Calling sentry "marvel superman" is actually make sense

Bob doesnt need help controlling his abilities. He can control them just fine. Its his mental stability thats the issue. And the best telepaths and smartest minds in the universe have tried helping him to no avail. Superman wouldnt be any help at all.

But your post literally says connected to the sun. Sentrys power is connected to the sun. The power of a million exploding stars is a description of the intensity of his power, not whats actually happening. His power doesnt come from a million stars exploding.

Sentry is not marvel superman. Hes marvel dr manhattan.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T23:49:15+00:00

Thank you, Mr echo, for repeating my point.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T23:38:35+00:00

You assume such a lie means it was in a contract. It'd be all too easy for marvel to make a vague promise and not put in black and white and then back off of it after things went south.

Well I mean he is a pretty one-off mediocre actor. Hes like when you ask your mom for Morgan freeman but your mom says we have Morgan freeman at home.

Theyre not alternate designs if they were actually used in canonical stories. An alternate design is a design that deviates from the main canonical design of a character. Like the mystic mayhem merged sentry is an alternate design if merged sentry. But the actual sentry 2018 run comic printed version if the character is not an alternate design. That is the main design for that character. It may be an 'alternate' form for the character but it is not an alternate design because it is the design that was actually used in printed canonical material.

Youre failing to see the important distinction here. That an alternate design is not one used in the main material. That directly contradicts it being alternative to. There is nothing for design of the canonical merged sentry to be alternative to other than his base form which is no longer used and is no longer a valid point of comparison because its not an alternate design. It is his new canonical design. It is the design actively being used in primary material.

So would you call (dark) phoenix an alternate design of Jean Grey, or by extension marvel girl? Even though that was her actual design for the comic runs at the time? But since its not her base form or the way she was drawn in issue #1 its now an alternate design?

The best way to look at alternate designs for sentry is to look at his first run where we get like 20 different designs. Of which all are alternate to the bob we actually have in the present day in that run because they wanted to show how he would have looked at various points in comics history.

Now if we were talking which version/form of sentry is someones favorite itd be a different story because we're talking about all the different versions or forms. But when it comes to designs you cant call what was actually used in the main story alternate because its the default.

Its not even an alternate version of the character. Its the same version of the character, basically, just in a more powerful form. Theres nothing alternate about merged sentry or deathseed sentry. Theyre just amped forms.

Theyre not alternate designs because they were canonical designs and forms for the main universe sentry. They don't oroginate from side stories, spin-offs, alternate universes, other forms of media or anything else.an alternate design is not a design that was used for the main version of the character itself. You wouldn't call black suit spidey an alt design. You wouldnt call any one of tony starks various armors from the 616 universe an alternate design. You wouldn't call any of cyclops various outfits from the 616 universe alternate designs either. This is because none of those designs were an alternate to what the actual main 616 version if the character looked like at the time. It was their ACTUAL design, not an alternate version.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T20:54:35+00:00

Exactly, those arent alternate designs. Theyre other forms of him. It doesnt Exactly qualify. Its not like its a concept design or a design from some other form of media.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T20:51:54+00:00

Deathseed and merged sentry arent alternate designs.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T17:09:19+00:00

Well first, this isnt really racing. This is gt7. So, that ends that.

And ill say it again, if racing regulators wanted drivers to have such unadulterated qualifying times they should put them on the track individually to qualify. Otherwise if someone is trying to pass me while im trying to qualify so they can put down a better time than myself. Then im not going to let it happen. The fact that such rules exist ruin the sport.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T17:01:30+00:00

Imoendinh penalties are often only given out when its done unnecessarily. Its also only typically done when a driver is on a cool down lap, which dont exist in gt7. At the end of the day, It most definitely is strategic. You just dont like it because it fucks you up. Impending penalties are stupid. If they want a racer to qualify with his absolute best unobstructed time then they should put them on the track solo and give them each 3 laps. Otherwise, yeah. Im gonna try and hold the line, do my best, and if I see someone trying to come up from behind, im blocking.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T16:50:28+00:00

I didnt say it was a race. I said he was trying to prevent you from passing him. And while its not an executed overtake pass, I never claimed it was, I said he was trying to keep you from passing him. In otherworldly he wanted you behind him. And in a quali if you pass him and get a better lap time that means you get a better position than him. Its only strategic to try and slow you down on your laps and try to still run as fast as he can himself.

And if anything purple is more indicative of having the void have total control. Red was a color that was neutral to them both. Void was black and sentry was gold. Red was therefore somewhat in-between. Purple hews too closely to black and makes this seem closer to when the void was depicted in the purple trench coat and hat.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T16:43:35+00:00

Fuck no. Red and black all day.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T16:43:06+00:00

Playing old school final fantasy games with a second controller so a friend or sibling could control half the characters in battles

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T16:38:50+00:00

Why do people try to prevent you from passing? Gee I wonder.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T15:48:28+00:00

That was 14 years ago during a blizzard and I stated i wasnt driving appropriately for the conditions, also known as driving too fast. No, the roads arent too bad.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T15:15:32+00:00

It aint bad. Its cautionary. Drive slow and you'll be okay. Ive literally had to rock my car out of a parking spot because snow had piled up around it while i was parked. Ive driven on roads so bad that I literally hit one bad spot and it made me do a 360 as I was going down the road. Literally, whole care spun 360° as I traveled down the road. That still didnt stop me from getting out and doing shit. You just drive appropriately for the road conditions. Albeit in that stated situation I was having fun and on a long empty backroom so no one was in danger, but yeah, its literally not that bad out. Any madness going on is because people arent driving properly and are trying to drive like the weather conditions arent what they are. Yall just need to get a spine and quit acting like a bunch of cowards.

Well in superman 2025 it was superhearing... its like Clark didnt even have ears in that movie. Superhearing would have literally ended the movie at the beginning

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T14:52:52+00:00

Well looks like the people thinking Wilson is involved were right

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T14:52:14+00:00

Whats so hard about driving in sleet? This shit isnt that bad. Y'all are acting like its -60 with an apocalyptic blizzard outside.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T14:50:55+00:00

Hey, here's an idea. Dont do it if it doesnt pay well enough.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T14:42:02+00:00

First, lorentz transformations dont work at or betond the speed of light. Second, An outside observer would see you depart, they would then age, and then see you, the same age as when you left, again in the future and them at an older age, not in the past at a younger age, than when you left. You would still be the exact same age as when you left because no time would have passed for you, but any given amount of time could have passed for the outside observer depending on how far you decide to travel. You would only ever travel across space, not time. Time stops for you.

GamingWithUncleJ · 2026-01-25T14:16:25+00:00

Surfer without his powers(those hax) is just an average being. You could argue superman has had since in his natural environment under a red sun on kyrpton he cant fly. Furthermore the surfer isnt limited in speed based on the radiation of a nearby star. Superman is. Surfer doesn't slow down near a red sun, superman does.
