I wonder if Sentry could absorb the solar power from Supes? That seems to be a popular method used by debaters to beat Supes. But I don't recall it ever being done during combat.

I don't mean to invole an outside character, but why do the majority of members on this forum give Thor a slight advantage over Superman when there is a thread concerning those two. I know Thor possesses Mjolinir and is adept in magics, which are Superman's weakness, yet even with Superman's tremendous speed advantage, he still loses to Thor. With Supes speed, he should easily be able to reach Thor before he casts a spell and snap his neck. In every other category they're even, with Thor possesing more battle experience/Fighting skill while Supes probably has higher strength. Anyway what I'm saying is that Sentry is definetly faster than Thor, most likely as strong as Superman (he beat Void, who easily broke Hulk's bones) and he's stalemated Genis and The Collective. Genis is a being who killed Entrophy (I believe), thats got to amount to something. I belive it'll be a draw
That Genis feat is a bit iffy as Genis power Yoyos up and down.

See, Strange is powerful, but you're giving him too much credit already, lol. In his newest series, not only he did he get almost killed by a handgun, but he got his powers shut off by an apprentice magician.Superman can and has overcome threats easily as high as Dr Strange. Whether one believes he should take the majority or not is up to each individual person's opinion... hell, everything on this forum is. However Superman has outdone high end magicians and cosmic-type gods alike. That's why I say it's not a far leap beyond him to believe he could go a round or two with him like Sentry did apperently did, as mentioned earlier.
And while it doesn't really mean shit here, lets not forget that Wizard also believes Supes would just speedblitz him. 😉
But what you brought up - I addressed. The current, humanized, depowered, ninja-fighting Strange may not be able to get a majority on Superman.
But classic strange? Who regularly treated time like a play thing and collapsed dimensions? He'd curbstomp Superman.

No point - it's universally regarded (save by the DC haters) that Superman > Sentry.
I'd second that, most people think Superman could be anyone...but the reason forums like this is to look at different scenarios.
And there are always lesser cases in which Sentry could pull off wins against Supes.
I wouldn't necessarily call them a haters though unless they thought Sentry could win the majority of cases vs Superman.

Well, in the comics, Superman will always win. Against anyone.
But, even looking at it from an objective forum standpoint - Sentry simply doesn't have the required feats to back up his hype yet.
He's getting there, he's becoming more impressive. But until we see him let loose? We can't say for certain that he's even COMPARABLE to Superman, considering Kal-El's greater feats.
Maybe Sentry will bitchslap the Hulk during World War Hulk. That'd be quite entertaining. 🙂.
But until we see some more impressive showings from the Sentry, he is, and will remain less powerful than Superman.
I am going to agree with the majority here, based upon feats Sentry loses. He supposedly has more power, but he barely did squat in the battle during Civil War (was seen in one frame battling Hercules and that's it).
His overloading Absorbing Man was a good feat, and so was breaking Terrax's axe, but he has a ways to go yet before he would achieve equal footing with Superman IMHO.

If you were tasked with writing a comic about Sentry and your only instructions were to make him live up to his "power of a million exploding suns" description...and that involved fighting Superman. How would you write it?

Sentry: "I have the power of a million exploding suns."
Supes: "Solar radiation makes me more powerful."
Sentry: "Shit."
Supes: "Yeah. I'll give a three second head start and then I kill you."
