Our only chance against doc doom 🙏🏼

I thought it was an underrated heroic moment for Bob and it sucks to see Bendis do what he did later on

I made this using this editor

Its an old concept of mine on how Sentry could be implemented for the game

additionally some notes on how i envision it

Visual Effects (VFX) & Aesthetic Identity

Sentry’s visual language is a core pillar of his gameplay, cleanly telegraphing his mental state and form to both allies and enemies through distinct thematic lighting and particle behavior:

• Golden Sentry (The Golden Guardian):
  • Theme: Classic heroic silver-and-gold styling with blinding, pristine solar energy.
  • VFX Profile: Radiates pure, brilliant golden-yellow and bright white light. His flight trail is a glowing trail of sun-fire, his punches crackle with radiant solar flares, and Golden Presence manifests as a majestic, translucent golden-yellow force dome that leaves a warm, glowing aura on teammates standing within it.
• Dark Sentry (The Dark Avengers Era):
  • Theme: Sinister, corruptive malice inspired by his infamous Norman Osborn Dark Avengers run.
  • VFX Profile: The color palette violently shifts to smoky black and toxic, burning orange. His eyes glow with fierce amber embers, his primary punches leave scorched dark-matter impact craters, and Entropic Tendril lashes out as jagged, writhing strands of dark energy laced with glowing orange fault lines.
• The Void (The Living Nightmare):
  • Theme: Pure psychological terror pulled straight from Jae Lee’s haunting horror artwork.
  • VFX Profile: Complete visual distortion. The bright colors vanish entirely, replaced by a suffocating void of pitch-black smoke, shifting shadows, and violent crimson red accents. His claws drip with jagged red energy, his aura warps the surrounding air like heat-haze over a dying star, and his Universal Void ultimate plunges the screen into absolute, pitch-black sensory deprivation hemmed in by glowing crimson edges.

How He Would Play

Rather than locking you into a single rigid playstyle, his kit is meant to be played as a rhythm-based battlefield force:

• Anchor Phase (Golden Sentry): You begin team fights holding down the front line like a traditional Anchor Tank. You project your 800 HP Golden Presence shield to burn away incoming projectile spam, soak enemy pressure, and carefully monitor your team's positioning. Every hit you land or channel you maintain actively cleanses your psyche, keeping you stable and reliable.
• Escalation Phase (Dark Sentry): When the enemy commits or a chokepoint needs to be cracked, you flip the switch. You pivot from an anchor into a hyper-aggressive Space-Taker Tank, diving into the fray with your dual-input grab-and-slam dash (You Won't Escape!). With a 10% damage boost and native lifesteal, you bully enemy backliners and carve out territory, accepting the heavy trade-off that every aggressive action drives your Fracture meter higher.
• Ticking Time Bomb (The Void): Your enemies cannot ignore you, because your Fracture meter functions as a constant, looming threat. If you manage it well, you drop back into Golden form to cool down. If you push too far, or if you are caught out and triggered via One Must Fall, you snap into The Void, like a raid boss straight into their backline. For 8 seconds, you are a terrifying and your survival depends entirely on whether you can secure a kill before the timer expires and you come back from the brink or leaves you collapsing to 1 HP or dead.

Just Bob & Thor reuniting and catching up over a light sparring match.

Always found it nice that Thor never held what happened in SIEGE against Bob. A lot of people would have never let that go.

Looks like they are reusing the setup from Marvel's SDCC booth for New York Comic Con, showcasing the 'Avengers: Doomsday' costumes, and Bob was included!

Hi everyone, it's my first time on Reddit and I want to say that I loved this section of The Sentry.

Just to ask

How likely do you think it is that we could see a Lindy Lee in the MCU?

He fakes his death, by disintegrating himself into millions of tiny particles while in battle with doom as the void.

Prior to this happening, Doom had found a way to trigger the Void.

Unbeknownst to Doom, Bob had not been idle when it came to figuring out his powers, he had found a way to take control, to an extent, whenever the Void is unleashed.

A single moment before whoever or whomever's reality warping energy blast makes contact with him, he forces energy outwards against that in a few blasts to create a gigantic explosion that covers the battlefield to disguise his disintegration.

Bob sure has an interesting relationship with Tony.

Just noticed rereading through Dark Avengers that as far back as Issue 12 after he beats Molecule Man that he was saying this and I was curious to know if there were any mentions of him being suicidal as far back as his tenure on the new Avengers
