3) The Sentry (3 of 5)
It’s hard to be inspired by a hero you’re not supposed to remember.
Yeah, that’s Sentry (aka Robert Reynold), whose presence was supposed to be a lost memory for everyone — comic characters and real-life humans alike. It’s Marvel creators were actually thinking of fabricating a whole comic series for all the years since its “supposed” origins in the 50s.
Although he is known to have the “power of one million exploding suns,” he has never really showed any initiative. The guy’s origins are rather confusing too. Some claim he’s a Captain America style serum-induced experiment, or a weapon-X experiment, and even a sentient being from another dimension.
The reason is extremely lame.
We find out that Mastermind, under the influence of General (Sentry’s enemy) has implanted a psychic “virus” in Reynolds’ mind that is making him believe that his greatest enemy, the Void is coming back and that his wife is dead.
As a result, our superhero cannot remember his life, and — this is the awesome part — as a cry for help our comic hero subconsciously implants his real memories in the comic’s creator Paul Jenkins. What we are reading is actually a possessed Jenkins writing about Sentry.
So, even when the guy has saved the planet a hundred times over, we’ll never know: because the hero is delusional; because he has managed to confuse the creators of the comics with his memories; and because we’re not supposed to remember he exists.
It is Uncle Ben…pretty lame not to know that, LOL
I have to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this site.
I’m hoping to view the same high-grade content by you in the
future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own site now ;
