In Episode #218 of The Letters Page: La Capitan and the Sliver of Creation, C&A said that there are basically four kinds of superpowers in the Sentinel Comics Multiverse: Science, Magic, Cosmic, and Temporal. This intrigued me. So, I decided to sort the Heroes and Villains of Sentinel Comics into those categories. I also added a fifth category: Martial.
Descriptions of the Powers:
- Science — These characters gain their abilities by wielding technological devices, or by being physically altered by science.
- Magic — These characters gain their abilities by being either a magical creature possessing supernatural powers (wether innate or acquired), or a magic-user who draws energy from some mystical realm, entity, or artefact.
- Cosmic — These characters draw energy from Singular Entities, cosmic relics, or existence itself.
- Temporal — These characters gain power from the branching timelines and realities of the Multiverse.
- Martial — These characters possess no abilities beyond what their species is naturally gifted with.

I’ve put all the characters in only one category each, but I do acknowledge that many characters could fit in multiple categories. (For example, Chrono-Ranger could be considered Science, Temporal, and Martial.) I did this mainly for simplicity.
