I think Sentry should go back to the earlier phase where he had the long unkept beard, was even less stable, and still thought he had killed his wife.
His powers shouldn't be clearly defined, but it should be obvious that they are WAY up there. That way everyone is always uneasy around him. Any low showings could be explained as Bob not having a good grasp on the power; but if he ever fully lets loose- LOOK OUT.
So Eel' O'Brien, do you like the setup I'd written or you thought it was corny? But concerning Sentry's beard, in my interpretation, he leaves the Earth for some months and returns when he is telepathically contacted by the Void. But anyway when he does return, his beard is flowing and is unkept and his hair has grown extradordinary lengths (before he leaves he be clean shaved and have low cut hair) to resemble the Sentry we all know today.
For Sentry's power, I think the chemical compound he ingests should be a newly, accidental concoction. Like a high powered newly created element has fused with his blood creating the Sentry. Hmm thats a way I guess. I just don't Robert to be powered by what Superman is or anyone else like Hyperion or Supreme
I like that Sentry has mental problems, makes him more interesting. Puts a human flaw on such a powerful character. If he didn't have something keeping his powers in check he'd own most of Earth's villain's with no problems and his comic appearances would be shit to read.
And never mind Bendis, Pak treated Sentry worse.

Instead you want him to be like Supreme 🙄
A new plot detail that I wanted to add was that Robert's father (who've I've named Orin since he doesn't canonically have a name) was actually removed from the SSS reproduction program when other scientists (Hank Pym, Bruce Banner and Reed Richards) felt that he was growing unstable and became obsesive towards the project. Released and in poor standings with the council, Orin uses Robert as a guinea pig for his studies in an attempt to regain his position as head scientist of the project by displaying the advances he made. *Robert has no memory of this or it's a blur at best as these injections are done when Robert is suffering from the side effects of his drug usage* Using a synthesis of Robert's blood and the once thought hypothetical tachyon, Orin creates a formula that excessively exceeds the SSS. It's here that Robert wanders into the cellar and in a fiendish state ingests everything in sight, combining not only the serum but other compunds in his blood as well. After he loses consciousness, his father finds his holy grail, lingering in Robert's blood and this is where the events that ultimately make the Sentry/Void transpire.

Gotta agree with you there. When Sentry first appeared in New Avengers, and most people had no idea who he was, it was definitely alot more interesting.
That and the idea of a hero accidentally killing someone they love sounds pretty interesting.
Oh yah, and the beard. Every man looks better with a beard.
Cool, I'll add that in2 my story too. When Void is apparently defeated and Billy (Scout) dies Robert goes into a self imposed exile onto Ryker's Island, believing that since the Void is a part of his being, it was he himself who killed Scout. This for him is a form of penance, living amongst the criminals he's imprisoned. He leaves the world to fend for itself for years that is until Galactus attempts to consume Earth and in the chaos the Ryker's criminals escape. Sentry grasps Carnage who is about to kill numerous officers. He flies the psychopath into space a rips him in two. He descends to Earth repelling the assault of Galactus' Heralds and eventually challenges the world devourer. The battle ends in a stalemate, with Galactus departing to find an easier meal. On Earth are Shield forces with barrels raised on him until Captain America and Ironman reveals the unknown hero to the younger heros and Shield. Sentry is uneasy about this however knowing that Ironman previously tried to abuse his powers and Shield attempted to kill him in order to gain his blood and the serum that laid within it.

In my version of the story, on page 1, Robert when he developes his powers from his father's experimental serum (which he used on Robert as a guinea pig) unintentionally vaporizes his father with heat vision in an attempt to stop him from killing his mother, (it's complicated but in my story it's explained that Robert's father is a drunken physicist/chemist/genticist who abuses his wife and child after being expunged from the SuperSoldierSerum Recreation project for becoming overly aggressive/unstable and obsessive with his work)

No, I didn't think it was necessarily corny; I just don't want his story to end. Your death for him is very heroic and all, but there are plenty of people who fit that mold. Sentry should always be out there and always be too crazy to realize his full potential.
I don't want him to be the ultimate champion that everyone calls on to save the day. He should only be brought into action if the threat is greater than the damage Sentry himself may end up doing if he snaps...
