Marvel screwed Sentry up. Too many personality glitches, retconning his origins, erratic personal life, power set all over the place, etc. Sometimes heroes need to just that, and not someone we can relate to. If they ever bring Sentry back, Marvel needs to do things better. Right now I'd much rather see the Blue Marvel get developed.
they make sentry the greatest hero ever in his begining series...only to have him become a ***** later on....not the best way to work the character
i dont mind the void being there once and a while...but that really isnt the case with sentry...void never goes away and kinda make the sentry character suck
they should have just keep him like he was in the first series and how he was in age of the sentry seroes...make him overcome great treats the way people like supes and thor do with will and determination...dont just give the guy powers to rape everybody who crosses his path
i kno making him more like supes makes him a ripoff character but it worked much better then what they have been doing...and they have plenty of room to make the character unique and less superman like with the void aspect and personality\
but who the hell knows what they r gonna do...one can only guess
Apparently I'm in the minority, but I thought Sentry was written pretty well up until Dark Reign/Siege. Not just because he was transformed into a cosmic crab (a level of ridiculousness I shouldn't have to extrapolate on), but also because even his good persona was portrayed with the demeanor of a naive teenager most of the time.
But when I think back to some of his earlier appearances (his self-titled series' and New Avengers mainly), imo the guy had a refreshing depth to his character. We knew he had an incredible amount of power, we knew he wanted to be a hero, but we also knew he was a mental/emotional train wreck that could literally snap at any second.
