Attack Potency: Varies (due to his powers relying on his mental condition) from Below Average Human level to Athlete level physically (Sometimes he is an extremely weak man, but other times he is comparable to an average man), up to High Hyperverse level with avatars (Can summon Sentry and Void at any time, and can even "control"/"use" them mentally[58]) | Varies from Large Country level (Consistently is portrayed as one of, if not the strongest hero in the Marvel Universe, although he constantly holds back in fear of his own power, even going as far as to forcibly lock himself inside his home even when World War Hulk was threatening Earth. Still is shown as far stronger than high-tier Street level characters such as Spider-Man. Ripped Carnage in half. Stronger than Ms. Marvel and Joe Fixit, who he harmed even with non-lethal intent) to Hyperverse level (Is described as a "nuclear danger" that is too powerful to exist, making him stronger than most other Herald level characters. Pierced the armor of a dead Celestial[59], and such armors are capable of emerging unscathed from galactic explosions that by presentation, wiped out the Universe. Stalemated World War Hulk despite his mental state at that time.[60] Easily overpowered Terrax[61]. Capable of destroying a universe and more, according to Paul Jenkins, and universes in Marvel contain a seemingly endless number of dimensions, each of which are already comprised of realities that have many higher-dimensional spaces of their own), Outerverse level via hax (Defeated a Post-Retcon Molecule Man, who is said to hold unimaginable power even in relation to beings such as Kubik, placing him above Skyfather and Celestial level beings, and could cause a trans-Multiversal quake, the Marvel Multiverse is on this scale. Stated to potentially overshadow House of M Scarlet Witch with his powers), High Hyperverse level at peak (Contained the energies of a Cosmic Cube. Cosmic Cubes are capable of creating sentient forms such as Kubik, who's battles shred the fabric of existence across infinite realities. Comparable to Thor[62], if not superior), Outerverse level via hax (Defeated a Post-Retcon Molecule Man, who is said to hold unimaginable power even in relation to beings such as Kubik, placing him above Skyfather and Celestial level beings, and could cause a trans-Multiversal quake, the Marvel Multiverse is on this scale. Stated to potentially overshadow House of M Scarlet Witch with his powers) | Varies up to Hyperverse level (Comparable to his Sentry form. Easily overpowered the original Avengers,[63] including Thor. Broke every bone in the Hulk's body[64]), Outerverse level via hax (Stronger than before. His power is feared by that of Doctor Strange) | Varies up to Hyperverse level (Easily overpowered his former sidekick, who was matching him in power in his Sentry form[65][66]).

Speed: Unknown | Immeasurable (Scaling from Thor and has reacted to his Mjolnir throws), Irrelevant via hax | Immeasurable (Same as before), Irrelevant via hax | Immeasurable (Faster than before), Irrelevant via hax
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Up to Immeasurable (Scaling from World War Hulk) | Up to Immeasurable (Comparable to his previous state. Easily restrained Thor, Hulk, and other Avengers in his early days[63]) | Up to Immeasurable (Far stronger than before)
Striking Strength: Varies. Average Human Class | Varies from Large Country Class to Hyperversal when holding back, High Hyperversal at peak, Outerversal via hax | Varies up to High Hyperversal | Varies up to High Hyperversal
Durability: Unknown | Varies from Large Country level (Comparable to Ms. Marvel and Grey Hulk) to Hyperverse level (Can trade blows with Thor and other herald level beings very consistently) when holding back, High Hyperverse level at full power (Can survive hits from World War Hulk), Outerverse level via hax (Can regenerate from a single atom, and can fight evenly against Molecule Man. Broke free of Doctor Strange's mystical illusions, which are used against cosmic entities) | Varies up to High Hyperverse level (Can survive hits from Thor, Hulk, and other Avengers), Outerverse level via hax (Same as before) | Varies up to High Hyperverse level (Survived hits from King Thor). Outerverse level via hax (Superior to before)
Stamina: Average | Infinite. Never seems to run out of energy or get tired. Multiple sources has stated that he has limitless energies, and can absorb extra energies from his surroundings if he ever needs it. | Same as before. | Same as before.
Range: Standard melee range, higher with avatars, reality warping, and psychic abilities. | Standard melee range, up to at least multi-planetary with energy attacks | Standard melee range, up to several hundreds of kilometers with body control, at least multi-planetary range with energy attacks. | Standard melee range, up to at least multi-planetary with energy attacks.
Standard Equipment: CLOC sentient computer system that feeds him information from all over the world and prioritizes what emergencies he should handle
Intelligence: Average. Robert Reynolds' mind is broken into many pieces. He has all the power, and potentially the intelligence, however, he doesn't even know he is smart, so he doesn't use his intelligence. | Extraordinary Genius. Considered an equal to a very early Reed Richards by various people, and one of the smartest people on the planet. Alongside Reed, he built his Watchtower, which is a technologically advanced lair of the Sentry which has weapons that are capable for harming him. In addition, he also created CLOC, who can monitor the entire world and predict what will happen next. CLOC helps Sentry save the world. | Extraordinary Genius. Void is an equal of the Sentry in every possible way. In addition, he also developed a counter version of CLOC, called COLC, as well as a twisted version of the Watchtower, and powerful drones which were capable of harming the Sentry. | Extraordinary Genius. Smarter than before.
Weaknesses: Limited hand-to-hand combat skills. He is mentally unstable and a relapsing drug addict. Lack of control. | Same as before plus Sentry becomes weaker if his mental state wavers/loses confidence but the Void grows in power. He is prone to be manipulated by cunning individuals (like hacking CLOC to overwhelm and deceive him with false disaster information, which distressed him into inaction for hours) When exposed to Anti-Matter/Negative Zone energies, such as Anti-Man and Blue Marvel, it depowers the Sentry, but not the Void persona. Depending on which personality is favored by Robert Reynolds, that personality will gain more power. However, he loses these weaknesses in stable form. | Mentally and emotionally unstable like his other personalities. Depending on which personality is favored by Robert Reynolds, that personality will gain more power and some times, the Void loses due to Robert preferring his other - perfect - form. However, he loses these weaknesses in stable form. | Spiritual energy based attacks, such as Chi, have been shown to be capable of injuring him especially when inflicted by someone powerful.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
- The Void: A cosmic monster created by Robert Reynolds with his molecular powers after he drank the Sentry serum, to embody the negative parts of him that he can't control and were accentuated by the serum. In the past he materialized on his own as a separate entity that balanced the Sentry's heroics with evil, or was directly created when Reynolds believed him to be around. He lost power and faded when Reynolds willed it after achieving mental stability and dominion of himself or when Sentry mindwiped himself and everybody else after the Void was becoming too independent and powerful, also being defeated by Sentry when their balance was broken (after the Void killed more people than the Sentry saved). But the Void always returned on his own as long as Sentry existed, in fact every seen incarnation of the character has displayed varying degrees of the Void in order to be able to act against his enemies even when performing heroics. During the events of Secret Invasion the Sentry and the Void personas merged again, with the Void starting to assert dominance throughout the events of Dark Reign (especially manifesting after Sentry suffered mental trauma or severe physical damage), culminating with the Void getting released during the events of Siege. It was also been speculated that the Void and the Sentry's power source is the Judeo-Christian God, or that Robert Reynolds became empowered by a similar force.
- Infinitendrils: Black tendrils he can sprout from his body or from dark clouds he creates with his molecular powers. They can attack physically, make stuff explode on contact or phase into people to take control of their minds, inflict traumatic visions of their past, present and future or eat their souls.
Keys: Robert Reynolds | Sentry | Void | Merged Form
Note:
- Robert can increase and decrease the power of either of his other selves when he wishes to. For example, here in Sentry/Void #1, the Void persona got a sudden a boost in power. Later in Dark Avengers #13, his Sentry persona wants to kill himself, so he becomes weak enough to be burned off by the sun, but then he comes back relatively easily when Void convinces him otherwise. In the next page - first panel, we see him next to the sun with minimal damage. The Void isn't in control here, he takes control after he convinces Sentry to let him come out and he goes into hiding (inside his mind) for a while. In Sentry 2018 #3, Scout, Sentry's former sidekick gives us more details about how their powers work. Sentry's emotions and will plays a major role in which one becomes the stronger entity.
- Regarding their powers and abilities;
- Sentry and Void can use each others powers and abilities, but chooses not to because of the different set of beliefs they have.
- Robert is the main source of Sentry and Void's power - in other words, he has all the powers, and as such, he can do everything the others can, perhaps even to a greater degree. However, due to his mental problems, he does not know he can do all of these things, which is why he employs his manifestations/avatars to do his bidding.
