The Kree Sentries first appeared inFantastic Four #64 (July 1967) and were created byStan Lee andJack Kirby.
The Sentries' main purpose is to stand guard over military outposts and depots throughout the Kree empire. Sentry-459 accompanies a Kree scientific party who journey to Earth to experiment on sub-humans, which eventually results in the creation of theInhumans. When the Kree leave Earth, Sentry-459 remains to monitor Inhuman progress, with the Kree intending to use them as a militia force. Sentry-459 remains inert until it is inadvertently activated by theFantastic Four, who battle it to a standstill. Considering itself defeated when the Fantastic Four escape, the Sentry sends a signal to the Kree alerting them to the presence of superhumans on Earth before deactivating itself.[1] The KreeRonan the Accuser investigates the signal and battles the Fantastic Four soon after.[2]
The U.S. Army transports the Sentry toCape Canaveral, where it is reactivated byYon-Rogg, a Kree colonel and the leader of an expedition investigating Earth. Yon-Rogg attempts to use the Sentry to kill his subordinateMar-Vell, who manages to defeat it.[3]
Ronan the Accuser later reactivates the Sentry and uses it in an attempt to reverse the course of evolution on Earth, but it is defeated by Mar-Vell.[4] Kree agents attempt to retrieve the Sentry, but are driven off byS.H.I.E.L.D. The Sentry is later activated by theSuper-Adaptoid, who recruits it into his teamHeavy Metal in a bid to destroy theAvengers.[5] The Sentry returns in theBlackwulf series, having been found byUltron and recruited into his Underground Legion. It is eventually destroyed in battle.[6][7][8]
Another Sentry - Sentry-9168 - is encountered by the Fantastic Four on the Moon. This Sentry is smaller than traditional Sentries, being the size of a human, and is programmed to protect the remains of a hidden Kree city on the Moon. The Fantastic Four battle and destroy the Sentry via a remote destruct mechanism.[9]
Sentry-213 is a 30-foot (9.1 m) tall Sentry stationed in an unmanned supply depot/surveillance post onUranus. It is destroyed by a group ofEternals led byUranos, sparking a war with the Kree.[10]
This Sentry only appears once, and battles several members of theImperial Guard before being damaged by theWest Coast Avengers. The Sentry self-destructs and destroys the outpost it was guarding.[11]
Sentry-571 aided the Kree when their Lunatic Legion attacked Earth. It was defeated byIron Man.[12]
