Not sure about that, but the Back Racer's a Surfer knock off...

Any team that Sentry is on, loses.

something tells me Sentry is being underrated here.

How do you rate Sentry on the same level as Supes, or any of his more respected clones? Whats he done aside from killing Carnage and jumping Dr. Doom? The guy is a consistant coward with HIGHLY questionable H2H skills. He had a decent showing against the Hulk, which he still lost despite having a powerset that should have allowed a stomp.

well, for starters he has near light speeds, incredible strength, and durability.

he ripped the armor on Dr. Doom, that says a lot.

he stopped Terrax in mid swing with one hand and broke his "unbreakable" axe with ease.

and yes, he should've stomped the Hulk because of his speed but, that was Hulks' book and it would be a boring read if every character with super speed and strength (i.o.w. Superman and rip-offs) fought by speed blitzing.

So basically he has the same powers as everyone else here, except he doesnt use them as efficiently. Terrax was jobbed to establish Sentry as a big player, so I hardly count that. As for ripping off Doom's armor, he teleported in and took Doom completely unaware which isnt that impressive. Teleport Thing or Namor in behind a unaware, shieldless Doom and you'd have the same result.

how is Sentry owning Terrax not notable?

and the fact that he ripped it apart is what's impressive.

Its not notable because Terrax was fed to Sentry's hype machine. They fed Omega Red to Chamber, fed Sabretooth to BlackCat, etc etc. Hell Punisher has a win over the Hulk. The guy fights a amped Morg but gets humiliated by Marvel's pet project.

well, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. imo, Sentry is capable of beating Terrax, maybe not quite to the degree and fashion in which he did but, i digress.

he's building up. give him some time.

There are many flaws that can make a character more interesting and likable. Cowardice isnt one of them. Case of a sheep's mind in a lion's body. Everyone else in this thread has established themselves as a legit threat. Sentry hasnt done jack and has more negative showings working against him than positive ones.

Team 2.. Supreme is a beast..
