Next Generation of X-Men’s Sentinels Revealed in Official Marvel First Look

The X-Men live in a world that hates and fears them… and there is no better example of the tragic mutant experience than the monstrous Sentinels. For years now, various Sentinel programs have created increasingly more deadly machines programmed to hunt and kill mutants, and Marvel has just teased the newest generation of these murder-machines.

The X-Men’s brutal Fall of X was orchestrated by two evolved Sentinels – Nimrod and Omega Sentinel – and also involved the nigh-indestructible “Stark Sentinels,” crafted by the villainous Feilong using Iron Man technology.

Marvel’s press release for the upcoming X-Men series, whose title and creative team will soon be announced, teases four brand-new characters to the Marvel Universe. The new characters, who might be the newest forms of the human/machine Omega Sentinel hybrids, are Drumfire, Lockstep, Sawtooth, and Voirod, and are all connected to various Marvel tragedies.

Someone has decided that all heroes are a threat to humanity

The characters involved in the “New Sentinel Program” are all somehow connected to King in Black, Onslaught, Death of Doctor Strange, Secret Empire, and World War Hulk, tragic events connected to superheroes that caused devastation to humanity. This teaser hints that the expanded Sentinel Program, which is apparently being developed at “Graymalkin Prison” – the recently converted Xavier Mansion – might mean that the newest Sentinels will be programmed to hunt down anyone with powers. These major Marvel events involved Charles Xavier, Venom, Doctor Strange, Captain America, and the Hulk, and during the Fall of X Orchis made it very clear that after mutantkind was taken care of, they would begin to target all super beings.

This is a developing story, check back tomorrow for more details!

This new series is set to debut in October, 2024.
