Sam Manekshaw – AKA Sam Bahadur (“Sam the Brave”) – lived through some extraordinary periods of change.

In fact, the royal family should be relieved and even celebrate that “The Crown” presents Charles as a caring father to his two sons, as well as a friendly ex-husband to Diana and…

Rarely has he met a foe in the DC Universe who matches what he's capable of doing as a hero, as he's shown time and time again why he ranks in his own league. Unfortunately for Superman, Sentry's powers eclipse his handily. Thanks to drinking an experimental super soldier serum, Sentry has…
