fast the Sentry was to the nearest millisecond.
* **Superhuman Senses:** The Sentry possesses vastly enhanced senses. He is able to hear almost any sound at any decibel, pitch, and frequency. The only Earth creature who can detect sounds at the frequencies he can is a blue whale (0.01-200,000 Hz). He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency (He has remarked that he was able to hear a butterfly's heartbeat in Africa). The range of his eyesight is also far greater than that of a human being. He is able to detect a single person from hundreds of miles in the air and above cloud level. The full extent of Robert's other senses superhuman capabilities is unknown.
* **Flight:** The Sentry possesses the ability to float by defying gravity, using his superhuman speed to fly far above hypersonic speeds (above Mach 10). He has demonstrated travelling to the Sun and back in a matter of moments which would require him to fly at speeds faster than light. And during the Skrulls secret invasion he flew to Saturn (about 746 million miles distance) almost immediately, which required him either to move at many times the speed of light (still thought to be impossible in this space-time) or to have bypassed space altogether thus giving the impression that he had moved faster than light-speed. He has also been stated to travel at many times the speed of light. One plausible explanation is that Sentry uses his absolute control of his molecular structure to mitigate and or prevent his body from obtaining additional mass as he moves/flies at speeds far greater that light-speed, although this has yet to have been proven or shown. And has also been remarked to fly at such speeds not even a god of Asgard could withstand. Sentry has also been able to fly with such force to behead and kill Attuma.
* **Teleportation:** On at least one occasion, Sentry has shown an ability to teleport in a blinding flash of golden light. Sentry teleported away, after meeting Nate Grey , he was also able to teleport from the Sun back to the Earth , and managed to get into an area which was protected by Reed Richard's force fields.
* **Photokinesis:** It may be theorized that the Sentry also has the superhuman ability to generate, control, and emit light. This ability to produce hard-light constructs may be similar to those of Dazzler when it was revealed that the Void is a just an expression of his repressed persona, and thus his creation, he has also used it to block an energy blast from Terrax.
	+ **Light Projection:** Having absolute control over the light he produces, he can control its direction, frequency (color), amplitude (intensity), and duration. The Sentry can produce numerous effects with the light he manipulates. He can simply cause a bright glow all about his body. He can create a pulse of light on the order of several tens of thousands lumens of power per second (the sun produces at most 10,000 lumens of brightness at noontime), which temporarily blinds people with its brilliance. This ability has been proven to be able to calm down the Hulk though it also reduces him to a childlike mentality who believes the Sentry and his wife to be his mother and father.
	+ **Invisibility:** Sentry can turn invisible by deflecting light and radiant emissions.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** The Sentry can generate light, heat, kinetic force, and other forms of energy as powerful blasts and explosions of a yellow color. These blasts are usually generated from the hands and eyes. But he was always like to use its in the form of optic blast. The maximum power of these blasts is unknown. It has shown previously to be capable of burning Hulk's skin and levelling whole city blocks in the past. He has also shown the ability to emit omnidirectional blasts that were able to eliminate a large group of Attuma's soldiers.  He also killed Nova during final Scourge event, blast a group of thunder guard for assaulting Asgard and destroy the Hulkbuster armor with his optical heat beam.
* **Darkness Manipulation:** After merging with the Void, Sentry gained the Void's darkness manipulation abilities. He could generate tentacles from his darkness that could restrain someone as well as knock them away.
* **Biokinesis:** The Sentry has an unknown or rarely used ability to affect biophysical effects to an unknown but seemingly limitless degree. Both his Sentry and Void persona's having used this aspect of their shared ability for various purposes. Robert once using his power to cure his therapist's daughter of a vegetative state and spinal problems seemingly just by being in the same room as her, while the Void bestowed an young unwed mother with an incurable breast cancer disease from states away.
	+ **Resurrection:** The Sentry appears to be able to resurrect himself and to bring the dead back to life under extreme emotional distress. After Ultron murdered his wife, Sentry was able to resurrect her by simply touching her. It does not appear he has control over this power, as he was shocked by his ability to do such an act. This may also extend to simply healing others' injuries.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** The Sentry can heal himself from virtually all injuries. He twice even came back from having his molecularity dispersed, during his fights with the Molecule Man and Morgan le Fay.

* **Precognitive Dreams:** Precognitive abilities, which manifest themselves in his dreams, enabling him to envision possible future events. Although there are countless possible futures, Robert foresees the most probable future path, and therefore his predictions usually come true. Robert seemingly cannot foresee events more than roughly a few days in the future. Robert's precognitive power developed to the point at which he could see images of future events when conscious.
* **Dream-Self Projection:** Ability to place himself in a trance-like state while remaining fully conscious. While he is in this trance, he can project an intangible, ghost like image of himself to another location, through which he can see and hear what goes on at the location. What the Sentry has called the “dreams” he has while in this state are not truly dreams, but his conscious awareness of the environment into which he has projected his “dream-self.”
* **Fundamental Forces Manipulation:** Sentry has displayed the ability to manipulate the four fundamental forces of the universe on a potentially a cosmic scale. This ability allows him to rearrange matter to create other configurations and can even transmute elements and manipulate space-time to a degree by using gravity to distort them.
* **Energy Constructs:** The ability to create anything he sees in his mind. Robert uses this ability to make anything he can imagine and manipulate it as he sees fit. Robert can channel this energy offensively to create weapons or blasts of energy or defensively to create force fields to protect those he loves.
* **Duplication:** After being irradiated by a meteor, Robert briefly showed the power to duplicate.
* **Gestalt Merge:** Robert was able to merge with other beings, such as his mother, into a double conscious being.
* **Power Sharing:** A couple of times the Sentry has utilized a unique ability to bestow portions of his own power onto others or using it to augment existing powers in those of his friends. Taking a young boy named Billy Turner and giving him similar abilities compared to his own and taking him on as a sidekick called Scout, or making a playmate for himself and the Hulk when similarly empowering a dog named Normie who took the name of Watchdog. Reynolds even gave Hulk some of his own quintessence as a means to protect him from his dark half, The Void.
* **Energy Absorption:** The Sentry has been stated to be capable of drawing energy from 'anywhere and everywhere' including the Microverse.
* **Teleportation:** Robert is able to teleport anywhere in the known Multiverse.

### Abilities

**Genius Intelligence:** Robert is very intelligent. He is capable of using his powers to detect all substances in a single object and thence determine how much of what substances make up an object. He is adept with mechanics, architecture, machinery, tracing energy sources, cybernetics, robotics and computer science. He used his great intelligence to construct his Watchtower as well as everything inside of it. Since he has never been very wealthy, it is likely he recovered all of the substances required for his Watchtower's construction from many different areas of the Earth or (perhaps) other planets as well. Once he collected the right amounts of the different substances he needed, he would then forge them into the materials and technology he needed. His other inventions include CLOC (with the help of Reed Richards) and the Watchtower.

### Weaknesses

Due to his condition, Robert suffers from many weaknesses:

* **Mental Illness:** The Sentry's mental instability has led to his immobility on several occasions. He suffers from one if not several mental illnesses real and fictional. The Agoraphobia makes Sentry fear releasing his full power as he stated if he lost control even for a millisecond, there would be dangerous consequences.
* **Psychic Assault:** The Sentry has a fragile psyche and is readily susceptible to mental manipulation. Although if he is relatively stable he can resist such manipulation, as he has in the past when Dr. Fate tried to convince him that the Sentry wasn't real and that it was an illusion, stating that "he was always too powerful for this type of magic"
* **The Antimatter Universe**: The Sentry is at his weakest in the Antimatter Universe. His powers and health gradually deteriorate the longer he is inside the zone itself and even worse, his counterpart/nemesis The Void's powers increase to maximum. However, in his new state while merged with the Void, Sentry was able to retain all his superpowers in the Negative Zone without weakening at all.
* **Lack of Control**: Sentry doesn't seem to have complete control over all of his abilities, as he didn't even know he was capable of Molecular Control until his battle with the Molecule Man and was genuinely shocked after reviving his wife from the dead.
* **Vulnerability to Ch**i: Spiritual energy based attacks, such as Chi, have been shown to be capable of injuring Sentry especially when inflicted by someone powerful.
