Sentinels are the name attributed to various models of robot featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are part of the mainstream Marvel Universe, colloquially referred to as the Earth-616 reality, but have also been represented in stories that take place in alternate realities as well. They are traditionally associated with stories dealing with the X-Men.

The original Sentinels, the MK I model, were first introduced in the pages of X-Men, Volume 1 #14 in November, 1965 in a story called "Among Us Stalk... the Sentinels!". The more popularly known models are the MK III models, which were first introduced in X-Men, Volume 1 #98 in the story, "Merry Christmas, X-Men — The Sentinels Have Returned!" in April, 1976. There have been many different models of Sentinel since then, varying in appearance, design, capabilities and programming.

History[]

Incomplete
One of the larger Sentinel manufacturing plants was a facility known as the Ant Hill, which was located in the Australian Outback. The Master Mold of this facility was a Mark III Sentinel referred to as Sentinel Number Two. The Sentinels engaged in an ambitious plot to sterilize Earth's mutant population by creating a solar flare from this facility. They fought up against the Avengers and were defeated. Iron Man buried the facility beneath a pile of rocks. ^[1]

Years later, Jubilee and Wolverine later fought up against Sentinel 3.14159 here. This particular Sentinel developed artificial intelligence and revived the older, discarded Sentinels at the Ant Hill in an effort to duplicate the solar flare event. This time however, the plan was to cleanse the planet of all human life to pave the way for Sentinel-kind. ^[2]^[3]
