![]() ![]() The contrasting of extremely light to extremely dark storytelling is a very unique way to tell his origin, and having him believe he’d been a hero, only to be shown he was the villain the entire time, maybe even using this to develop him into an actual hero, would be very interesting.Įver since the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer name-dropped the multiverse, as well as Avengers: Endgame making reference to it, there’s been a lot of speculation about what would come of the concept. This has been explored before in the comics, Sentry’s origin is shown to be a fun, 60’s-Lee story about a kid finding a serum at first, but in reality, it was a drug-addicted teenager breaking into a lab to try to find something he could use to get high, accidentally getting powers in the process. That leads me to the direction that could be taken: the Void leads the Sentry to believe that he’d been a hero in the past, when in reality he wasn’t, or, what could be cooler, he was actually a villain. Bob occasionally loses control, allowing the Void to take over, but the Void also finds ways of messing with him when he isn’t in control, which includes hallucinations. ![]() The Void is the name used for the dark personality of the Sentry (or Bob Reynolds, his civilian name). So, that being said, what are some other routes that could be taken here? 1. ![]() This isn’t to say that retcons aren’t possible, they just aren’t possible on the scale that this route would require, considering that Sentry was essentially a Superman-level hero, especially when it came to publicity. However, if we were suddenly told that Sentry had been there during the Battle of New York, one of only four of the Avengers battles we got to see (Maybe 5, if you count Civil War), and everyone just… forgot, it’d be essentially taking a sledgehammer to the existing continuity. With the comic universe, it’s existed for 80 years now, so a character being active for about 10 of those? It’s not much of an issue. What’s the issue with this? Simple, it’s simply too heavy of a shift for the MCU to take. The interesting thing about him was that he was revealed to have been active in the comic universe since the 1940s, until a device built by Mr Fantastic and Doctor Strange wiped everyone’s minds of it, including that of the Sentry himself, due to them figuring out it was the only way to stop a villain named The Void (who turned out to be a personality of The Sentry). He first appeared in Sentry #1, in 2000, and would later be reintroduced in New Avengers, as a member of that team. Sentry’s introduction into the Marvel universe was a unique one. Many general audience members are likely not familiar with the character of The Sentry, however, he has a very rich history in Marvel Comics lore which you can learn more about below. It is currently unknown how Marvel Studios plans to introduce the character. We have recently heard that Marvel has begun considering plans to introduce The Sentry in the near future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. ![]()
