With the Cosmic Contest contest upcoming, I thought it would be a fun thing to do to work through the brackets with my friends. However, I am the only one of my friends who listens to the Letters Page. So to get my friends up to speed I made a quick primer on every character in the Cosmic Contest. Then I thought, maybe someone else would get a kick out of this?  have no idea if this is actually the place to post this, or if anyone is actually interested in this, but I couldn’t see any harm in just posting it. 

A few clarifications. First, none of this was created by me. The story is from the Letters Page and the Sentinels wiki, then art is mostly from the card game, with one or two other pieces pulled off of google image search. Second, I definitely got some things wrong. A lot of this was working by memory or by my understanding which can totally be flawed. Third, a large percentage of the content is essentally speculation. It is mostly based on their story/mechanics but, especially in the Strengths and Weaknesses sections, I absolutely could have misread or misunderstood a ton of things. So feel free to ignore any part I got wrong. Finally, This is based on the Information I had as of episode 41 - Wager Master. Many characters have incomplete information because they haven't had an episode yet. On those characters I used a lot more guess work to fill in the gaps, so their information is even less reliable than the rest.

If anyone out there finds this useful or interesting despite all that, great!

First, I must be that guy, as all English Majors must be.

 

It is Sentinels, not Sentials.

 

Other than that, skimming through this it looks incredibly good. I do believe Omnitron-U no longer has any time powers, that was mostly just the one time, and that may confuse your friends because even minor time powers are pretty ridiculous in a fight.

 

Also, I am amused how many people have their weakness as some variation of "arrogant", they all fit of course, but wow, that is a common flaw in people with super-powers it seems. Kind of makes Legacy and HAka's humbleness stand out more.

 

Anyways, super cool and I my reference back to it in the future, even if only for that Stargent Seal picture...

I just wish we knew the rules for the Cosmic Contest. It's hard to speculate without knowing the circumstances in which the conflict happens. It's obviously not Blank White Room rules, or the tech bracket would be worthless. Are competitors compelled to fight their hardest, regardless of their previous relationships with whoever they're fighting?

 

This is a good summary, by the way. :)

Hate to be that guy, but I must, as all Communications majors must be.

It’s humility, not humbleness.
