powers=-|Steward Ward (which is supposedly an assumed name; both names could be considered synonyms for "sentry") first appears as a Senator in Peter Parker: Spider-Man Vol. 2 #4, with frequent appearances in the this and the concurrent Amazing Spider-Man title throughout Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #24. Mysterious and seemingly up to no good, Ward lurked behind the scenes of the title until he ran afoul of
Dr. Octopus and theSinister Six . Ward reappeared a few issues later, and his backstory and connections to Spider-Man allyArthur Stacy and the mysterious Ranger were revealed in a storyline running Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2. A formerS.H.I.E.L.D. agent operating as "Sentry", Ward was as a double agent for Z'Nox aliens, who used Ward to aid in an invasion of Earth. Years later, as Z'Nox aliens found themselves on Earth during a brief period when it was designated an intergalatic prison, Ward was infected by Z'Nox lifeform, mutating him into a half-human/half-alien being. Ranger subsequently sacrificed himself to destroy Ward.
