Yeah I did. Astner as far as I know(and have ever personally seen on KMC) the rules are simply talking about having to post evidence of some kind. It's never been laid out that a specific issue number needs to be provided anytime a scan is posted.
Having said that, in the event that someone specifically asked it's "good form" to tell them. If they flat out refuse it always seems a little suspect cause it's like they're trying to hide context for the feat.

Initially the Sentry was very powerful, being able to causally defeat Terrax, tearing Ares apart, allegedly having fought off Galactus, not to mention disintegrating Molecule Man. Since then the Sentry has been demoted to just another brick.
Citations for all of these, please.
Guess it only works one way.

if we are talking about it chronologically, sentry's power is dependent on writers and which books he showed in. normal sentry with no void/deathseed/merge, was not that impressive feat wise.
in mighty avengers and new avengers series during late 2000, he was jobbing very hard. this was the era where he was having trouble with wendigo hulk, she-hulk, a hellicarrier, original human torch, hercules etc. but then again, he also had fight against genis that was shattering worlds. he fluctuates a lot.
stomping jobberrax and ares are not high-end feats for someone in his caliber. any competent marvel/dc heralds should be able to do that. galactus statement was off panel.
dark avengers and siege boosted him to new level. a level beyond what he was initially intended to be. like the molecule man feat. thanks to void.
imo sentry should be viewed as pre-siege and post siege. he was upgraded post siege power wise
I wouldn't say he was demoted. he had an impressive couple years in deathseed then annihilation scourge. (merge sentry was meh)
what really did him in was getting ripped apart by knull.

Of course it is.

You have no point here.
Who said Superman could hesitate for just a single picosecond? Because that isn't what's being said.
Its a picosecond split decision.
Hesitation is an action, the lack of hesitation isn't.
But the decision of not hesitating IS an action. You have to decide not to hesitate. It's not like your body is on autopilot.
I don't have to be able to react to not hesitate. In fact I'm not hesitating, not even for a single picosecond, that I will take a sip from my tea right now.
Yes, because you are taking the decision. Not in picoseconds though.

"Superman never hesitates. Not for a single picosecond."
This is your reading of it:
"Superman made a single picosecond decision not to hesitate."
Notice that they're not the same.

If you're not hesitating, then you're by definition not hesitating for a picosecond. Because if you hesitated for a picosecond then (by definition) you hesitated. It's just a more flowery way of expressing it. It adds no further insight.
I get it. You're excited because you saw the word picosecond. But in context this one is a dud.
