"The Sentry's abilities derive from an experimental serum that creates a phase-shift in his molecules, causing each atom to step an instant ahead of the current time line. The serum induces a photosynthetic reaction, resulting in a hyper state of consciousness. The Sentry's powers are derived from a serum which causes his molecules to step an instant ahead of the current time line. Though most of his powers and their limits are still unknown, examples he has demonstrated so far are super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, and flight. He can also project energy fields, control light, and has vast psychic and mental forces mainly used for holding his physical powers together, though it is not yet known whether the Sentry can use them the way Professor X and other psychics use theirs; the only psychic abilities he had displayed so far is implanting his memories inside Paul Jenkins' mind and calming the fury of the Hulk. It may be theorized that the Sentry also has the ability to produce hard-light constructs similar to those of Dazzler's when it was revealed that the Void is a just an expression of his repressed persona, and thus his creation. With the people dubbing The Sentry as the world's most powerful superhero, and with the serum causing a photosynthetic reaction to his body, completely altering his state of consciousness, it is nonetheless conceivable that Sentry's powers are limitless, and may even rival those of the Silver Surfer's and Phoenix's. He has very similar powers to Gladiator and Hyperion. In effect, the Sentry's powers are seemingly limitless."

The statement is open natured. It does not say or mean that Sentry is nearly as powerful as the Phoenix nor does it define what incarnation/status of the Phoenix being referenced therefore it is irrelevant as evidence for Sentrys comparative power level.
Jean as Phoenix primarily operated at herald level for day to day operations, only powering up when a situation called for it. In fact Chris Claremont as he stated created Phoenix to be “a female analogue to Thor, Firelord, and the Silver Surfer,”
He also stated that had she not died first time around she would have been kept at the Thor/Surfer power level only drawing on more power when necessary. Please note that your statement also references Silver Surfer, therefore putting him on the same level as Phoenix.
Why is that?
Because it is referencing a Phoenix at standard operating level. The level she kept herself at for day to day application as a member of the X-men, the level she was written at so as to prevent her presence from making the stories boring.
In light of that the statement is placing Sentry on par with the heralds.
Dont worry about it guys. I wouldnt have expected you to have known this.
For further details PM me and i'll send u the link to the article.
Watch your mouth sonny.

The articles placing him around herald level. Given his performance against Terrax id say hes slight above Surfer. He'd give Thanos a really good fight.
What about Thor though? Thor and Beta Ray are about the same level. You think they'll clash during Civil War? I know Bill would be against the act, if Millar hasn't forgotten that he's in the U.S.

In grouping Surfer and Pheonix into the same general category in the opening post, that person shows they don't know much about the pheonix (the person writing it, not BlaqChaos). Mere speculation....which is really all we have of Sentry anyway.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
i thought this guy was rumored to be at galactus level or something? ss level?? that's not bad -- top tier hero level -- but no where remotely close to galactus.
and i think gs summed that article up pretty well -- if they mentioned ss and phoenix as relative equals, they clearly aren't talking about the pf in one of its more powerful incarnations.
Hey, that's how Marvel ALWAYS does these bios. Like they're intentionally being vague about the characters power levels. You should read the updated one on Spider-man since his rebirth.
