The Kree Sentries first appeared in Fantastic Four #64 (July 1967) and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

The Sentries' main purpose is to guard military outposts and depots throughout the Kree empire. Sentry-459 accompanies a Kree scientific party that journeys to Earth to experiment on sub-humans, which in turn creates the Inhumans. When the Kree leave Earth, Sentry-459 remains to monitor Inhuman progress. Sentry-459 remains inert but observing until it is activated by the Fantastic Four, who fight it to a standstill. Considering itself defeated when the Fantastic Four escape, the Sentry sends a signal to the Kree before deactivating.^[1][2]

The Sentry is then transported by the U.S. Army to Cape Canaveral, where Kree colonel Yon-Rogg reactivates it in an attempt to kill Mar-Vell, one of his subordinates. However, Mar-Vell manages to defeat it.^[3][4][5][6]

Ronan the Accuser later reactivates the Sentry and uses it in an attempt to reverse the course of evolution on Earth, but it is once again defeated by Mar-Vell.^[7] The Kree agents attempt to retrieve the Sentry, but are driven off by S.H.I.E.L.D. The Sentry is later activated by the Super-Adaptoid and joins his team Heavy Metal in a bid to destroy the Avengers.^[8] It returns in the Blackwulf series and joins the Underground Legion, but is eventually destroyed.^{[9][10][11][12]}

Another Sentry - designated 9168 - is encountered by the Fantastic Four on the Moon. This Sentry is smaller than traditional Sentries, being about the size of a human, and is programmed to prevent space travelers from finding the remains of a hidden Kree city on the Moon. The Fantastic Four battle and destroy the Sentry via a remote destruct mechanism.^[13]

This 30-foot (9.1 m) tall Sentry was stationed in an unmanned supply depot/surveillance post on the planet Uranus. It was destroyed by a group of Eternals led by Uranos, sparking a war with the Kree.^[14]

This Sentry only appears once, and battles several members of the Imperial Guard before being damaged by the West Coast Avengers. The Sentry then self-destructs and destroys the outpost it was guarding.^[15]

This version aided the Kree when their "Lunatic Legion" attacked Earth. It was defeated by Iron Man.^[16]
