WTF? Sentinels are nothing. Rouge eats them for breakfast.
The DC heros would actually have fun. Superman would fly through the first 100,000, destroying them. Wonder Woman will lasso one, swing it around at mach 10, and use it like a turnstile to destroy countless others, saying "Hey, look what I can do!" It would be like a game: "Who can destroy the most?"
This is what Marvel Directory has to say about Nimrod's powers (sorry about the typo):
"Strength Level: The exact extent of Nimrod's strength is unknown, but it may be in the Class 100 range.
Known Superhuman Powers: Nimrod is the most highly advanced form of Sentinel robot possible for the technology of his native time period and reality to create. It is not known from what materials Nimrod was constructed, but his robotic form is highly resistant to damage even by superhuman beings. Nimrod can convert his outward appearance to resemble that of an ordinary human being. Nimrod can also reconstruct himself so as to make improvements in his robotic form and internal systems that will make him a more formidable opponent.
Even when smashed to pieces, Nimrod can reintegrate the portions of his body to become whole again. Apparently Nimrod's electronic consciousness can somehow exist independently of his physical body, at least temporarily. It has been speculated that Nimrod has complete control of his component parts down to the molecular level. If so, then Nimrod might have to be reduced to powder in order to be destroyed, and he might even be able to reconstitute his form from that state.
It has also been speculated that Nimrod has the potential to evolve somehow into a "techno-organic" form of life, similar to the Magus or Warlock, although presumably not having the Magus's extraordinary level of power.
Nimrod contains highly advanced computer systems as well as scanning devices that make it possible for him to determine whether a human being is a superhuman or not, and if he or she is, to determined the nature of his or her superhuman abilities. Like present-day Sentinels, Nimrod can draw upon devices and systems within his robotic body in order to cope with or neutralize an opponent's superhuman power once he has determined the nature of that power. If there is no pre-existing means within Nimrod of fighting against his opponents superhuman power, it is possible that, if he has sufficient knowledge, Nimrod can devise such a means within himself before his next battle with this opponent.
As yet not all of Nimrod's built-in weaponry has been observed. It is known, however, that Nimrod can project extraordinarily powerful concussive blasts of energy, as well as bolts of plasma and disintegrator beams. Nimrod can also project magnetic energy that enables him to levitate enormous quantities of iron and steel. Nimrod can create force fields about himself.
Nimrod can teleport himself but the limitations on this ability are unknown."
Remember that in Justice League Unlimited the JLA had trouble dealing with a nanorobotic perpetually re-creating army. Strikes me that 5,000,000 Nimrods would hurt.
Most of the mutants that they destroyed had one or two minor powers and would have no chance in hell in stopping a Sentinel. Fighting some little kid that does not know how to use their power yet and fighting the JLA would be totally different things. DC... no problem.
Yes, but how many were produced for that purpose? And
over how many years (I assume you are refering, atleast
in part, to the "Days of the Future Past" story)?
Ofcourse, in enough numbers, even an army of Pauley
Shores can kill plenty of mutants.
But in terms of cost-effectiveness, they are junk.
It's much easier to send in a sniper with a titanium bullet,
than a Sentinel.
Costs less property damage as well, which the government
(and/or whomever is making the Sentinels) has to pay for
as well.
