## Summary

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 **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 Dr. 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 Dr. 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.

**Range:** Standard melee range for human form. The Void can extend for hundreds of kilometres. At least multi-planetary range with energy attacks

**Standard Equipment:** CLOC sentient computer system that feeds him information from all over the world and prioritiSes what emergencies he should handle

**Intelligence:** Average (Mind is broken into many pieces. Has all the power and potentially intelligence, but 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. Built his Watchtower alongside Reed, which is a technologically advanced lair of The Sentry which has weapons that are capable for harming him. Created CLOC, who can monitor the entire world and predict what will happen next and helps Sentry save the world) | Extraordinary Genius (Equal to The Sentry.

**Weaknesses:** Limited hand-to-hand combat skills. Mentally unstable and relapsing drug addict. Lack of control | Same as before, plus becomes weaker if mental state wavers/loses confidence but the Void grows in power. 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 (not the Void). Depending on which personality is favoured by Robert Reynolds, that personality will gain more power. However, he loses these weaknesses in stable form | Mentally and emotionally unstable like other personalities. Depending on which personality is favoured 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 | Can be injured by spiritual energy based attacks, such as Chi, especially when inflicted by someone powerful

**Key: Robert Reynolds | The Sentry | Void | Merged Form**

**Note:**

* Robert can increase and decrease the power of either of his other selves when he wishes to. For example, 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.
