that goes to show you even in DEATH they cant get the damn Sentry right. Killing Ares did NOT weaken void at ALL. The ONLY thing that killed sentry was Bob... B O B.i swear how to writers get away with such HORRIBLE writing.
Basically, Sentry was killed by BAD WRITING.
The character started out with great potential but the writers obviously had no idea what to do with him and totally messed up the character so badly, they had to kill him.

In my Marvel Universe I would have Sentry as the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe. Only Celestials and above would be more powerful.
I would get rid of the Void aspect completely and make his sole weakness he mental instability.
Scarlet Witch would be a villain and the only character capable of beating her would be Sentry.
He would be Sentry of Earth and be its protector from all threats, called upon by characters such as Iron Man in times of crisis.
He powers would be
Superhuman strength (matched only by Hulk at max rage)
Superhuman durability (matched only by Juggernaut)
Superhuman speed (only Silver Surfer being faster)
Energy and Matter Manipulation on a par with Scarlet Witch.

I know Sentry has been the victim of some questionable writing choices so I wanted to get people's thoughts on a few things:
1)If the Void was defeated by Bob gaining control and letting Thor kill him; how come Bob wasn't able to commit suicide on his earlier attempt?
2) The gap between Sentry's high showings and low showings in really wide, do we average the character as somewhere in the middle or accept him as Molecule Man level?

No they couldn't have when you have been writing character that bad for that long they did the right thing.What you should be hoping for is that someone at Marvel has thought about what they want to do with Sentry how they want him to be portrayed and the right time to bring him back when they do decide to reintroduce him.Maybe this time away from the character will give them some prospective.

At a memorial service for Bob Reynolds, CLOC pointedly remarked he would rebuild the Watchtower (which had simply vanished at the moment of Bob's apparent death) at an undisclosed location in preparation for the return of the Sentry, and that no one would be allowed to approach it. CLOC then gives Mr. Fantastic the Sentry's diary and instructs him to read the final sentence of page nineteen, the contents of which Reynolds knew that only Richards would understand. When asked about it, Mr. Fantastic keeps the information to himself.
i guess with that he will return sometime.
Some evidence point out, that the Sentry/void is nothing more than the manufacturing of Franklin Richards reality warpings.
His name was Tattletale. Or rather, a more adult version of Tattletale: "The Sentry." A sentry is a soldier who patrols and reports back. In other words, this is Tattletale, Franklins persona from his Power Pack days, his only successful superhero role.
He was described as a life force from "another universe" that wanted to be an adult male hero on this world. (see "The Age of the Sentry" mini-series)
He had almost unlimited power that appeared random - whatever he wanted to do, he could do it.
He was desperate to prove himself.
He was able to ret-con his existence into other's minds.
He was psychologically messed up.
He had split personalities - avatars that existed at the same time
His dark side was the void, that gain its power from the Negative Zone
He ultimately failed and the only way to shut down his uncontainable power was to shut his mind down. Supposedly killed, but the event was not enough to kill him.
He acted in an immature way - fans hated this character, because none of his actions made any sense - but they made sense when seen as the actions of a child who refused to grow up.
He wore a costume with the colors of the Fantastic four (blue, plus orange/yellow for the Thing and Torch) and retconned himself to be Reed Richards' best friend. And of course he kept his signature golden hair. (He made them not recognize him because he wanted to prove himself - all his previous adult attempts had failed when they recognized him and hated him or wanted him young again.)
Sentry asked his robot to give his diary to Reed Richards, and for Reed to read a single entry. Reed saw this entry and then became very upset but did not say what the entry entailed. Did the diary reveal Bob Reynolds' real identity?
