Sentry is also a deconstruction of captain america, not just superman
Each time people say that Sentry is a parody or a "copy" of superman(he's not, he is a deconstruction. But I also argue he is a deconstruction/foil of Captain America in a way. Here are some parallels and diversions between the two. I will admit it is extremely unstructured. Both have similar backstories: blonde-haired blue-eyed disabled guy takes a serum and becomes something more. But while Steve becomes "better", Bob becomes "worse" by also becoming the void. Both are seen as paragon moral heroes, but Steve is the "real" hero and Sentry is the "real villain"(by also being the void). Both are golden-age superheroes, but Steve is a real Golden age superhero being retconned into modern times while Bob is a modern times superhero being retconned into being the Golden age. Steve represents the peak of humanity and how he perseveres with responsibility while Bob represents the peak of superhuman and how he struggles from the weight of responsibility. Both also have a sidekick. One "dies" trying to be a hero while the other dies in a more "villainous" way. Steve was "forgotten" in real life while Sentry was forgotten in-universe. Steve doesn't have any superpowers; he relies on skill. Sentry doesn't have much skill; he relies on his superpowers. There are probably more parallels, but I can't think of anymore at the moment. I am probably overthinking, but there is just too many similarities for it to be coincidental. Unrelated, but when was Sentry operating? mid 1950s? If so, he was operating when Cap was in ice but then he disappeared when Cap returned. I am not the most sure on that fact. I do really want Bob's reaction to other 1950 heroes. what do u guys think? I am definitely overthinking and overanalyzing but I love sentry so much
