The Sentinels are large sophisticated robots created by the
brilliant scientist Bolivar Trask. Trask, a notorious mutant hater,
programmed the Sentinels to find and destroy mutants, hoping to make the
world safer for "normal" humans. Trask died soon after their creation, but
he created a Master Mold that would continue to churn out the deadly
automatons. Sentinels possess vast weaponry, have the ability to fly and
are capable of lifting several tons. Continuing their master's evil mission
even after his death, the Sentinels have been reprogrammed several times by
many individuals, including Onslaught. It is
clear that as long as someone hates mutants, they will not hesitate to use
the Sentinels against them.
