Fictional character biography

[edit]

Sentry-459

[edit]

The Sentries' main purpose is to stand guard over military outposts and depots throughout the Kree empire. Sentry-459 accompanies a Kree scientific party who journey to Earth to experiment on sub-humans, which eventually results in the creation of the Inhumans. When the Kree leave Earth, Sentry-459 remains to monitor Inhuman progress, with the Kree intending to use them as a militia force. Sentry-459 remains inert until it is inadvertently activated by the Fantastic Four, who battle it to a standstill. Considering itself defeated when the Fantastic Four escape, the Sentry sends a signal to the Kree alerting them to the presence of superhumans on Earth before deactivating itself.[2][3] The Kree Ronan the Accuser investigates the signal and battles the Fantastic Four soon after.[4]

The U.S. Army transports the Sentry to Cape Canaveral, where it is reactivated by Yon-Rogg, a Kree colonel and the leader of an expedition investigating Earth. Yon-Rogg attempts to use the Sentry to kill his subordinate Mar-Vell, who manages to defeat it.[5]

Ronan the Accuser later reactivates the Sentry and uses it in an attempt to reverse the course of evolution on Earth, but it is defeated by Mar-Vell.[6] Kree agents attempt to retrieve the Sentry, but are driven off by S.H.I.E.L.D. The Sentry is later activated by the Super-Adaptoid, who recruits it into his team Heavy Metal in a bid to destroy the Avengers.[7] The Sentry returns in the Blackwulf series, having been found by Ultron and recruited into his Underground Legion. It is eventually destroyed in battle.[8][9][10]

Other Kree Sentries

[edit]

Sentry-9168

[edit]

Another Sentry - Sentry-9168 - is encountered by the Fantastic Four on the Moon. This Sentry is smaller than traditional Sentries, being the size of a human, and is programmed to protect the remains of a hidden Kree city on the Moon. The Fantastic Four battle and destroy the Sentry via a remote destruct mechanism.[11]

Sentry-213

[edit]

Sentry-213 is a 30-foot (9.1 m) tall Sentry stationed in an unmanned supply depot/surveillance post on Uranus. It is destroyed by a group of Eternals led by Uranos, sparking a war with the Kree.[12]

Sentry-372

[edit]

This Sentry only appears once, and battles several members of the Imperial Guard before being damaged by the West Coast Avengers. The Sentry self-destructs and destroys the outpost it was guarding.[13]

Sentry-571

[edit]

Sentry-571 aided the Kree when their Lunatic Legion attacked Earth. It was defeated by Iron Man.[14]
