Sentinel Comics Trading Card Power Ratings

The other day, I was rummaging around in my attic, and I found my old collection of Sentinel Comics Trading Cards from the ‘90s! So I thought I’d post them here for all of you.

Okay, so that didn’t actually happen. Sentinel Comics never made trading cards in the ‘90s. However, a lesser-know comics company did actually make a series of trading cards. And on the backs of those cards were Power Ratings: numerical rankings of characters’ powers, skills, and abilities.

So, I thought that it would be fun to make Power Ratings for the Sentinel Comics characters.

Here’s how the system works. There are six attributes: Fighting Ability, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Durability, and Energy Projection. Every character’s attributes are ranked on a scale from 1 (below average) to 7 (godlike). In most cases, 2 is the human average.

And here are my ratings for all of the Sentinel Comics heroes: Sentinel Comics Trading Cards - Google Sheets

I may get around to the villains in the future; time will tell.

Of course, we all know that trying to quantify and rank the superpowers of comic characters is a fool’s errand. The powers and abilities of such characters fluctuate wildly from issue to issue. Nonetheless, I did this just for fun, so here I am.

Well, what do you think? Did I get the rankings right? Am I way off? Should Character X actually be stronger than Character Y? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Let the discussions and debates begin!

First issue is Benchmark and the Sentinels were not around in the 90’s…

I would also rate Wraith as higher than 5 for fighting ability.

Argh! Curse you, Godai! Well, everything happened in the ’90s.

But 6 is “Master of several fighting styles” and 7 is “Master of all fighting styles.” If my memory serves me, there is only one card in The Wraith’s deck that is actually based on her fighting ability: Combat Stance. The rest of her stuff is just tech. Also, C&A have never really confirmed how many, if any, fighting styles The Wraith has mastered. The same goes for Mister Fixer. I gave him Fighting Ability 6, because he’s definitely not a 7. And I gave The Wraith a 5, because I think she should be lower than him.
