I dont know if Sentry has a bunch of physical feats. Everybody will use the helicarrier as a low feat for him although he's held oil tanker ships and jumbo jets with one hand, so its hard to guage. I think Sentry was a s strong as he needed to be depending on the moment. He's caught Are's and Terrax's hand in a full swing and shrugged off punches from the Thing without even moving, but again, thats nothing that Glads hasent done either.
Glads win due to lack of physical feats by Bob in my opinion.
That never happened.
At first, let me say that there is no such a thing like a "classic" Sentry. Sentry was never retconned propperly, so it was always one and the same Sentry.
The instance you're talking about did not happen in the past, but it was one of the more recent events with the Sentry. He was not weaker during the classic times, he simply didn't have that much mental issues.
With mental issues he was busting city-blocks (maybe even half of the city), while he was fighting WW Hulk in "WW Hulk #5".
When it seemed like he was in a condition, he was shredding entire worlds with his energy release, while still holding back, since there was also Captain America on the battlefield. That happened in "New Thunderbolts #18", I think. Photon teleported Captain America away and Sentry and him were alone in the microverse, where Sentry started releasing even more power, which surpassed an entire microverse and was visible in the real world.
So, he didn't shatter the planets by punching something. He shredded (destroyed) planets by releasing energy and still holding back.
Judging by his physical strenghts, while in a weak condition, he was punching Ultron so hard, that he was destroying the glass of the buildings with the force. I assume that he was still holding back, because Tony Stark was inside Ultron, but at the same time it also looked like Sentry tried really hard.
That comic was weird anyway, because it placed Sentry's strenght / durability level very low, even though he had sooo much more impressive showcases.
Like for example while he was still in a weak condition, he managed to physically overpower WW Hulk. Judging by their fight, he had the upper hand.
But maybe you had a different instance in mind. There was also something, but it was in "The Age Of The Sentry", which many people don't see as canon. There Sentry fought a Golden Age Sentry and their punches were shattering the entire city. But that is not a planet =P
I consider myself as the Sentry expert nummero uno, and I can't remember an instance where Sentry (no matter which version) was shattering an entire planet, by simply using his strenght. There is no such instance. Sentry is not weak, theoretically they say he has unlimited strenght and speed which scales with his mental stability, but he was never 100% stable, so even he had limits in comics and these limits never surpassed a planetary scale, when it comes to physical attributes. He was holding a Cosmic Cube, which sank an entire island once and you could say that he would be able to lift an island, but that's about it then. Sentry was always more about energy output and the molecular manipulation.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sentry vs Gladiator-The Strongest One
I'm going to quote myself on this one. Already explained it in previous threads:
...
In his fight with World War Hulk, Sentry had the upper hand the entire time. Pay good attention at the scans. At the actual fight and what's happening there:
^ In these few scans you see Sentry bullrushing Hulk through few buildings. Hulk knew he was coming, yet he was not able to dodge. He took it. And keep in mind that at the beginning Hulk got tossed around by the Sentry, while Sentry was staying at the same point, when he got attacked by the attack. In the last scan you see Hulk hitting Sentry in the face and now watch it ...
^ [/i]Sentry smiles, releases power and busts everything around him away. Hulk falls to the ground, Sentry flies above and his energy escalates, causes damage in billions ...[/i]
^ Hulk is all serious again and starts getting attacked by the Sentry, slap after slap, obviously unable to defeat himself, until he grabs the Sentry ...
Sentry was emitting energy blasts into him. Hulk was punching him in the face. Sentry didn't hold back but WW Hulk we later found out obviously was. This Hulk is more powerful than WW Hulk so he clearly wins.
When did that happen? In the year 2005, right? When did the Sentry die? In the year 2010, right? So he probably had more time to gather higher feats, something he basically did :-7
Additionally to that there was a scene of a fight during his first arc where a million people died because of it.
I would kinda think that he unleashed there more power, right?
Yo do know that you're using one of Sentry's weakest versions to face of one Hulk's most powerful versions, right?
How about you use a Sentry at his peak, you know, basically something we do in forum battles, who would curbstomp the Hulk.
That Sentry let loose like never before. It was stated on panel. That's what the writer had in mind not this weakened Sentry you keep pretending was there. He wasn't weak WW Hulk was just that strong. I do think Sentry is stronger than Gladiator as is the Hulk though.
I know that -_- The World War Hulk event happened in 2005 and Sentry had 5 years of existence later on, where he could gather further feats, also times where he was clear minded. You can't say that from the version in WW Hulk who was not able to leave the house, even though Hulk was threatening all the heroes.
Sentry at his peak > any version of the Hulk, even World Breaker Hulk.
Sentry with mental problems < HOTM Hulk < World Breaker Hulk
Sentry with mental problems > World War Hulk, because he has the power set to deal with him, yet he was restrained during WW Hulk by the writer, just the way half of the characters were restrained as well. It's a well known fact that the WW Hulk arc was full of PIS.
You're making up that the writer neutered him. The writer made it clear he poured his power into the WW Hulk it wasn't enough. The Sentry barely bested the Blue Marvel with help. The Sentry is just an elite top tier it only slides in his favor if the Void controls him otherwise he loses.
