Story [MARVEL POEM] Taking Flight – Sun Power! SENTRY’S MIGHT!

Have a 'TASTE' of SUN POWER ... ENTER THE SENTRY ROBERT REYNOLDS!

From 1947…The Birth of the Super-Soldier…

In the Form of the Serum … a Power Beyond Measure,
Burdened and Trapped within my Powers,
Yet I be uncertain of my potential Hour by the Hour,
A Super-Serum … The Void Attempts to Seduce My Mind,
Yet my Conscience and Struggles keep the Dark Entity in Strife in Kind,
The Power … the Addiction,
The Madness! The Sensation…
What Control?
The School of Darkness he had Enrolled?
Hero or Demon?
Guardian or The Void?
Who Am I?
I Wonder…I Struggle…I Ponder…

The Golden Guardian of Good,
Omega-Level Threat,
Class Level of 100,
Former Addict,
Long-Time Vigilante,
Ally of Defenders,
Associate of Avengers,
Watching over Protectors,
Granted with Agility
An Attractive Male,
The Berserker Strength rivalling Thor and Hulk!
Incredible Blasting Powers
The Manipulation of the Darkest Forces,
Controlling Density and Earth …
Yet I am Capable of Emotional Empathy…
The Absorption of a Range of Energy … Modern and Cosmic!
Shielded by Energy yet striking with Energy!
The Power of Flight!
Force Shields of Force Fields!
Genes in my Pool Healed and Manipulating!
You may think I be Superman – armed with Vision of the Heat!
Yet Long-Lived yet Immortal beyond the longest spans of Mortals!
The Scholarly Intellect of my former soul Robert,
Invulnerable Beyond Any Physical Measure!
The Guardian and Projector of the Light! The Radiant Savior! The Radiant Host!
Yet Invisibility and Phasing … I might as well be a Ghost!
Raging Psionics and Reality’s Manipulation!
Shifting Size Big and Small,
I could be Tiny yet I could Stand Tall!
Shapes … be it the humble Mouse to the Giant of the Cosmos!
Endowed with Super-Strength and Stamina… my Hearing and Sight and Smell Senses beyond the Finest!
Augmented by Powerful Telekinesis!
A Natural Telepathy as be how I could easily Teleport!
Manipulating Time and Travelling Unknown Portals
I could Travel Back And Forth into Time,
Master of Unarmed Combat … and the Weather … I could make Storms and Winds a mere Blur…

For too long have I forsaken my Former Name,
Is this playing worth Forgetful Games?
Yet the Void’s Rampage … Bathed Me in Shame…
I seek and care not for any Fame…
Addicted to Drugs and sickened and weakened in my mind,
Lacking Dreamful sleeps,
Filled with Misery…
With sweat and fear… cold feet,
My hands always shaking … is something in me Awakening?
The Words and Numbers in my mind … they are but a mystery to me…
Trouble to Decipher and to Read
My Heart and My Mind and my Soul…but the Light Cleansed again…. Lest I be drained…
I Fear some of my Dreams,
Yet I slept only when Awakened,
For otherwise the Void shall take and claim me and render me Forsakened!
Be I a Mortal to a Superhero?
Never Sleeping, Never Eating, Never Drinking, Never Dreaming…
Only Fighting and Protecting…
Forever more and then…burdened with Powers and the Might from the Serum,
This is now my Soul and Life … Bound to the Light … yet this was not Myself …

Once a Mortal named Robert… by the name of Reynolds …
Yet now … he has become an Angel … an Avatar of Death…
The Beast of the Void and Shadow,
The Void,
Bob Renolds,
Gold Guardian,
Golden One,
John Victor Williams,
The Boy of Marvel,
The Monster of the Antithesis…
Yet of the Death itself …
The Drug! What has it done to Me? In the Mirror – who is this Man in the Mirror?
Is he a Saint or a Monster?
I am no longer myself … yet now I see what be Right … or what be Wrong…
The Essence of the Golden Light!
Alas it shall Strike! I shal Unleash … the Power of the Sun’s Might! In any Fight!

The Taste of Drugs and Chemical Wonders …
My Pulse was but Heavy yet Faint,
My Mind is Fragmented … like a Jig-Saw,
Yet all these Puzzles … I can never truly piece them All,
For my Memories are not but like the Season of Fall,
Yet Endowed with the Serum’s Power … I have strength beyond a Wall,
I will never Truly Fall,
This must have been an Illusion – A Fantasy! A Mere Dream!
Yet this was a Reality – now a Life as Two in Reality…
For now then Two Spirits in One Physical World … yet they be always Fighting … in Me …Always Bickering…

Now I can see Seconds Pulse and Clarify with Gravity,
My Wealth of Emotions … now but taken … by the Dark Side Void,
Emotions are now but Gone within Me…
Yet who was I? I am no longer the Man once of my Name…
I fought and travelled Earth and to the edges of the Comos,
To the Wilderness of the Astral Plane and Negative Zones,
Driven Mad … Alas! The Power was but Ecstatic!

Stalemating The Big-G, Galactus – Devourer of Worlds!
Airlifting SHIELD’S Helicarrier,
Bisecting the Carnage of Carnage,
Shattering the Axe of Terrax,
Unleashing Power beyond Absorbing Man’s Limits,
Defeating Mr. Molecules,
Stalemating Banner,
And even reducing my Inner Void … to Complete and Utter … Submission…

Speeds to the Sun! above Supersonic!
Perhaps speeds to Planets and ‘Verses even Beyond the Hypersonic!
Beyond Lightspeed!
Bending Space and Time…you’d be Mentally Challenged … to try to gauge my Velocity!
From Continent to Sea … Skies to Earth … I can scan and track you with my mere Eye,
From another World … I could sense your Heartbeat,
Beware … for the Sentry his Here!
I smell your Fear…

Far from Vulnerable,
Impervious to Harm…you just can’t Hurt Me … let alone Kill Me!
Be it Bombs, Missiles or Chemicals...up to the Level of Cosmic Nukes!
Yet the Power of the Millions of Suns … even enough to calm Banner down …
A Living Battery of Solar Power every second I’d Run!
Yet when in Distress … I could invoke the Power … to Resurrect…
Yet for my Powers Great,
I am burdened and enslaved to my Mind,
Struggling with the Void … for control of my Powers and my Might…to grasp to the Light!
Yet do not give up Hope!
For I still watch and guide You as a Guardian … I Stand Alone Night and Day!

Is there but this Creature … this Despicable Monster … the Void…
He Resides Within Me,
Always Seeking … Always Wrecking…Always Destroying … Alas! He Seeks to be but Free…
Yet so long as I hold on to the Light … the Void will not and shall not be Freed!
Yet this Monster and yet this Ray of Hope … of Redemption whom lives in Me,
Yet I am Chained and Bound to my Duty,
For the Void tries great lengths to break Free,
Yet for I know … this is simply not Me…

For when Time to “PLAY THE HERO!”
Or once no longer Sane,
Yet Unleashed,
I Risk the Void,
This Dark Monster,
And this Void … this Demon … All my Good … is his Bad…
All his Good … is my Bad…
For his one Purpose … was to Kill …

Yet the Great bright Essence of the Light…
I shall Conquer the Void,
Protect the Light,
Yet the Light now Enveloped my Vision,
I be prepared … to Unleash my Might!
Ready to Fight!
You better believe It!
Yet my Life be my Vices…
My Vices … governed by Devices…
But more importantly …
In the End…there is no True Void,
For who am I?… Alas! I am the SENTRY! I UNLEASH – THE POWER … OF THE MILLION SUNS! I AM THE LEGACY OF THE SUN... THE MASTER OF THE VOID … I AM SENTRY … THE SON OF THE SUNS!

 

Is there but this Creature … this Despicable Monster … the Void…
He Resides Within Me,
Always Seeking … Always Wrecking…Always Destroying … Alas! He Seeks to be but Free…
Yet so long as I hold on to the Light … the Void will not and shall not be Freed!

Very haunting! I feel bad for him, having to constantly struggle.
