They possess vast physical strength, and their bodies are highly resistant to damage. They are armed (primarily with energy weapons and restraining devices), capable of flight, and can detect mutants at long range. Sentinels are technologically advanced, and have exhibited a wide variety of abilities. While many are capable of tactical thought, only a handful are self-aware. During the assault on X-Factor, Trask wrested control of himself from Bastion, and after ordering the end of the assault on X-Factor, committed suicide.This section needs expansion. Recently, in X-Force, Bastion who has been reactivated by the Purifiers has apparently resurrected Bolivar Trask through use of a Technarch to be part of a team of the world's foremost mutant killers. However, once Nova is done copying all of Donald's DNA, she kills him and takes over the robots. The machines, now varying in size, will not harm Trask DNA. Later, a relative of Bolivar, Donald Trask, would be recruited by the villain Cassandra Nova to gain control of a group of Sentinels. He helps the X-Men defeat the Sentinels by sacrificing himself to destroy the Sentinels' base.īolivar's death would not be the end of the Sentinels, though, as Master Mold would return and Bolivar's son, Larry, still unaware of his own mutant status, would follow in his father's footsteps and create new Sentinels to avenge his father. Trask discovers that the X-Men were mutants protecting humanity and realizes that he had been wrong. To reveal the X-Men's secrets, the Sentinels tell Trask to use a device to read Beast's mind. The X-Men fight the Sentinels, but Beast is captured.
To stop the Sentinels, Xavier summons his X-Men. The Sentinels left with Trask and brought him to his first creation, the Master Mold, who orders him to construct more Sentinels. Trask was not a very skilled programmer, though, and the Sentinels turn against him, claiming that they were superior to humans. Trask and his scientists had apparently created an adaptive, open-ended tactical/strategic programming. Xavier's arguments that mutants were just like humans and not evil did not convince Trask and he reveals the Sentinels. Professor Charles Xavier invites Trask for a public debate on human/mutant relations. This illustration would become a symbol for human/mutant relations and several years later, Quentin Quire and his Omega Gang would base their appearance on this picture. One of these articles showed an illustration of mutant overlords keeping humans as slaves. Bolivar publishes articles on the threat of mutants. His son Larry was protected from the Sentinels' ability to detect the mutant X-gene due to the medallion Bolivar had given him. This mysterious situation would only further cement his attitudes toward mutants.īolivar decides that humanity has to fight back against the mutants and develops robotic guardians for humanity, known as the Sentinels. Tanya's travels through time would result in property damage to Trask's land. Tanya would be rescued by Rachel Summers in a far future and would become a part of the Askani under the alias Madame Sanctity. Bolivar's other child, Tanya, was also a mutant and her ability to travel through time causes her to vanish. Bolivar had realized this, and gave his son a medallion which suppresses his power.
Bolivar was also the father of Larry Trask, who, ironically, is revealed to be a mutant with precognitive powers. Bolivar Trask was an anthropologist who saw the rise of mutants as a threat to humanity.
