The Kree Sentries first appeared inFantastic Four #64 (July 1967) and were created byStan Lee andJack Kirby.
The Sentries' main purpose is to guard military outposts and depots throughout the Kree empire. Sentry-459 accompanies a Kree scientific party that journeys to Earth to experiment on sub-humans, which in turn creates theInhumans. When the Kree leave Earth, Sentry-459 remains to monitor Inhuman progress. Sentry-459 remains inert but observing until it is activated by theFantastic Four, who fight it to a standstill. Considering itself defeated when the Fantastic Four escape, the Sentry sends a signal to the Kree before deactivating.[1]
Sentry-459 is later reactivated byYon-Rogg, who sends it to attack his subordinateMar-Vell.[2][3][4][5] InBlackwulf (1995), Sentry-459 joins the Underground Legion, but is destroyed byRonan the Accuser.[6][7][8] InDamage Control (2023), Sentry-459 resurfaces and joins the teamHeavy Metal alongsideJocasta,Machine Man, andTESS-One.[9][10]
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.[11]
Sentry-213 was stationed in an unmanned supply depot/surveillance post onUranus. It is destroyed by a group ofEternals led byUranos, sparking a war with the Kree.[12]
This Sentry only appears once, and battles several members of theImperial Guard before being damaged by theWest Coast Avengers. The Sentry then self-destructs and destroys the outpost it was guarding.[13]
Sentry-571 aided the Kree when their "Lunatic Legion" attacked Earth. It was defeated byIron Man.[14]
