80% are wrong. And I never said Nova curbstomp. A couple of peeps said Sentry crushes Nova. Even if you believe Sentry would win, to say that he'd "crush" Nova is just ignorant.

I Like your enthusiasm. More power to you my friend.
As for the crush nova thing. I can understand those people, they don't mean it as an insult. Because there are only two sides of Sentry. Either he curshes his opponent without any effort at all or he behaves like a girl and cries .
And not to mention that by himself Sentry only uses his TP defensively\to held his energetically destabilised body together. The only time it was used for offensive purposes was when Sentry was mindcontrolled by Mastermind, who used his energy reserves as battery= not Sentry's feat.
Latent powers don't count in the battles, I think.
This is the type of ignorance that I'm talking about. It makes me wonder if any of you have ever even read Nova. You all talk about fights, here are some fights. This is the guy who went one on one with Annihilus while he had the cosmic control rod and the Quantum Bands for pete's sake! Annihilus, who has in the past ***** slapped asgardians, Thor and Balder, The Fantastic four, and several other heavies.
Nova was able to tear apart 100 Kree Sentry robots as if they were cheap toys. The same robots of which only 1 is able to give hell to several eternals, the Fantastic four and Captain Marvel. Nova has been able to hold his own in single combat against Thor and Gladiator, and that was when he had a mere fraction of the power that he has now. Nova also casually ***** slapped the most powerful members of the Thunderbolts and casually beat Gamora, Xentih and Drax.
You wanna talk durability? He tanked Galactus's solar system destroying blast, tanked flying into a friggin Neutron star at light speed. A NEUTRON STAR! An object with so much gravity that 1 teaspoon of it's matter is the equivalent of 100 metric tons. He flew into it head on at light speed with only 17% of his power and was fine. He survived flying into Galactus's energy syphon as it was absorbing the raw energy of a planet. He survived flying into "The Rip", which is the edge of the universe where space and time are literally torn apart. He also survived flying head on into a dimensional barrier at FTL speed, was reduced to a husk and was still alive. He was able to regenerate. The man has insane durability.
Nova is faster, more durable and as strong as Sentry. He also has a wider variety of ON PANEL powers and the Worldmind to boot. And I almost forgot he is an expert hand to hand combatant.
Dmills, Nova is one of my favorite titles at the moment (and I positively hate the Sentry) but I think a lot of the feats you mentioned have been quite exaggerated (I've read all the issues with the feats in question).
Between the two, I believe Sentry is more powerful after all a Nova is simply one exploding sun and the Sentry has been stated to have the power of a million exploding suns. <--- That paragraph is a joke, btw.
Joking aside, the way Sentry handled Terrax seems to point out that Sentry is more powerful. However, with the Worldmind, we add in tactical savvy and superhuman analytical abilities combined with Nova's combat experience and formidable abilities I'm sure they can figure out how to win against this stronger, yet fraught with disadvantages, opponent.
I agree, Gladiator & Sentry do have common power sets, but really, I can't see any of them losing to Nova.
Nova troops can hurt Gladiator for sure, more of pinch type pain
Nova Prime did hurt/push back Gladiator female counter part, Xenith, but it was more of spur at the beginning of confrontation, Xenith was shown more superior to Nova.
