You may debate with other Sentry fans that pull their hair out and become angered at reading such words but I don't care.All I was saying is that Miracleman and Sentry's origins were closer. I don't have a problem with Sentry being based on Superman. I just don't think he is.
I just don't see why you are lumping me in with a group of Sentry fans who feel "inferior" because of the possibility of that being true.

Sentry is based on Miracleman, he's nothing to do with Superman in any way shape or form.It was the year 2000 exactly that he was released. September to be exact.
Sentry might not be a literal duplicate like Majestic but to claim he has no relation to Superman? SMH.

"He's nothing to do with superman in any shape or form. " I like you scot but that really came off as denial of truth.Sentry might not be a literal duplicate like Majestic but to claim he has no relation to Superman? SMH.
I was talking specifically about his origin. For example was Superman an overweight human who had nightmares and then suddenly gains his powers back then realises that he has an exact opposite of himself (a so called Anti-Superman). He doesn't and that is all I was saying. I wasn't talking about anything else Abhi. Purely his origin in Sentry Vol 1 #1.
Apologies if my reply to Sin I AM confused you. I didn't mean to do so or anything.
I kind of messed up with my writing. I struggle with it sometimes because of what I mentioned to you before in a PM.

I think Thor USED to work well. I think now they dont know how to correctly portray him. Id honestly wish he'd stay in Asgard for awhile. Explore the other realms not named midgard and get back to his roots
Actually, he had some business with malekith or whatever before the hammer was passed onto the new Thor.
It was pretty mediocre, but at least he was back where he belonged.

Which is fine. I really liked journey in mystery and kid loki. The one armed thing seems a bit meh and losing mjolnir has annoyed me etc.
Just me sprouting off shit but i dont think there needs to be more than a two heralds running around marvel earth. Its a bit overkill to have so many high end people.
I agree with pretty much everything Sin said about Sentry.
Retroactively everyone played second fiddle to him. And the whole greatest hero ever shit seems like a kid trying to create the bestest superhero ever. Sentry's entire origin actually.
"Yeah well my hero did everything like containing the Cosmic Cube and being Reed Richards best friend and he ate year old burgers and he enjoyed ghost chiles on occasion. He also stalemated Galactus and taught a flying mutant not to be scared. Also he had sex with Rogue before Magneto because... well... uhdunno, but it totally doesn't take away the impact of why Rogue did Mags. Also every single hero thinks he's cooler than themselves.
Oh you thought I was finished? No no no. He also has the power of 100... no wait, 1000, uh that's pretty high right? Yeah he has the power of 1000 suns.
Changed my mind, he has the power of 1 million suns. Also he can't die. Plus plus plus he is really fast. But he's not just fast, he's also really strong, stronger than Hulk. But even if he wasn't stronger than Hulk he can simply take away all his anger and strength. He can beat all the heroes at once too.
He also erased the entire planet's mind like Xavier and Dr Strange.
Now match that Jimmy! You dirty poor no mom having dumbass!"

Sure, but his origin is rooted in what Jenkins done for him.Bendis could wish for Sentry to be Marvel's Darkseid. He could give his a costume similar to current Sentry. He could change subtle things about him but unless it is completely retconned and Bendis says Sentry was a being that was sent in a shuttle from the planet Temporalon then I don't consider what Bendis wanted for Sentry to be true. I know what you're saying -Pr- of course about Bendis but as we know from Miracleman and Sentry's origin they both start pretty much exactly the same. They both wake up after a nightmare. They're both overweight in their human forms (with almost the exact same look). They both have that opposite side with kid Miracleman.
What portrayals of him did you find to be preachy?
I was honestly gonna spend time writing a reply:

Says most of what I was going to say about what I found preachy and marty stuish. I'd just be nicer about it.
