Spoilers for "Thunderbolts*" follow.

"Superman" — directed by James Gunn, and starring David Corenswet as the big blue boy scout — is soaring into theaters this July. Hopefully, its impact will be big enough to push the new DC Universe on film forward.

But before Superman returns to the silver screen, Marvel has debuted its own Superman-analog for the big screen. "Thunderbolts*", which is one of the better and most emotional Marvel Studios movies in recent years, introduces Bob Reynolds (Lewis Pullman) aka The Sentry. CIA Director and Sentry's creator Valentina "Val" Allegra De Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) brands him Earth's Mightiest Hero, because the Sentry is meant to be worth all six of the Avengers in one. The Sentry may indeed be as powerful as the Man of Steel, but if these two caped heroes ever fought, who would prevail?

Now, there's no actual answer. Spoiler alert: Superman and the Sentry aren't real.
