Thunderbolts*
Thunderbolts*may be about to put in theMCU ’s most knock-down role yet , but it does n’t have to be an government issue . It is hard to imagine anyone aspowerful as an Infinity Gauntlet - maintain Thanos , but the Multiverse Saga has debuted some clear contenders so far . With Loki holding the multiverse together , Death herself interpose in human affairs , and Eternity cede the wish of resurrection , the MCU has never exuded as much power . gratefully , most ofthese powerful MCU entitiesare either good - natured or dispassionate , unwilling to intervene with mortal affairs for nefarious purpose .
Thunderbolts*may be about to shift this dynamic . The MCU ’s most powerful villainsare typically reserved for the likes of the Avengers to tackle , but the weaker cohort of down - and - out antihero and reformed villains that comprise the Thunderbolts may be completely out of their deepness . While this has lead to the assumption that some , if not all , of the Thunderbolts wo n’t survive their first appearance movie , I ’m concerned that the endurance of their main opposer will have huge implications on the full MCU .
Thunderbolts* Is Set To Introduce Sentry, Marvel’s Version Of Superman
Sentry Is One Of Marvel’s Most Powerful Characters
Lewis Pullman ’s Bob is an adaptation of Marvel Comics ' Robert Reynolds , whose superhero persona is Sentry . After Reynolds inadvertently consumes a concentrated form of the super soldier serum dubbed the Golden Sentry Serum , he take in the superpower of a million exploding suns . This , unsurprisingly , makes Sentry one of the most powerful entities in Marvel Comics , with powers that germinate into near - omnipotence . These admit :
Sentry has broken all of Hulk ’s bones , upraise his married woman , and killed the God of War , Ares . Unfortunately , Sentry ’s turbulent intellect ( and the handling of the mutant , Mastermind ) gave agency to a destructive and all - knock-down strength have intercourse as the Void- a dingy reflexion of Bob Reynolds ' regressive ego . The Void is one of Marvel ’s most blasting existence who has given the Avengers a streamlet for their money and perform such feats as displume a right in realness with his spare hands .
Nevertheless , the Avengers have raise that it is potential to defeat the Void .
Whether Sentry and the Void will own a similarcollection of powers inThunderboltsremains to be picture . Nevertheless , Thunderboltstrailers reveal the Voidwreaking havoc on New York by turning its citizens into trace by simply raising his hand . It is unclear whether this power is necessarily disastrous ( though it certainly appear to be the case ) , butthe effortlessness with which the Void submit his victims to this fate speaks to his incredible top executive . Sentry is to boot seen telekinetically pushing Red Guardian through a window , with the shot also revealing a flash of Sentry ’s platinum light-haired hair .
The Void has proven to be one of the Avengers ' most powerful adversaries , seriously putting them through their pace . This paints a black picture for the Thunderbolts , who , in Yelena Belova ’s run-in , " Just perforate and snap . " Nevertheless , the Avengers have prove that it is possible to vote down the Void .
In Marvel Comics, The Heroes Defeated Sentry By Killing Him
Bob Asks To Be Killed After The Void Is Subdued
Seige # 4saw the Avengers go toe - to - toe with the Void in a tooth - and - nail brawl that take all of their strength to win . After ab initio failing to best the divine entity , the team was indue by Loki using the Norn Stones , a powerful set of stone whose magical Asgardian properties are evocative of the Infinity Stones . While the Void would afterwards ostensibly kill Loki , this act empowers the squad to such a level that eventhe weakest members of the Avengerscan hold their own against the entity .
Marvel ’s Thunderbolts * movie was rebranded to feature an asterisk in the title , with several theories being crafted as to what it could intend .
After whaling on the Void for a while , the fight is brought to an end by Iron Man , who make one of SHIELD ’s Helicarriers - and all of its firepower - to crash right away into the Void . This was not enough to kill the entity outright , but it allowed a window of opportunity for Bob to recover control of his body . When in ascendence , he begs the Avengers to kill him to foreclose the Void from returning . While the Avengers are initially hesitating , the threat of the Void returning in Bob ’s eyes prompts Thor to unleash a lethal bolt of lightning .
Thunderbolts* Could Adapt Sentry’s Death To Defeat Him In The MCU
The Thunderbolts* Could Kill Bob After Subduing The Void
Evidently , the thunderbolt are n’t nearly as powerful as the Avengers . While none are capable of summon lightning like Thor , a crucial and somewhat controversial moment in the funnies was Iron Man using traditional weaponry . The Thunderbolts are in direct liaison with Valentina Allegra De Fontaine and her access to such ordinance , potentially appropriate them to replicate the here and now from " Siege # 4 . "

The crucial aspect of Sentry and the Void is their never-ending battle to gain ascendence of Bob ’s superpowered organic structure . Disabling the Void for an instant could allow Bob to find controland put up the same window of chance for the Thunderbolts to end his life . While it look at an sceptred Thor to kill Sentry , I envisage it would still be feasible for the super soldier in the Thunderbolts to deliver the fatal black eye .
Valentina Allegra De Fontaine is revealed to be the one who purchased Avengers pillar inThunderbolts * .
I think this would be an important step for Marvel Studios to take with Sentry . induce an entity as hefty as him in the MCU threatens to thrust everything off balance , as his ability would be more than sufficient to go up against the prominent threat the Avengers are due to face - especially when compound with the might of characters like Thor and Doctor Strange . I ’ll admit this would be somewhat upsetting , as Sentry is a particularly compelling character . gratefully , Marvel has already revealed that this wo n’t be the last we see of him .
Lewis Pullman Is Set To Return In Avengers: Doomsday, But He Could Be A Sentry Variant
The Multiverse Makes A Variant Of Sentry Possible
The surprise alive stream that annunciate the firstcast member forAvengers : Doomsdayrevealed that most of the stars ofThunderboltswill be reelect . While Olga Kurylenko was prominently scatty - further fueling the rampant rumors that Taskmaster will not survive the events ofThunderbolts- the shape list even include Lewis Pullman . This would hint that Sentry , along with the majority of the Thunderbolts , will surviveThunderbolts*to make it to the next Avengers movie .
Whatever the case , I call back it would be prudent of the MCU to address this flagrant power issue , lest the Void supersede Doctor Doom as the most menacing entity in Avengers : Doomsday .
That said , I find it very unvoiced to believe that Marvel Studios intentionally spoiled the fate of these characters with its stamp announcement . alternatively , it might be thatLewis Pullman and others will be impersonate edition of themselvesasAvengers : Doomsdayappears poised to bring multiple grapheme from alternate universes together , including the X - Men and Fantastic Four . While this may help feed unfavorable judgment about the multiverse nullify stakes in the MCU , I reckon it would all the same help to compound the impact ofThunderbolts*should the squad and Sentry of Earth-616 die .
Captain America : Brave New World adds to recent negative records , continuing the debate about whether the MCU is bad after Avengers : Endgame .
Alternatively , Pullman ’s riposte might be as Bob , as a fully inaugurated member of the Thunderbolts team . We have yet to learn about Bob ’s origins in the MCU , meaning he might be a skilled fighter aircraft and boon no matter of his major power . IfThunderbolts*culminates in the character crush the Void or Sentry , or both , this could vindicate his continued involvement in the MCU . Whatever the case , I think it would be prudent of the MCU to plow this glaring power issue , lest the Void supersede Doctor Doom as the most forbidding entity inAvengers : Doomsday .
