The Sentry Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Among fans of Marvel Comics and Dc Comics, one question always seems to arise every so often that ignites flame wars which last for ages; what character from the Marvel Universe could stack up to Superman? Some fans have posited that the Hulk could do the job only for that suggestion to be shot down due to the Hulk's (typical) lack of intelligence. Others have tossed up Thor, who tends to be dismissed for being a magical being as well as his reliance on Mjolnir. For years, no one from the Marvel Universe could seem to serve as a suitable answer to this question. Then in 2000, Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee introduced The Sentry to the Marvel Universe... reminding the fandom to be careful what they wish for.

For all of Robert's faults and shortcomings, you have to feel for the guy. The man struggled with drug addiction, was homeless for a time, and is currently a widowed hero. A number of Robert's troubles were brought about by his own actions and inactions but there have also been a number of tragedies that have happened to The Sentry for seemingly no apparent reason. And again, Robert has to fight against an evil, homicidal force of nature on a more or less regular basis - giving a new meaning to the phrase "fighting your personal demons." Through it all, however, Robert's dog Normie has been by his side. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, Normie has helped Robert cope with his best and worst life experiences.

Even without having any innate powers, Normie is still an extraordinary dog. Robert's powers are the result of the Golden Sentry Serum - a chemical compound that's based on the Super Soldier Serum that empowers Captain America. Unlike the Serum that Steve Rogers uses, the Golden Sentry Serum had to be used multiple times by Robert to have any sort of effect. This opened the floodgates for Robert to overuse the Serum and he became addicted to it in time. Rob's addiction negatively impacted his marriage with his wife Lindy, as well as any and every other relationship he had with other heroes. Robert eventually had a really bad bender that altered his life in the worst way possible.

Due to his drug abuse, Robert found himself alone, homeless, and down-and-out with only Normie by his side. We eventually learn that Robert abused the Serum so much, he essentially made himself an amnesiac for a time; he forgot that he ever was the legendary Sentry and forgot that he was a member of the Avengers. Moreover, Robert forgot that he had formed close personal bonds with Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and many other heroes. Normie stayed by his side nonetheless and helped him get back on his feet. In time, Robert mended things with Lindy and eventually gained the willpower to use the Golden Sentry Serum responsibly.

Normie was rewarded for his efforts as well; as fate would have it, the dog was given a dosage of the Golden Sentry Serum when his life was in jeopardy. Normie gained the same sorts of powers that Robert possessed and he began fighting crime and saving lives as the canine hero watchdog!

The Sentry Inspired Dog Name Considerations

If you're a fan of Superman then you may end up liking The Sentry quite a lot. You may also be surprised as to why, in the end. As Marvel's analogue to Superman, The Sentry shares a number of traits with the Man of Steel; both men wear costumes that sport large S's on them, both heroes are powerhouses who can fly and have superhuman strength, and both characters are key members of their respective universe's most prominent superhero organizations (the Justice League and the Avengers respectively). That's about where the similarities end, however, for if The Sentry was meant to be a mirror for the Last Son of Krypton then he's a broken, dented one at that.

For all the ways that they're similar, The Sentry was created to be something of a dark version of Superman. An evil being known as The Void wrestles with Robert Reynolds (The Sentry's true self) on a daily basis. Robert is mostly able to keep The Void in check but there have been massive casualties when he's been unable to control it. Indeed, Jenkins and Lee created The Sentry as a way of showing that just because one can create a character with the powers of Superman doesn't mean that one can create a character with the, well, character of Superman. And that the sort of power he wields shouldn't just be given to anyone to sate a few internet arguments. Fans of both The Sentry and Superman and will have many choices of names to consider; take a look at your new pup's personality and match them with a Justice, Soldier, Goldie, Scarlet or Emma, to name a few.
