The Alpha Sentinel, Master Mold, attempted to force Trask to construct
more of its kind, so as to facilitate the androids' conquest of the human
race. Training a thought-reading probe on the ape-like X-Man called the
Beast, Trask realized that not all mutants would inevitably use their powers
to subjugate humanity. Finally grasping the magnitude of the evil he had PERSONALITY

to halt human evolution was to destroy the sun, the source of most muta-

HISTORY CONTINUED
Lang was placed in charge of a federal investigation into the origin of ge-
netic mutation. Unknown to his employers, Lang's objectivity was skewed by
a fanatical, irrational distrust of mutants. He used his position to acquire
Trask's designs and notes, then sought financial backing from the Hellfire
Club, an elite social organization of the world's wealthiest and most power-
ful figures. In pursuit of its goal of world domination, the Hellfire Club
provided Lang with funds to construct new Sentinels and an orbital space
station -- not knowing that he intended to terminate every mutant ab-
ducted. Unfortunately for Lang, his first captives were the X-Men. The
heroes escaped their bonds, and destroyed Lang's Sentinels and space
station. After the terrorist organization called the Brotherhood of Evil
Mutants attempted to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly, the president
inaugurated the secret and illegal operation known as Project Wideawake to
apprehend and detain genetically empowered individuals. The government
contracted Shaw Industries to construct Sentinels in secret -- unaware
that the company's owner, Sebastian Shaw, was himself a mutant. Without
the government's knowledge, Shaw used the Sentinels to attack the X-Men
in his role as leader of the Hellfire Club. The next Sentinel threat would
originate in an alternate future where the mutant-hunting robots reigned
supreme. Nimrod, a state-of-the-science Sentinel, traveled back in time --
emerging in the present to hunt mutants as he had in the future. The X- DEVICES
Men neutralized Nimrod, but his technology merged with that of Master
Mold. The amalgamated android battled the X-Men, who were able to de-
feat the robot only by forcing it through the dimensional portal called the
Siege Perilous. The magic of the Siege Perilous would allow any entity that
passed through it to be reborn as a new being. Nimrod returned in humanoid
form as Bastion and began to integrate Sentinel technology into unsuspect-
ing humans. These sleeper agents were unaware of their programming,
awakened only by mutant activity. Privately re-establishing the Sentinel
program, Bastion received government sanction to commence Operation:
Zero Tolerance. Commanding a hidden army of Sentinels, he ransacked and
razed the X-Men's mansion, downloading Xavier's extensive computer files
on mutants around the world. Bastion used this information to systemati-
cally attack and capture the X-Men and their associates. The android ulti-
mately was destroyed, but the X-Men found it difficult to locate and deac-
tivate all the humans he had transformed. The mutant heroes could not
attack these cyborg Sentinels in wanton fashion, as they were victimized
humans -- a weakness on which Bastion likely had counted. The latest mu-
tant-hunting androids, the product of a shadow-ops program, assimilate
automobile and aircraft components, machine parts, and building materials
to keep pace with genetic mutation. As humankind inches toward extinction,
the Sentinels gather in secret enclaves throughout the world -- waiting to
pounce on an unsuspecting mutant population.
