8 Terrifying Interpretations Of Comic Book Villains

The sentinels might be the closest Marvel has gotten to full-on horror territory, we'll see how that changes with the release of the upcoming New Mutants movie.

The sentinels of the future hunt down the remaining mutants with terrifying ferocity. They cannot be reasoned with, they are programmed to kill, and they have the ability to adapt to whatever powers are used upon them. They are a far cry from the multi-coloured, dome-headed machines in the comics and cartoon.

In Days of Future Past, we see how easily they dispatch a whole group of mutants in a scene that features a truly horrifying moment where a sentinel crushes Colossus's metal head with their foot..

The sentinels are scary. Like, really scary. Their design is intimidating, making them giants with glowing orange eyes; their powers are horrifying, being able to take on any mutant they come across; and their motivations are equally terrifying, wanting to kill all mutants who cross their path.
