Serious question.

Well Sentry is suppose to have the power of a million suns, Void doesn't have the power of any sun he gets his powers from darkness I believe. So its no 50% since he doesn't loose anything from getting rid of void. If that was the case when he threw him in the sun he would have been at 50% this entire time right? The void is just a part of Sentrys mind really with opposite powers. Although to tell you the truth Sentry doesn't have the power of million suns, its a false thing he runs around saying. If such power were true, than when he "Cut loose" on Hulk he should have ended this entire universe instead of barely decimating and entire city which even a baby sun would have had no trouble doing. I'm not bashing Sentry, but he has never once displayed the power of million suns sorry. Hasn't even displayed of one sun, he displayed some power but not that of any sun.

Looks more like they all get pwned lol, Sentry was just the first. Well he was the first due to his "overrated" power set. For some odd reason he could taken down Ymir with one blow but Thor couldn't last a few hours with the Odinforce? Back in the day he didn't even use the force he could just hurl the hammer, but hey. About time they make Sentry a regular character and actually not beat some one in one panel. Chances are the void will disappear and Sentry will be back to normal once they get creel back to normal. No big deal really.

Yeah, no reason to get overly worried. Just demonstrates that Sentry is inconsistently written.

what is inconsistent when u get hurt by someone who has just absorbe a fricking cosmic cube?

after all we do not know that was after the MM incident

Exactly ... The million exploding suns is a metaphor ... I.e. he has the potential (if he was fully in contro)l to do damage on par with a million exploding suns. He's just an Uber-telekinetic force, whose powers are parallel to Miracle man and Brynes Superman, or even Gladiator, but VASTLY superior.
He seems like regular Superman, i.e. he seems he siphons off vast amounts of energy allowing his body to do things beyond a mere mortal, in reality he's using the powers of his mind to perform all his feats.
Im not sure if Solar energy is even involved ... although the original Jenkins story referred to a photosynthetic reaction having some effect upon his body. I presume he absorbs direct sunlight, which then unlocks his latent telekinetic abilities, similar to Brynes Superman back in the 1980's. I presume the vast energy releases, are not from an internal power source, but him telekinetically agitating the electrons of his body !

Sentry is giving me a real Magician feeling, from Ultimate X-men. Like CD just said, he doesn't necessarily have super-strength or matter manipulation, it's all him subconsciously warping reality. Seems like the best way to explain how big a factor his confidence is without going the Gladiator route.

The nature of his meta power explains a lot of the inconsistency, i.e. its psychologically linked. He's not juts a really strong guy, who just has decide to hit people as hard as possible to release his power. He has to literally accelerate all the molecules in his body to create the forces in question, While simultaneously using the same telekinetic powers to hold them together, so he doesn't burst on impact.
If all this concentration is required for him to punch someone really hard, imagine how much is needed to reality warp, or energy release, or reconstruct his body from death ? Don't forget he's been doing this all subconsciously up until now, hence his lack off experience. So yes I agree, no wonder he's been so inconsistent and why he's had problems with the likes of Cosmic Cube Wrecker etc.

No i disagree ... I think he is a matter manipulating, but his matter manipulator powers are potentially vastly superior to any other being on the planet below Odin and the Phoenix and the molecule man (When he's not being an over confident ***). This is justified by his claim "I control all the molecules from where I come from"
I think this make reference to the dimension of time he uses to jump forward 2 seconds in time. I presume that when you enter this dimension, meta physics changes dramatically, and reality becomes closely linked to consciousness. This Dimension obviously has some meta physical precedence over our own, hence him being able to beat Molecule man. Hopefully this will alll be explained by Bendis ?

my theory has always been the the "SENTRY" is an amnesiac COSMIC CUBE. it fits in to his inconsistanc as well as mental state creating powers.{possibly cosmoc/beyonder since he was lost when the annihlation wave hit the prison and hasnt been seen since then}. it also makes sense that his biases and bizarre thinking would create OLD LOST COMIC BOOKS and supposedly a past that never existed while simultaneously people are starting to remember having him around.

i means its just a theory but i think SENTRY=COSMIC CUBE.

Great thought, and it would explain just about everything, but it doesn't sound simple enough to make it to the comics.

Ah, but your theory is a bit more supported by the comics/the recent incident. I was more or less making up what I thought would be the most satisfactory, for me. Your idea is interesting nonetheless, but it actually seems like something that would go over the head of most guys at marvel. No offense to Bendis, or you for that matter, but it's an explanation that might be a bit too much for a lot of readers to swallow. Much of what Bendis writes has a good widespread appeal despite being enjoyable to the more weathered comic savant.

True !!! 🙂

i understand where the cosmic cube theory comes from but why hasnt MM experienced molecules like his before? MM said he has tasted every molecule in the universe. For some reason i think he is going to end up being something completely new to the Marvel Universe.

Except Molecule Man is suppose to be a variation of a Cube Being, so Sentry being able to beat Owen, then get handled by Creel who absorbed an incomplete cube is inconsistent.

Guys, go see the previews for DA#13...seems Sentry has connections with the Biblical Moses!

except he said he is not adept at using his powers.
anyway...let's see how the fight goes...and once again we do not know if this incident was after the MM fight

Now where the hell bendis is going? Sentry is

Spoiler:
Galactus

no i think it was just the void being an ass because he was so amused by all her theories on how sentry became the void...and a way to tell her he is no joke when it comes to power

So we are yet to came to know his source of power.

pretty much...there is some stuff that is never really explained in the issue
