simaliar powers so on and so forth

Don't know enough about Sentry...at least I don't, and I'm not sure if anyone does at this point. His appearences have been limited, and are hardly definitive.

Anyway, if the rumors are true, Sentry wins. But it might be interesting..."the power of a million exploding suns" might make Apollo stronger, depending on what exactly Sentry's power is based off of.

-DM

light dude hes the master of light

Meh.... Sentry FTW

Bored, Scoob?

C'mon you all knew that this was coming. Two of my favorite heors. Hopefully there'll be a good debate as to which one of these is the superior Superman-type character. Me personally, I'm leaning towards Sentry. Anyway debate!

Sentry

Sentry but I think Apollo is a little bit better than usually given credit for. His main problem is stamina.

care to elaborate why sir? Validus do you mean his battery-type solar recharge thing? If so, then yes, if this battle drags out too long Apollo is in a world of hurt. Other then that they seem fairly matched. They're both fast and strong/durable but I think Apollo may be even more cold/blackhearted than Sentry. Whereas Sentry rips bastards in half and tosses them in the sun like they don't matter Apollo just sets f**kers on fire.

Actually, Apollo has quite a few more good showings. Sentry has beaten....a depowered Terrax and Hulk as his best wins? Then stalemated Genis and the Collective? But the hype machine for him won't let anyone say otherwise in this fight, and I don't feel like getting crucified over defending my boy.

Sentry doesn't even have a lifting a building feat but the characters he has faced Sentry never flinched nor gave ground.

He not only survived the Blackhole of the collective but traveled back under his own power, same with Genis.

Hey Genis was a madman, the guy would whoop Surfer's ass and don't even lie and say he won't. Also the Collective had the powers of 90% of mutants on the planet, thats crazy power and he also killed the majority of Alpha Flight and they were hella strong. So for Sentry to be hurt by any of those guys but still survive and stalemate them says alot.

anyway Apollo for the slight majority

I'm not saying otherwise. Just pointing out that Sentry hasn't looked totally invincible.

well, then again noone is. Even Superman isn't.

Has Apollo taken the deep dark dive into a blackhole and lived to tell the tale like Sentry?

That's a bit of a durability feat in and of itself.

Death Metal could've killed the majority of Alpha Flight too (he wanted to die so he was holding back and still winning)....so it's not like the AF feat instantly puts Collective at, say, Surfer level.

Also, Genis beating Surfer easily?

Oh, he beat Absorbing Man too. Again, a good feat, but not beyond some of Apollo's better showings as well.

And Black holes don't work in comics like they do for real. Nothing could escape from them (even superheroes) if it were for real. Lots of people have created black holes or survived them....Adam Warlock comes to mind (he survived one unscathed), who is versatile and powerful but not Sentry's physical equal.

How do we even know that was a black hole? Deadato's art just made it look like the purple haze of doom.

Digi, you think Surfer would honestly pose much of a threat to Genis? Genis stalemated King Thor perhaps even got the better of him and Surfer has a hard enough time handling regular Thor.

Neither does picking up heavy objects or flying yet it still has some "vailidity" same with this really.Originally posted by Validus

Yeah let's find another name for his art then

Forum myth. The "stalemate" consisted of taking one (extremely lazy) blow from KT, who didn't even consider him worth his time, then blasting him once. No real damage was done and their fight was interrupted.

But do you think Surfer would honestly pose a threat to Photon (who I think is a much stronger insane genis)

I consider Photon more powerful than Surfer but he isn't in a different league or anything.

Insane Genis is probably the most overrated character ever though.

Originally posted by Longinus

The incarnations of Genis are confusing as hell...I don't pretend to know them well. But what has he done that's even on Surfer's level? The KT "fight" was anything but, and shouldn't even be considered.

Surfer can destroy planets, transmute elements at will, absorb vast amounts of energy, attack at FLT speeds, and is consistently written at or above anyone that's under Thanos level.

Didn't Genis kill Entropy, who I heard was only somewhat weaker than his father (Eternity, I think) and with help he created a universe or something right? If he did that puts him above Surfer in my book.

Entropy said he needed matter, a spark, to create a new universe. Genis fired a blast of energy and there was a new universe. It's a rather ambiguous feat thats overblown by many.

Meh, you may be right....like I said, I'm not terribly familiar with the character. I normally just hear about the KT fight and "re-creating the universe" (which of course had a large set of circumstances surrounding it, and wasn't even hugely impressive).

{edit} Oh, that's what it was talking about...yeah, not so impressive.

In any case, Apollo v. Sentry....good times.

yea Sentry vs Apollo. Yea good times, good times. Sentry FTMFW

Sentry would beat the shit out of Apollo.

Apollo wouldn't even beat Winter imo, much less Sentry.

His stamina is a major problem. He'd beat a decent number of midtiers though, with his dive.

Apollo (The Authority) VS Sentry.

A little fight thats been on my mind as of late. any thoughts?

Me-yow.

It really depends on how much sun Apollo's seen.

He isn't like Superman - he doesn't have an average. If it's been a rainy week, he'll be MUCH less powerful than normal, it seems.

And he regularly sun-dips....

So...

Eh?

Guarantee Digi will come in here with scans and say Apollo.

Still depends. I dunno how the Sentry works, exactly, but I know that a fully charged Apollo is >>>>> average Apollo. Depends on how long they've been in space, and their proximity to the sun. .

I know it's not really a satisfactory answer, but if you read the run of the Authority, you'd see that Apollo can vary a SHIT load based on his charge.

He can also deplete it almost IMMEDIATELY if need be....

Apollo

Sentry

sentry, i assume apollo would weaken after a time.

Apollo's stamina sucks when he's facing a real challenge.

Sentry seems to be quite a bit more powerful than Apollo and could even overload him with energy if need be.

Originally posted by Ethereal

Going all out against someone like the Sentry? He'd likely weaken VERY quickly.

Sentry

Originally posted by SevenShackles

Probably buttsex, void kiss and all.....

Sentry in a stomp.

Apollo is low top tier, mostly because of his stamina problems.

He'd make it fun to watch, due to his bloodthirsty nature, but it'd be clear who was more powerful from jumpstreet.

Yo.

hell, I could see an arguement for Apollo being high mid-tier myself.

as for the fight, well I guess its like Uniomni said.......




Tazer

I'm not exactly an expert on either of these two, but I've seen more impressive things from Sentry. eatermm

Originally posted by TricksterPriest

When have I ever done that? Doctor maybe....but let's not generalize.

Apollo doesn't get nearly enough respect on this forum, but I'm not dumb. Sentry's feats, at this point, are >> Apollo's....if only because he doesn't have many low showings (Apollo does).

Don't think I've seen enough of either to make a proper choice, at least not Apollo.

I've seen a lot of appearances from both of them and I believe Apollo would lose .... badly.

Sentry FTW 9.8/10

Whats with all the dead threads?

Theorectically, wouldn't Sentry's aura power Apollo up?

If it doesn't Sentry 8/10, I give Apollo 2 wins because he's a lot more ruthless

That's an interesting theory. Both derive power from a similar source (though is Sentry actually powered by sunlight?).

Sentry's better. Apollo doesn't get enough forum cred, but he'd lose the majority...unless this idea actually was true and Sentry would be inadvertently powering him up.

Cool.

Sentry is hella overrated, and Apollo a bit underrated...

But, to be perfectly honest, I've never seen a feat from even a sun-dipped Apollo that would make me feel he'd beat the Sentry - and I do believe I've read most, if not all, of Apollo's appearances.

Even if Sentry's aura somehow amped Apollo, I don't see it being enough for the latter to win over the former.

I think what speaks more then the KT fight itself is the fact that King Thor was worried and geared for war against Sturm and Drang, and Genis easily killed them without even trying.

Also, Genis killed Heimdall with one shot (which he said was the equivilant of one of his finger's worth of force) and Heimdall has given Thor trouble in the past.

See, that's a more coherent defense of Genis. The normal "ZOMG STALEMATEZZ TEH KING THro!!!1!" is obviously lacking.

Really throughout his Insane run getting hit by KT and fighting Phylla were just about the only low-showings he had. Every other issue he just did whatever the hell he wanted with no limits. He had the Shiar, Kree and Skrull empires trembling in fear of him. He's even more powerful as Photon because he was amped by the moonstones.

I'm also curious as to why you think Terrax was depowered when Sentry fought him.

Sentry does Apollo a favor and rapes him gently ftw.

Of course in this case, I guess that would mean they both win.

Did I use the word depowered? I don't remember. This thread is at least months old, and was bumped randomly.

He's a legit planet-buster, so it seems like a low showing just to have his axe stopped by Sentry without trouble. But there's no evidence of depowerment, so if I used the term it was the wrong one to use.

If he lets loose any kind of that solar power, he'll end up supercharging Apollo.

the first fight takes place on the suns surface, and i think apollo would win that one, he seems to absorb solar energy faster then any solar based hero i have seen so fare.

then second i see sentry beating flat, sentry solar reserve run out quicker then any solar based hero so fare.

Sentry wins.

The first I agree with- Apollo charges *really* fast on the sun, he goes well beyond his normal levels when close and barely resembles his standard self.

The second I disagree with, Apollo runs out of charge very fast himself and Sentry's just stronger and tougher. Sentry wins every time.

Sentry erases Apollo from existence, then makes a bunch of tiny werewolves.

/thread

Can this fight be moved to the northern most part of Canada cause my home insurance doesn't cover superhero damage.

If you're home is damaged by a fight between Apollo and Sentry, I doubt you'll have a home left to have insurance on. In fact, I doubt you'll still be alive.

The two homos end up in a motel with Sentry on top.

Good god man, do you hate Apollo that much?

This thread was made based on a picture, and Colossus' love for gay men with beach muscles.

Apollo gets trashed

Apollo's on the low end of Superman analogs. He's still awesome but he's at a power disadvantage, and he doesn't have a compensating advantage.

Sentry as he was in New Avengers, Apollo'd lose after a fight. Sentry as he's been most recently, it's a stomp.
