Who Is Marvel’s New Sentry? Their Super Powers & Very Different Name Explained
In “Sentry” #4, Mallory Gibbs confronts Ryan Topper alongside Jessica Jones in an attempt to learn what happened to the other people who have received Sentry’s powers. After learning Topper killed them all, a massive battle occurs across the skies, with the two exchanging powerful blows. Using her abilities, Mallory reaches inside Topper’s mind and pulls out the souls of the Sentries he’s killed. Together, they take Topper down and regain the power he stole from them. When the dust settles, Mallory obtains the powers of each of the dead heroes as they fade away, while Topper is taken to jail.
Mallory immediately turns herself in and is given a power-inhibitor collar. However, she’s not arrested but instead taken to the Aberrant Crimes Division, where Misty Knight says she knows what it’s like to have a disability as a superhero as she shows off her bionic arm and offers to train Mallory.
Realizing she needs to forge her own path, one different than Sentry’s, she breaks off her inhibitors and, as her new and still undefined powers can be seen emerging once again, tells Knight to call her Solarus. The name fits the hero, considering the original Sentry’s powers of a million exploding suns, and perfectly encapsulates who Mallory has become.
