She's too new. The ONLY thing going for her is she is the only real remaining option. I'd say even Ares or Deadpool could be more likely. Ares would actually be a good choice for a number of reasons.

I have him cover maxed, I don't like him, I don't want to use him and half the very rare times when I pull a gold cover, it is yet another extra Sentry. Give those covers to someone else, please. I've already discarded about 2 covers and used another one to respec.

Thor/Patch/Torch/Punisher/CMag are some of the best characters for transitioning players and yet you leave in IM40/Spider-Man and to a lesser extent Falcon/Psylocke/Hulk. My first covered 3* was IM40 back in the day and at least we had true healing to make him serviceable. I would hate to be a new player with my first fully covered 3* being Captain Marvel or Beast.
Frank Castle - also known as The Punisher - was at a Ye Olde Hot Dog Stand and getting ready to buy himself a few Hot Dogs to tide himself over for his wait in the Vault of Holding when he heard the familiar 'whoosh' of a cape fluttering in the wind behind him. He didn't have to turn his head around to see who it was; the gloomy silence that radiated from behind him told him everything he needed to know and if he somehow still missed it, the light rattling of the metal Hot Dog Stand said everything else... and then some. "So they got you, too, huh?" he asked in a conversational tone of voice. The withering glare aimed at the back of his head made him smirk faintly; oh how the mighty had fallen. "Now if only the uppity and uncontrollable Robert were here to join us as well," the voice of Max Eisenhardt - also known as Magneto - crooned darkly. "Apparently, it's out with the old and in with the new for them!" Frank couldn't help but snark and was treated to another withering glare. Max opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by, "That will be five dollars, sir!" The Hot Dog vendor's untimely announcement earned her an almighty glare from two pairs of eyes and she gulped. Obviously, it was a bad idea to interrupt a face-off between men such as the ones who were frequenting her Hot Dog Stand. "You mean TEN dollars, young miss, and for FOUR Hot Dogs," Max's accented no-nonsense voice finally growled out from behind clenched teeth and to the tune of Frank's steadily climbing eyebrow and dropped jaw, he plunked down a neatly folded but still crisp ten dollar bill and swept up four hot dogs. When Frank opened his mouth to speak, Max beat him to it. "Shut up, Frank," Max said and with four Hot Dogs in a paper bag - including the two that were supposed to be Frank's, he levitated himself up and away before the other man could respond or protest. Robert Reynolds - also known as the Sentry - might have the power of one million exploding suns, but he was the absolute Master of Magnetism and magnetic forces and unlike Sentry, was in no danger of blowing himself up from one wrong move or from sheer twitchiness. Robert, on the other hand... Lips curled into a feral grin, Max smiled to himself as he settled to eat his hot dogs. Yes, the time would come for even Robert; he would just have to be patient and wait.

The game is perfectly playable without Sentry. I have him as an honorary 2* at L95 along with several other 3*s, Nick and Dino, and pit them against 2* and transition teams. Never Sentry-bombed except a couple of times as a joke. He's not actually useful unless you want to shield-hop like the XMen. Worse than useless, when I encounter unfortunate transitioning teams whose highest levelled 3* is Sentry. Patch, Hulk, Steve and Thor are all much more versatile when you have a limited roster.

Only for shield hopping? If you're not hopping, Sentry does a good job of chasing off anyone without a Hood. Sentry is still an excellent way of protecting points if your score is under 600 without spending HP

And i can imagine, that an LDaken max level might scare a lot of people below 600 points as well, by the latest if combined with some kind of meatshield. Or a nice, sweet Hulk with proper skilling...

Exactly. And when you don't have a deep roster to play with, it makes no sense to use him either in pvp or pve because he's going to break all your other toys too. Sentry is easily countered with juggs and obw, either as team members or tus.

Demiurge_Will wrote: There were other reasons why we pulled Bag-Man from packs (but left him in PvP rewards) - Peter Parker with a paper bag over his head is really fun to have in the game for someone like me, a Marvel fan who read and loved that story, but it feels un-Marvel-y if you run into him in that outfit as often as you run into Wolverine. Packs could comfortably hold 5-7 more 2*'s, in my opinion.
