Comicbook origins: Sentry

Español

Sentry es uno de los personajes mas curiosos de la editorial Marvel comics. Fue creado por Paul Jenkins en un número de Marvel Kingts titulado simplemente: "The Sentry". En este volumen se nos contaba la historia de Bob Reynolds, una persona normal y corriente que, aparentemente padecía un trastorno que le hacía creer que era un superheroe conocido como Sentry. Poco a poco Bob empieza a desarrollar habilidades tales como la invulnerabilidad o la capacidad de volar que nos hacen pensar que quizas no este tan loco como parece....
Finalmente se descubre que Sentry realmente existió, y no solo eso, si no que fue el primer superheroe de la historia, pero por razones que no desvelaremos aquí se hizo que toda la población del mundo lo olvidara, si queréis saber mas tendréis que leer el comic vosotros mismos.

El traje de Sentry es dorado, con capa y botas azules, lleva la cara descubierta y una S en su cinturón, muy similar al de los luchadores de lucha libre. Eso juntos a sus poderes, recuerdan enormemente al archiconocido personaje de DC comics: Superman

Tras Marvel Knights, Sentry ha ido apareciendo con mayor o menor regularidad en el universo Marvel presentandose como uno de los personajes de ficción mas poderosos y mentalmente inesetables jamas creados. Con un poder al que se suele hacer referencia como: "un millon de soles en explosión" las opiniones acerca del personaje se dividen entre los fans que, o lo odian, o lo adoran. La última aparición del personaje se produjo en el evento conocido como "Siege"que data de 2010. Lo que es seguro es que volveremos a ver a Bob Reynolds pasearse por las historietas con su traje dorado tarde o temprano.

Sentry is one of the most interesting characters in Marvel comicsuniverse. It was created by Paul Jenkins in a number of Marvel Kingts simply titled: "The Sentry". In this volume we are told the story of Bob Reynolds, an ordinary person who apparently suffered from a mental sickness that made him believe he was a superhero known as The Sentry. Bob slowly begins to develop skills such as invulnerability or the ability to fly that make us think that maybe he is not as crazy as it seems ....
Sentry finally discovers that actually he exists, and not only that, but it was the first superhero in all  history, but for reasons which wont reveal here  the entire world population was made to forget him. If you want to know more you should read the comic yourselves.

The Sentry's suit is golden, with cape and blue boots, he carries no mask and a lighting "S" on his belt, very similar to the wrestlers. That, along with his powers greatly resemble the well-known character from DC comics: Superman

After Marvel Knights, Sentry has been appearing regularly in the Marvel universe. He is probably as one of the most powerful and  mentally sick characters ever created. With a power that is often referred to as "a million exploding suns" opinions about the character are divided among fans who either hate it or love it. The last appearance of the character occurred in the event known as "Siege" dating from 2010. What is certain is that we will see Bob Reynolds stroll the cartoons with his golden suit sooner or later.
