Sentry

Robert "Bob" Reynolds, also known as Sentry, is a superhero in the Marvel Universe. He is extremely powerful, deriving his power from the Sun. He battles Hulk at the end of World War Hulk, finally calming down the Hulk until he transforms into Bruce Banner. In their battle they destroy most of New York City, and their power is shown to be mostly equal.

History

In the year 2000, Bob Reynolds, a seemingly normal man, suddenly recalls that he is the superhero known as the Sentry, the man with the power of one million exploding suns. Along with this recollection, he also realizes his arch-nemesis, the Void, is returning to the world. Reynolds immediately begins seeking out the rest of the world's most prominent superheroes to warn them of the coming threat.

Various heroes' memories of Sentry are restored as Reynolds talks to them individually. Peter Parker had taken a photo of Sentry that had earned him a Pulitzer prize. Angel recalls flying alongside Sentry, to help overcome his fear of falling. Hulk had never forgotten Sentry, whom he only ever referred to as "Golden Man". Sentry had helped Hulk keep control of his rage; later, this was revealed to be a product of a calming aura the Sentry can give off, which helped the Hulk work to be a force solely for good and to gain public approval. The people eventually remember their own memories about the Sentry and his former sidekick, Scout. Most importantly, Mr. Fantastic remembers that he and Robert Reynolds had been best friends and that Sentry had often teamed up with the Fantastic Four to fight the world's greatest threats. Over time the general public slowly remember the Sentry and the good he had done for the world.

During the course of an investigation into why the world had forgotten Sentry, Richards and Reynolds make a discovery: the Void and the Sentry are two parts of the same torn psyche. The reason the world forgot the Sentry was that Reynolds had used his power to erase the Sentry from the memory of everyone in the world, including his own, thus destroying the Void once and for all. With the heroes of the world united and waiting for the Void to come, Reynolds comes to the realization that he must make the sacrifice again. With the help of C.L.O.C., Sentry's computer assistant, Mr. Fantastic, and Doctor Strange, he once again erases the memory of Sentry from the world.
