Sentinels are robotic machines designed by the United States to kill Mutants.
History[]
When Mutants first emerged, Bolivar Trask designed them for President George Bush to kill Mutants. When Washington D.C. was bombed by the Brotherhood of Mutants, Sentinels were unleashed in a New York trial run followed by one in Los Angeles. The New York deployment of Sentinels tracked Bobby Drake's Mutant signature and found the X-Men trying to save Drake. The Sentinels attacked, and several were destroyed by Ororo Munroe's lightning. The other X-Men destroyed Sentinels, leaving only two left. One grabbed Scott Summers but he blasted it with his eye beams and Drake destroyed the other one. Sentinels were deployed en masse in New York, but the program was shut down when Bush's daughter was kidnapped and returned by the X-Men. Sentinels were then sent after Erik Lensherr in the Savage Land, where Lensherr reversed their programming to kill humans. He took them to D.C. where they began destroying buildings, but X-Men attacked them. The Sentinels were destroyed, and Charles Xavier pooled the remains around Lensherr and detonated them.
Powers[]
Sentinels can track Mutant genes and use powerful laser beams to kill Mutants. They can fly and are ruthless.
