10 Superheroes You DON'T Want Saving You
5. The Sentry
After consuming an experimental potion, Robert Reynolds obtained the power of a million exploding suns. Endowed with the power of flight, superspeed, and a strength that rivals the Hulk, The Sentry sounds like the perfect superhero.
Unfortunately, The Sentry's power came with a price. The Golden Guardian was so terrified that he could misuse his abilities, he became mentally ill. Over time, he developed a separate identity called The Void which encapsulates all his negative emotions and base impulses. The Void has all of The Sentry's power but none of the control. When that happens, it could unleash incalculable destruction to the Earth, the Solar System, and even the galaxy.
Even when he does rescue civilians, the Sentry usually scars them for life by disposing of his enemies in the most brutal fashion imaginable. On at least two occasions, he ripped his rival in two. (Anyone who witnesses such a grisly sight is going to need a lot of therapy.)
The Avengers are grateful for all the good the Sentry's done but can't help fearing him, knowing he is only one bad day away from unleashing untold devastation.
