This news attracted so much attention. The members of HOMRA were very mysterious. Their leader, Red King, had only been seen in public the one time in New York while each of the Dukes moved around in mysterious and untraceable manners. This post showed that the group was finally going to have a public figure.
No one assumed that he would be an actual superhero though. With all the ways that HOMRA showed everyone they only did things for profit, no one would ever think that they would have a member of theirs save people for free.
But after he was first seen, many people were shocked. The first appearance of Sentry was in a battle against Kursk, an electric villain that was a rogue of Red Rush. Kursk was also mercenary for hire.
Kursk was attacking a research center and had managed to break through most of the defenses after killing dozens of guards. Just when he was about to reach the most protected lab, Kursk heard a voice from behind.
"Stop there, criminal scum!"
Kursk turned around and saw a young man in black and red staring down at him as he was floating in the air. Once the words registered, he chuckled at the young hero.
"Did you really say that, boy? You must be new to the hero game."
"I've always wanted to say that even if it sounds super corny. As for my experience, I have more than enough to deal with you," Sentry said without blinking his eyes
Before Kursk could move, Sentry moved faster than a speeding bullet before crashing into the villain and slamming him into the 8 inches of steel that acted as a door to the lab. Without being able to fight back, Kursk was knocked out in seconds.
After tying up the villain, Sentry left the research facility without another word. He didn't even leave his name for people. But when the security of the facility and police came by later, they checked the security footage. Although they could not tell his name, they saw the symbol on his chest. And one of the police officers recognized it from HOMRA's post.
Soon, news spread that HOMRA's hero had appeared. Although they did not know his name, they said that he was at least as strong and fast as the immortal. When many people said they did not believe them, the security footage was leaked. Then the entire world knew there was a new big hero in town.
Kursk was a villain that was a threat to even the Guardians of the Globe but HOMRA's hero was able to defeat him with ease. Everyone wanted to know more about him so they flooded HOMRA's Twitter and Instagram but the only response they got was his name: Sentry
But the one thing everyone agreed on, he was strong. And his strength brought a sense of security. Once they found out the security facility wasn't even one of the properties HOMRA protected, even more people started to look forward to his actions. They all wanted to see what this new hero would do.
The next time Sentry was seen was also on short videos. This time, he was in some small country in Asia. It was taken from several phones at different angles and not all recorded at the same time but one could understand the situation after watching a few of them.
Several men were going to be executed by a firing squad in the middle of a city square when Sentry flew in. He blocked all of the bullets before disarming the executioners.
"This is our nation's matter. These men are being executed by our laws. If you interfere any further, we will consider this an act of war," the officer in charge tried to reprimand Sentry, but he was ignored
Sentry stripped all the other nearby soldiers of their weapons before handing them over to the citizens of the city. He did not say anything before flying away.
This was their nation's matter but more importantly, Conner did not believe in saving people that did not want to be helped. By giving the weapons to the citizens, he gave them a choice. They could choose to hand the weapons back over and hope for mercy or use them to fight back. Whatever they chose, it was up to them. Sentry was just there to give them the choice.
Even more, rumors started spreading about the new hero online from the short videos that there were of him.
He was corny
Too violent
Too soft handed
Handsome
Ugly
Inexperienced
Cocky
Many people even started comparing him to the other up-and-coming hero, Invincible. From the short video, they started comparing the two newest, big heroes. One was the son of Omni-Man while the other was the only sponsored hero of the major company HOMRA.
When Conner saw the news online, he found it funny. Who knew that they would make comparisons between him and his brother just cause they were both some of the newer heroes. But his day was not over yet.
Even if he was doing great, tragic news soon surfaced. The Guardians of the Globe had been killed. Soon, all eyes turned to HOMRA once again but this time with fear and worry.
The company had just made a post about their hero would show up when the world would need him. The fact that the Guardians died the same day was very concerning. It was too much of a coincidence.
Many even questioned HOMRA about it but the company refused to respond. They did not admit they had killed the Guardians nor did they deny it. All their pages did was sit in silence.
Whether it was civilians or politicians, heroes or villains, everyone had their eyes on HOMRA now. They were all waiting to see what would happen next. Most were sure that this was just the calm before the storm.
