this military scientist created the most
dangerous weapon the x-men have ever
faced
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
Bolivar Trask and the Sentinels I’ve
created a prototype design defend
mankind against the mutant threat my
guardian of the human race The Sentinel
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we’ve
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1965 uncanny x-men
number 14 to 16 which was expanded upon
in issues number 57 to 59 this
anthropologist and scientist first
appeared to cause trouble for the x-men
team during a period in which they
thought they had a chance to rest and
recuperate following their previous
battles against other mutants while the
team trained to get back to fighting
form Trask held a press conference in
which he revealed to the world that the
real terror isn’t the Cold War or atomic
bombs but mutants hiding and waiting for
their chance to enslave humanity with
the news circulating Xavier soon
realized that his greatest fear was
coming true that the government would
soon begin a witch-hunt for his kind to
tackle this man his head on Xavier
called the national television network
and demanded a television debate with
dr. Trask to debate his theories the
debate was held the following evening in
which Xavier tried to explain that just
because mutants are different it didn’t
mean they have diabolical intentions in
response Trask revealed that he had
created a robotic defense for mankind so
that the mutants could never take over
his army of sentinels at the same time
he concluded that Xavier must be a
mutant and commanded his sentinels to
take the professor into custody with
Xavier detained Trask informed the
public that his robot army would soon be
more than powerful enough to defeat any
mutant however without warning the
Sentinels rebelled and zapped Trask
as the situation took a turn for the
worst Xavier used his mental powers to
call his team for help
following the x-men’s arrival several
sentinels fled with Trask as their
prisoner as they required his assistance
to replicate themselves with the downing
of a sentinel left behind
Xavier used his powers to extract the
location of its factory from the inner
workings of its robotic brain back at
the factory
the Sentinels ordered Trask to create
their army stating that the only way to
protect mankind was to conquer it at the
same time the x-men arrived in a hidden
base which arose from underneath a hill
Wolverine we’ve got the phone
while two members of the x-men team were
quickly captured Trask pleaded with the
Sentinels to stop revealing that he
didn’t create them but only the master
mold taking him to assist the master
mold in creating more sentinels the
giant robots commanded Trask to serve
them to which he refused in turn he was
threatened with the destruction of half
of the united states thanks to Xavier as
mental powers he managed to knock out
the Sentinels manning the bases defenses
giving the rest of the team the chance
they needed to invade now a servant of
the master mold in order to save
humanity
Trask used his psycho probe to
interrogate the captured x-men member
beast to learn the location of their
base recognizing that his mutant
eradicating machines were just as
dangerous for humanity as the mutants he
feared Trask ended up sacrificing
himself by sabotaging the bases
equipment destroying it and leaving
himself buried in rubble by issue 57 it
was revealed that Trask’s precognitive
mutant son Larry had continued his work
believing that the x-men had murdered
his father it was even mentioned that
his father Bolivar had created a
medallion to shield his son’s mutant
genes from the Sentinels sensors in the
years that followed Bolivar Trask was
made into far less of a sympathetic
character and a primary villain of the
x-men in various animated series it
appears a mutant fight has just shifted
he was also finally given the
live-action treatment when he was
portrayed by Peter Dinklage good
afternoon everyone hello thank you for
coming with this weapon there will be no
human collateral damage in this film
Trask once again created the Sentinels
while experimenting on mutants and was
rewritten to have an instrumental role
in the eventual rise of the Sentinels
and the downfall of humanity are you a
