MCU vs. Sentinels (DOFP)

The sentinels copy mutant powers after being exposed to said power(s) for a short length of time, they also can share*** that power to other sentinels, so they probably some sort of hive-mind.

***The scene where the sentinel being scorched by Sunspot and the sentinel being frozen by Iceman, they then traded copied powers to counter each mutant.

But there was no diamond mutant nor was there a clawed mutant in the final battle which leads me to believe it wasn't copying powers. Of course I could be wrong and maybe it was just an editing mistake but copying doesn't make sense with those other powers

Ok. Let's make it official then. The sentinels can copy the powers of any of the MODIFIED members of the MCU team. Meaning they can copy those who were actually given or developed powers like Hulk, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Daredevil, etc.

They can't copy the powers of those beings whose powers are part of their native physiology like Thor, Loki, Groot and Vision.

They obviously can't copy powers that are given through technology like Ant-man's or IM's suits.

Let's bump up the number of sentinels to 30. Furthermore, the sentinels can share their absorbed powers between themselves.

How does the battle fair?

I took it as they gained those powers previously after fighting and killing those other mutants.

Though it does leave a hole, if they can indefinitely keep powers once copied, why were some Sentinels fodder.

Copying Hulk would probably net them a win, even if half are destroyed during the process, 15 Hulk-powered Sentinels would be a force the MCU probably couldn't stop.

I guess that's as valid a point as mine.

I heard that in the deleted scenes it showed that Rogue's power was also used in the Sentinals. Does anyone know if that's that case and if so should it be used here?

Well if we are assuming that they indeed copy powers then I agree with rob here. 30 or so Hulk like Sentinels would wreck everyone's shit. Plus add the fact they would be Hulk+ since they have more versatility that the actual Hulk has. Plus Quick Silver's speed and Scarlet Witch's power too? Yeah they would win this imo

Fine. Bring it back down to 15. That said, didn't the sentinels need some time to hold physical contact before they can copy powers? Will they be able to hold down Hulk long enough to copy his powers or will he just smash through them?

Quicksilver isn't part of this fight.

Guess it's pretty hard to make this match somewhat even. How about if the sentinels can't share powers. They can only absorb the powers of those they get in contact with, and they'll need at least 5 seconds of contact with that person to copy powers.

Then they'll be lucky if they survive long enough to find a way to adapt past Hulk or Thor for that matter. I agree that it's a hard matchup to make even.

I believe this is correct. Was awesome seeing what I think was Lady Deathstrike (*comic book*) and Emma Frost's powers.

A good fight would be to use the Sentinels that fought in the last battle in DoFP, which had already absorbed multiple powers.

Question: Did Juggernaut die in X3? I was wondering how the Sentinels would have defeated him - assuming 1) he survived 2) he is invulnerable like in the comics.

I think Sebastian Shaw is another which could have taken on the Sentinels.

I don't recall them ever mentioning whether he lived or died. There is a novelization where they mention that Iceman saved Pyro after KOing him, but I don't remember them shedding light on Juggernaut's fate. I might be mistaken though.

Shaw would have been an interesting foe. I can just see him standing there while a future sentinel tries to use its face blast on him, only for him to absorb the energy, and then shove it back in its face while saying "adapt to this".

the Sentinels would replicate powers then they all would be ****ed
