Sodam Yat Ion was basically a slightly weaker version of a Kryptonian, with a GL ring AND ION POWER. SBP had also just started getting his powers back, and had just fought 20+ characters, most of whom where more powerful than the majority of this team. He also seemed to be toying with him most of the time. For instance, when he fought the GLs, he just let loose and started eye beaming them to death.Most of this team, (minus Hulk of course) have had trouble taking on a weaker version of the Hulk than WWH ALL AT ONCE. The Avengers have struggled with far weaker opponents than Prime. And I think they'd either struggle with, or even be beaten by SYI.
And when Sentry is on a team, he tends to just become absolutely useless (I'm not thinking Siege, but in Civil War, Hercules arc, and some others).
For all of his supposed power, he gets beaten, drained of all his power, and marginalized a LOT.
And Sentry is probably the only one who has the speed to even keep up with Prime if he goes fast, and I doubt even he could. As far as I know his best speed feat was taking care of some problem in Libya in a very short amount of time. Which is nothing compared to Prime's speed, given that he out punched multiple flashes.
But, giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can hang with Prime in speed, those two could have a one-on-one fight before the rest of the team even knows what happened. And I don't think ANYONE thinks that one on one Sentry will last long against Prime.
Prime has some low showings, but so does everyone on the team, and for the most part, they have much lower ones than him. But none of them have higher showings that his best ones.
I don't have the patience to deconstruct it. But it boils down to this: you take Prime at his best (or some imaginary version you conjured u) and you take the team at its worst (again, some imaginary versions).
