He made a werewolf in his hand! Within seconds of finding out what he could do.

Which is great and all, but seeing as how Sentry has never used his "matter manipulation" in a combat scenario to warrant him just materializing wood or even a specific material/substance to capatilize on someone's weakness or anything close to it, why should we assume that he can or would do it at all? Maybe if CIS was off, and maybe if he had more showings of directly transmutating something into another state, but as it stands, Sentry will probably fly around and try to hit Alan, not attack him with wood, which he shouldn't even know is a factor against him.

I dont get this, if he can create a werewolf in his hand why cant he create a a piece of dead wood which is much simpler? Would the stress of the battlefield get to him? Why assume he cant do it in battle?
When has he done anything remotely similar in a battlefield scenario when he instead just likes to punch and speedblitz? Just because he has something in his power doesn't mean he will do it. And the point is moot anyway because he wouldn't know about the wood weakness in the first place.

So he can, but won't because of CIS or CIP? That is a solid argument, but claiming he cant do it is just senseless. He ould not know about it either, I was just adressing the point as it as put forward.
Regarding the voidtry's use of power, in DA 14 he certainly does his thing outside the box and stops emulating SM while wreaking havok. Its obvious he has nothing to do with SM's powerset and thrwoing punches arround anymore

Oh, I have.
I'd like to think I'm a pretty fair Thor supporter, but generally speaking, he'll probably just bash someone with Mjolnir or use his weather manipulation in a fight over the Anti-Force, Godblast, life drain, BFR, etc. The key is to when such a tactic is likely and when it's not. Like the rules said, characters fight in character. And assuming Sentry's control of matter in general is far greater than Molecule Man (which is iffy considering the state Molecule Man was in), he hasn't shown that he does use his powers in the various methods some posters claim he does.
I agree on the "knowing" front. Sentry doesn't know that wood is his weakness even though past feats have shown that he has incredible telepathic ability! With time maybe. He is still young.
I threw the wood thing in because everybody assumed Sentry didn't stand a chance.
Full prep = Sentry wins.
No prep = Stalemate. Sentry won't go down to a super GL. And Stalemate due to respect for Sentinel only.
