Sentry is the codename of several unrelated fictional characters appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The first Marvel Comics character to use the name was Sentry 459, a large android placed on Earth by the alien race the Kree, later discovered by the Fantastic Four. Other models of the Sentry robot later appeared in issues of various comics series.
Curtis Elkins was a Guardsman at the Vault, a prison for super powered criminals. While there Curtis befriended Hugh Taylor, a new Guardsman fresh out of the Army. Curtis left the Vault sometime after Hugh was murdered by Venom during an escape.
After that, Curtis and a few of his fellow Guardsmen joined The Jury, an agency organized by General Orwell Taylor. Their purpose was to track down and destroy Venom. To that end many of them were armed with sonic and fire generating weapons to which the alien symbiote was vulnerable. After the death of Orwell, the firm was reformed by his older son Maxwell to fit the principles of civil rights and the legal court system. It was in fact a change done in accordance with Curtis' personal ideology of law and order. At a final fight with Hybrid, he was seriously injured, not only by physical damage, but also by mental contact with the symbiotes.
Almost all of his later team members were his colleagues from the Vault, either those involved in the riot, or those involved in the Guardsmen at other times. They include Screech (Maxwell Taylor), Ramshot (Samuel Caulkin), Bomblast (first name unknown, last name Parmenter), Firearm (unknown) and Wysper (Jennifer Stewart).
