Depends if Superman's DNA can somewhat match a human's--which is unlikely.
As for an actual fight I think the Sentinel will benefit from a no-limits fallacy plot device win. At least the future version. I don't remember if the future versions managed to get destroyed at all. The 70s sentinels get owned though.
This is a joke right? One sentinel? Even if they could adapt to that level of power; it'd be too late as it hasn't faced anything remotely close to the raw power of a Kryptonian.
^Except for Magneto and Storm. 2 of them had enough strength to rip apart Colossus in his metallic form.
Honestly, these were less like Sentinels, more like the Fury from Captain Britain comics. I guess that was Singer's way of introducing him to the cinematic 'verse.
They have to be durable enough to withstand an initial attack though. Same principle as the Borg. A few have to be sacrificed before they can fully adapt. One sentinel isn't going to cut it. If Magneto and Storm can destroy many then one has NO chance against Kal El.
Magneto and Storm destroyed them by overloading the reactor core of the X-aircraft with lightning strikes. And they weren't even actually destroyed, as scores of the things were seen flying towards the monastery even after Magneto's little stunt with the X-ship.
The ones caught in the blast were definitely destroyed.
Also w/o the ability to adapt to Supes DNA, the Kryptonian stomps.
Even if it did, it would need to survive an initial strike which I doubt it would be capable of doing since even the mutants were destroying them prior to adapting.
I'm curious when did it state the target needed mutant DNA for the sentinel to adapt? I figured if it was being blasted with ice it adapted using the most useful power (fire).
Also why do people constantly bring up the target isn't mutant? (Seen this argument brought up a few times) I would think the natural assumption is the sentinel is sent to fight whoever the opposing character is.. I never see anyone bring such things up in fights like 'batman vs robin fight to the death' where they wouldn't do that.. But for the sake of the thread we assume they would under some circumstance whatever it may be.
^ Because the people(myself included) can't stand seeing their favorites loosing due to something rather convenient like adapting.
Also as far as the sentinels are concerned, they don't need the DNA necessarily but the do need to be hit by a mutant power in order to adapt and overcome it. Otherwise, the sentinels would all be either armored or diamond up while flying and the Blackbird exploding wouldn't have done nearly as much damage.
I did notice that they only adapt to one ability at a time so that could possibly be exploited right?
There were several sentinels that were destroyed by people like storm, Magneto,and bishop. All are which weaker than supes and no sentinel has adapted to supermans level of power.
