Dudes been around for like half a century though, hard for nearly ANYONE to have better feats than him with the length of time hes been in print. I reckon if you took the number of appearances sentry has and took the first (same amount) of appearances superman had Sentry would come out tops. But it doesnt matter really, Sentry's still my boy 🙂 and Superman is still the boy scout that inspired him.

Ummm yeah the only reason been that back then superheros where a lot weaker and superman was the first superhero per say. He didn't have anyone to compare or compete with like sentry does e.g Thor, Gladiator and so on and so fourth.

Did you forget that the clear majority of Superman's appearances have been retconned? 😕

'Bout 20 years worth. Not that much when we look at people like Hulk or Thor, who's 40+ year history is still fair game.
Well thats over three times the amount of feats (obviously more because Sentry's are few and far between), if Marvel decide to seriously flesh the character out and put a good writer on it (prefferably just Jenkins again) then I reckon he'd be able to hang with supes, Especially since already with the few feats he has the polls are swinging pretty convingly in his favour (other thread.)
Not arguing that Supes doesnt take him now though
Originally posted by V for ValentineActually the current version of Superman has only been around for 20 years. We cannot use his Pre-Crisis feats.

Originally posted by batdude123I don't consider it so. Marvel may not have had a crisis, but there was a time when their characters certainly got depowered and it was mostly around the same period as DC's. Thor and Hulk aren't even specs compared to their old selves, even Odin was a lot weaker than his 1960-80 self.

Indeed indeed...

No, the same could NOT be said. At ALL.Marvel zombies, on average, DON'T like uber characters. They like street level and high tier.
D.C fans LOVE uber characters, they take pride in it and they base their love of DC on the fact DC has many ubers.
We all know D.C fans hate it when Superman loses, they hate it. They can't handle it. So, what happened was:
Fans caught wind of Sentry, they realized he was more powerful than Superman. They freaked and emailed DC about it. So, to appease the fanboys, DC made this guy with the power of a million suns lose to Superman, just so Superfans could take solace in the defeat.
Superman HAS to be the strongest, fastest, smartest and the best at everything, otherwise....superman jihad.
