You’re either missing my point or ignoring it. I don’t care whether you think the Sentry is a Superman clone. But you took an incomplete snippet from the article, said “Exactly” as if you were agreeing with it, and ignoring the part of the article stating the opposite of what you said.
The exact quote: “Since writing for the character, Bendis has wanted a Superman he can play around with and that is not the Sentry.”
That does not support your point.

Joe, incomplete writing on my part. I should have added, “…and that is what Marvel has done.” Bendis didn’t create Sentry.

Alan:
You should probably finish the quotes.
“…and that is not the Sentry.”
Inaccurately using someone’s quotes to support your own doesn’t make for intelligent conversation.

Example:
“It’s great comics and gets to me every time I read it.”
I agree Bendis is doing great work!

Not what he said, but it SOUNDS like what he said if I talk about it like that.

“…Bendis has wanted a Superman he can play around with…”

Exactly. Sentry is Superman. If you can’t create a good character, steal one.

“…all Spider Totem BS aside…”

I respectfully submit that, as BS goes, the Sentry has been clobbering Spider Totems, up and down the line.
