Jack Kirby cvr/art; 1st app of Sentinels; 1st app of Dr. Bolivar Trask; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)X-Men #14 showed that the Marvel comic was still introducing legendary characters in the Silver Age—with the first appearance of both Dr. Bolivar Trask and his mutant-slaying robot army called the Sentinels. This timeless issue is mainly notable for Stan Lee and Jack Kirby adding a new dimension to the book's treatment of the X-Men as a persecuted race, with Trask funding the Sentinels by proclaiming mutants to be a threat to national security. These characters would all be major players in the X-Men's acclaimed big-screen franchise. Now, with Marvel Studios set to revive the teen mutant team, anticipation runs high for the Sentinels return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
