| |
| − | Created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]], they first appeared in ''[[Uncanny X-Men|The X-Men]]'' #14 (November 1965).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sentinels are programmed to locate [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]] and capture or kill them. Though several types of Sentinels have been introduced, the typical Sentinel is three stories tall, is capable of [[flight]], projects [[List of superhuman features and abilities in fiction#Energy blasts|energy blasts]], and can detect mutants.

| − | ==Characteristics==
| |
| − | {{Expand section|date=January 2011}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sentinels are designed to hunt [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]]. While many are capable of [[tactic (method)|tactical thought]], only a handful are [[self-awareness|self-aware]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sentinels are technologically advanced, and have exhibited a wide variety of abilities. They are armed (primarily with [[Directed-energy weapon|energy weapons]] and restraining devices), capable of flight, and can detect mutants at long range. They possess vast physical strength, and their bodies are highly resistant to damage. Some are able to alter their physical forms or re-assemble and reactivate themselves after they have been destroyed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some Sentinel variants have the ability to learn from their experiences, developing their defenses during an engagement. Several groups of Sentinels have been created and/or led by a single massive Sentinel called [[Master Mold]]. Some Sentinels are also equipped with an inconspicuous logic loop in case they should go rogue to convince them that they are mutants as demonstrated in the Tri-Sentinel.

| − | [[File:Sentinels.PNG|thumbnail|250px|Sentinels in ''[[Astonishing X-Men]]'' vol. 3, #1 (July 2004). Art by [[John Cassaday]].]]
| |
| − | * '''Mark I''' and '''Master Mold'' - Created by [[Bolivar Trask]]. First appeared in ''X-Men'' (vol. 1) #14. Bolivar Trask sacrificed himself to destroy the Master Mold.
| |
| − | * '''Mark II''' - Created by [[Larry Trask (comics)|Larry Trask]]. This model was capable of adapting to and counteracting superpowers almost instantly. First appeared in ''X-Men'' (vol. 1) #57.
| |
| − | * '''Composite''' - Created by merging the remaining portions of five Sentinels destroyed by the X-Men and came under control of Ashley Martin. It was destroyed by her when it rebelled against her.
| |
| − | * '''Mark III''' - Created by [[Steven Lang (comics)|Stephen Lang]] and ''Project: Armageddon'', secretly funded by [[Edward Buckman]] and the [[Hellfire Club (comics)|Council of the Chosen]]. First appeared in ''X-Men'' (vol. 1) #98.
| |
| − | ** '''X-Sentinels''' - Created by Stephen Lang. They are [[Android (robot)|android]]s who were duplicates of the original X-Men.
| |
| − | * '''Mark IV''' - Created by [[Sebastian Shaw (comics)|Sebastian Shaw]]. First appeared in ''X-Men'' (vol. 1) #151.
| |
| − | * '''Mark V''' - Created by Sebastian Shaw for U.S. government's Project Wideawake. First appeared in ''New Mutants'' (vol. 1) #2.
| |
| − | * '''Mark VI''' - Created by Shaw Industries for Project Wideawake and used by [[Onslaught (comics)|Onslaught]]. Also incorporated parts of Project Nimrod.
| |
| − | * '''Mark VII''' - Created by Shaw Industries. They were experimental and remote controlled.
| |
| − | * '''[[Nimrod (comics)|Nimrod]]''' (later [[Bastion (comics)|Bastion]]) - A prototype Super Sentinel that arrived from the "[[Days of Future Past]]" timeline and was later reactivated by Reverend [[William Stryker]].
| |
| − | ** '''Project Nimrod''' - Created by an offshoot of Project Wideawake and was in the experimental stage. Cancelled after [[X-Force]] interfered. Based on the Nimrod Sentinel.
| |
| − | * '''[[Prime Sentinel]]s''' - Created by [[Bastion (comics)|Bastion]] and ''[[Operation: Zero Tolerance]]''. They are disabled humans equipped with [[nanotechnology]] without their knowledge at Prospero Clinic. The Prime Sentinels were used as sleeper agents until activated by attack or presence of a mutant.
| |
| − | * '''Omega Prime Sentinels''' - The second generation of [[Prime Sentinel]]s. [[Karima Shapandar]] is one of them.
| |
| − | * '''Wild Sentinels''' - Built in secret by a new Master Mold in Ecuador, activated by Donald Trask III and used by [[Cassandra Nova]]. New units are produced based on the currently available resources – salvaged parts, weapons and sometimes even entire vehicles –, which give this particular type of Sentinel a very diverse, rag-tag appearance. Due to both this and their design flexibility, a wide variety of different shapes and forms have been observed. The Mega-Sentinels used to destroy [[Genosha]] and Nanosentinels both belong to this kind of Sentinel. The technology used in Nano-Sentinels is also employed by [[Weapon Plus]] for their artificial evolution experiments and the creation of their Super-Sentinels.
| |
| − | * '''Mark VIII''' - Sentinel Squad [[Office of National Emergency|O*N*E]], designed by [[Iron Man|Stark Enterprises]]. Unlike other Sentinels, the Mark VIII requires a human pilot.
| |
| − | * '''Bio-Sentinels''' - Humans infected by a technological virus created by Simon Trask, the victims become anti-mutant activists, who later at Trask's command, are fully transformed into robotic Sentinels mindlessly following Trask's commands.<ref>''Astonishing X-Men'' #31</ref>
| |
| − | * '''Stark Sentinels''' - The Stark Sentinels debuted during the ''[[AXIS (comics)|AXIS]]'' storyline. Under the influence of the [[Red Skull]] (who also had erased from him any memory of their construction), [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] created a model of Sentinels based on the knowledge of different super heroes he acquired after the ''[[Civil War (comics)|Civil War]]'' storyline. When Red Skull became the Red Onslaught, and the Avengers arrived to Genosha to stop him, he deployed the Stark Sentinels.<ref>''Avengers & X-Men: AXIS'' #1</ref>

Three of the creations were chosen to form the mutant-hunting Super-Sentinels, Huntsman, [[Fantomex]] and Ultimaton, who were intended to be presented to the public as superheroes in order to make the extermination of mutantkind look "like a Saturday morning cartoon".
| |
| − | * '''Colcord's Sentinels''' - Some of the Boxbots created by [[Madison Jeffries]] (aka Box) to serve the [[Weapon X]] Program, run by [[Malcolm Colcord]].

| |
| − | * '''X-51 ([[Machine Man]])''' - Captured by Bastion and "infected" with Prime Sentinel nano-bots which reconfigured and reconstructed his systems thereby giving him similar capabilities to Nimrod, such as adapting to almost any situation and programming that at times forced him to attack mutants.
| |
| − | * '''[[Juston Seyfert]]'s Sentinel''': First appearing in ''[[Sentinel (comic book)|Sentinel]]'' #1, this is a rebuilt Sentinel (likely a Mark V or Mark VI), reprogrammed to obey Juston Seyfert. Initially, Seyfert controlled the Sentinel by riding on its shoulder; he now has built a cockpit into it. Seyfert and his Sentinel are former members of [[Avengers Academy]] and featured in ''[[Avengers Arena]]''.
| |
| − | * '''Sentinaughts''' - One of the types of sentient robots who live in the free robot city of The Core,<ref>''Secret Avengers'' vol. 1 #26</ref> Sentinaughts are apparently based on the Sentinel design. They vary in size from roughly human to the large stature of traditional Sentinels.

| − | In ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'', the Sentinels, created by the [[Ultimate Marvel]] version of Bolivar Trask, were already in action at the beginning of the first story arc, hunting down and killing mutants on the streets, in a program apparently openly and publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government. Later on, there were also the ''New Sentinels'' that were actually sixty of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.#Ultimate S.H.I.E.L.D.|S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'s top agents in a Sentinel [[powered exoskeleton|battle armor]] that was described as having enough hardware to take on a fleet of the old Sentinel models (though this may have been an exaggeration). A new breed of Sentinel robots, created by Trask under orders from the [[Fenris (comics)|Fenris]] twins, is currently hunting mutants.

| − | ===Television=== | |
| − | * A Sentinel appeared in ''[[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]''. In the episode "A Firestar Is Born", It is seen in a flashback, fighting the X-Men back when Firestar was a member.
| |
| − | * The Sentinels appeared a number of times on the [[X-Men (TV series)|''X-Men'' animated series]], voiced by [[David Fox (actor)|David Fox]]. They appeared as season one's main antagonists. The Sentinels first hunt down [[Jubilee (comics)|Jubilee]]. The Sentinel program, controlled by [[Bolivar Trask]] and [[Henry Peter Gyrich]], was cancelled but the project moved overseas to [[Genosha]]. Trask constructed Master Mold for the Sentinels while on Genosha, but it was apparently destroyed when [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]] flooded the complex. Sentinels are later seen in [[Bishop (comics)|Bishop]]'s [[Days of Future Past|future timeline]] where they had taken over the world and mutants were on the verge of extinction. In the [[The Final Decision|season one finale]], the Sentinels, acting under Trask's orders, rescued [[Robert Kelly (comics)|Senator Robert Kelly]] from [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]], but Master Mold then declared "giving the orders now" in Track's and Gyrich's secret base in the United States. As Master Mold plans to kidnap world leaders from around the world and replace their brains with computers so that the world would fall under his control, the [[X-Men]] managed to fight through a seemingly endless wave of Sentinels until [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] destroyed flew an explosive-filled [[Blackbird (comics)|Blackbird]] into Master Mold and escaped at the last minute with Magneto's help. However, the Sentinels had sporadic appearances in season four.
| |
| − | * The Sentinels appeared in ''[[Spider-Man (1994 TV series)|Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]''. In the episode "The Mutant Agenda", they are seen in a [[Danger Room]] simulation when [[Spider-Man]] accidentally activated the simulation when visiting the X-Mansion.
| |
| − | * The Sentinels appear in ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]''. This version is much more powerful and heavily armed than their comic book counterparts.{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}} There was originally only a prototype created by former [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] agent Bolivar Trask, however, released in public by Magneto to force the X-Men to fight the prototype and reveal mutant existence to the media. The prototype alone was a dangerous challenge, even for the combined might of the X-Men and the [[Brotherhood of Mutants|Brotherhood]]. Three upgraded Sentinels are later used by S.H.I.E.L.D. against [[Apocalypse (comics)|Apocalypse]] and prove a difficult fight for the ancient mutant. The series finale hinted with Professor X's future visions at [[Nimrod (comics)|Nimrod]] appearing later in the show's timeline leading a fleet of Sentinels.
| |
| − | * Sentinels appear in the ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men (TV series)|Wolverine and the X-Men]]'' animated series, voiced by [[Jim Ward (voice actor)|Jim Ward]]. There are several types of Sentinels: [[Spider-Slayer|Sentinel Prowler]], the Mark I Sentinel, a more futuristic Sentinel, and Sentinel Hounds. The Sentinels are controlled by Master Mold.
| |
| − | * Sentinels appear in ''[[The Super Hero Squad Show]]'', voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]. In this version, they were created in an alternate reality's future where they were created to defend a superhero-less city. They are seen in the episode "Days, Nights and Weekends of Future Past! (Six Against Infinity Part 2)".
| |
| − | * A Sentinel appeared in a Danger Room simulation in ''[[Marvel Anime|Marvel Anime: X-Men]]''.
| |
| − | * A Sentinel appears in the ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' animated series. In the episode "Game Over", [[Arcade (Marvel Comics)|Arcade]]'s Madland game includes a real Sentinel (in the [[Days of Future Past]] level) which Spider-Man took control of, using its firepower to cheat through Arcade's levels.

| |
| − | * ''[[The Gifted (TV series)|The Gifted]]'' television series, which is connected to the [[X-Men (film series)|''X-Men'' cinematic universe]], features a modern-day version of the Sentinels called '''Sentinel Services'''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Schwartz|first1=Terri|title=Legion: X-Men Producer on How Professor X Fits In and Future TV Plans|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/01/16/legion-x-men-producer-on-how-xavier-fits-in-and-future-tv-plans|website=IGN|accessdate=5 November 2017|date=16 January 2017}}</ref>

| |
| − | * Sentinels appeared in an early draft of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' (2000), wherein Henry Peter Gyrich and Bolivar Trask attacked the X-Men with the Sentinels, but this treatment didn't make it past the concept stage.
| |
| − | * Sentinels were planned for inclusion in ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'' (2003), but they did not appear onscreen (although Project Wideawake is mentioned on a computer readout screen). Sketches for the Sentinels appear as extras on the [[DVD]] release. The Sentinels' height was not specified, but the sketches indicated that although their appearance was not severely altered, they would have had the ability to compact itself into a rolling saucer as a mode of transportation.
| |
| − | * A Sentinel was seen in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' (2006), during a training simulation for the young mutants at Xavier's school. At the end of the session, Colossus [[Fastball Special|throws]] Wolverine at the robot, while the latter beheads it. The only part of the Sentinel ever made visible to the viewer is its severed head, while the rest is shrouded in fog.
| |
| − | * The Sentinels are featured in ''[[X-Men: Days of Future Past]]'' (2014) as secondary threat to the mutants.<ref>{{cite web|author1=CS|title=Mark Millar Talks X-Men: Days of Future Past and Kick-Ass 3|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=99760|website=ComingSoon.net|accessdate=5 November 2017|date=1 February 2013}}</ref> In 1973, Bolivar Trask pitches the Sentinel concept to the US Congress but they decline him so he pitches them to foreign powers. [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] kills Trask in revenge for the mutants' murders that were experimented on while creating the Sentinels. Inspired by the fear of Trask's death, the US government approves the Sentinel program to hunt and kill mutants, and research on Mystique leads to Sentinels that can adapt and use mutant powers. The Sentinels eventually expand their targets beyond mutants to baseline humans based on the logic that they have the potential to produce mutant descendants, culminating in a [[Days of Future Past|dystopian future]] where most of humanity and mutantkind have been wiped out. With [[Kitty Pryde]] having developed the ability to project the minds of others into their past selves, the X-Men project Wolverine - the only person capable of surviving the time-travel's psychological strain - back into his past self in 1973 to rally the younger versions of Charles Xavier and [[Beast (comics)|Beast]] to stop Trask's assassination, setting into motion the events of the film. The storyline concludes with Mystique defeating Magneto and then deciding not to kill Trask on Xavier's encouragement, resulting in the government witnessing clear evidence that not all mutants are a threat to normal humans and deciding to abandon the Sentinel program. The original Sentinels from 1973 were similar in appearance to their comic counterparts being three times the size of a human, possessed gatling guns on one of their arms capable of firing 3000 rounds per minute, sensors that allow them to track carriers of the X-Gene and could fly using the vent-like systems on their chest. They were built out of a space-age polymer to be immune to Magneto's powers (but the mutant infuses them with metal bars to control them in the film's climax). In contrast, the future Sentinels were smaller and sleeker, with a body built out of adaptive mechanical scales, and besides having Mystique's adaptive powers they can reshape their hands into stabbing blades. The Sentinels were designed by [[Legacy Effects]] with [[Digital Domain]] building digital models based on their full-scale practical model while the future variant were all computer graphics made by [[Moving Picture Company]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fxguide.com/featured/future-threat-x-men-days-of-future-past/|title=Future threat – X-Men: Days of Future Past|publisher=Fxguide|first=Ian|last=Failes|date=May 27, 2014|accessdate=October 16, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite video|title=Sentinels: For a Secure Future|location=''X-Men: Days of Future Past'' Blu-ray|year=2014|publisher=20th Century Fox Home Entertainment|format=Featurette}}</ref>
