Sentry.

Talk about an interesting/confusing character. Ever since his first appearance here's a guy who seems to be a walking plot device. From casually destroying Owend to getting own by Hercules his power levels seem to vary widely. So on an attempt to hash this guy out I want to try and merge him. See if based off ALL his showings can we get a clear depiction of where he sits.

This is Regular Sentry, Sentry/Void and Deat Seed all amalgamated into one.

What tier is he in ON AVERAGE based on FEATS? Not writer/editor/fanfic/handbook statements...stuff that actually happened in comics.

And how well does he do against

Nu Darkseid
Classic Thanos
Classic Fate & Classic Strange with 30 min prep.
Classic Odon

sentry is omniversal you sodomite, havent you heard? he stomps them all.

but seriously i cant see him beating any of these guys on average.

There is no "average" Sentry.

He has only "bad showings" when he is weakened or depowered.

High End trans level.

Wrong.

There is no limits to his power-level.

He is more powerful than Molecule Man and Beyonder.

Averages are based off a percentage of his fights in canon. Everyone has an average even if they had only 1 fight

There is no average:

Or he is somewhat depowered / weakened by his mental state in the stories

Or he is stable.

His mental weaknesses disappeared so his average is definitely being limitless.

Reread the op. I said give an average based off all his showings and explicitly stated NOT to use writer/editor/handbook statements. If you don't like the thread u can always create a Sentry vs Lucifer Morningstar thread and see where that gets u

The op didn't determine the power of the character.

The writers / editors / handbook are here to give the accurate description.

All the rest is at best a fan fiction.

And on topic, Lucifer Morningstar is fodder to the Sentry.

Yeah...I'm gonna need to politely ask you to GTFO

Are you done?

You wanted an opinion on your thread.

I provided one, which is the one coming from Marvel.

Can't speak on Nu Darkseid, but I think PC Darkseid would defeat him.

For Classic Thanos I don't know, he is very durable and yet the kind of energy Sentry and Genis output from the microverse would suggest to me he should be able to harm him.

I feel Classic Fate and Classic Strange together even without prep would present significant problems to Sentry, giving them prep just makes it worse.

Not sure who Odon is, I assume you mean Odin in which case I feel since he destroys galaxies as a mere side effect to his battles he is above Sentry.

I'm going to agree that the OP doesn't make much sense here. Averaging the Sentry won't yield anything meaningful, really.

Mostly because it's really hard to know exactly which take a writer had on him. Many were on board with him being a cosmic force who had trouble accessing his full powers reliably. Others just used him as a blonde Superman. Some were in the middle--like in WWH where it seems like the Sentry's full power is awesome, but well below levels he's shown elsewhere.

OF course even uber Sentry has limits--as has been said, there are levels of Omnipotence.

Did they even ever truly explain what Sentry is? I remember we had a variety of explanations and I even think they implied he was some kind of angel of death or something?

Didn't you know? He was Beyonder as proved by Jenkins. On his Twitter.

Bendis had tons of ideas, all just to confuse his readers as usual 😂

Lol.

What Jenkins wanted him to be no longer matters.

What's so hard to understand? The op is simple. On average where would you place him. Based on feats...where does he rank? Since when is hyperbole a good substitute for actual on panel feats.
