I saw and quite enjoyed the new Superman movie. I liked how it truly embraced it's comic book roots, it felt like reading a Silver or Bronze age issue. I wasn't crazy about the major change to Superman's Kryptonian origin, though. Mr. Terrific was definitely a standout. Edi Gathegi's performance was great and his actions scenes were a blast to watch. Definite spinoff material there!

He's not a mutant sentinel shouldn't attack him
Also, his one innate power is invisibility to machines: even Brother Eye couldn't detect him, so I'd be EXTREMELY surprised if a Sentinel could do so...
@Ross: I echo your sentiments regarding the needless retro-vilification of Superman's bio-parents. That, along with several other, more minor disappointments, made me feel obligated to give it no higher than five out of ten stars. Almost making me wish I could imitate Edi Gathegi's ability to NOT feel emotions!
@Anon623: well, then, maybe it's a mutant sentinel (a la Neo-Sentinel Number Two from Avengers v.1/#104).
Then, on second thought, maybe it's Tanya "Madame Sanctity" Trask! The Askani-raised mutant daughter of Dr. Bolivar Trask. She can teleport through time; generate super-realistic illusions (a la Mastermind) so as to resemble anybody else; and telepathically sense other mutants.*
*And Michael Holt's ability to be literally undetectable by any kind of (presumably even Cerebro) would definitely qualify as a mutant power in the mainstream Marvel multiverse.
P.S.---did I also mention she can telepathically induce amnesia? Why else would I forget to write "...any kind of machine..."?
There's a fan theory floating around that the adult Madame Sanctity is actually a clone of Tanya Trask. Similar to Stryfe being a clone of Cable!
Maybe that file was deliberately altered by Brainiac.
