A zombie Sentry appears in the "Crossover" story arc of Ultimate Fantastic Four. This Sentry is the source of the infection in Marvel Zombies. He is never called by name, and is only identifiable by his costume. Other aspects of his appearance are more reminiscent of Superman including short, spitcurled hair rather than the Earth-616 Sentry's long hair. The zombie Sentry is also missing a patch of his uniform roughly in the shape and location of Superman's "S" shield due to Ash shooting him in the first issue of the prequel miniseries Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness. Originally, the source of the infection was intended to be a zombie version of Superman, hence the similarities. However, due to copyright issues, trademarked names and images such as Superman's logo had to be omitted. Some reprints of Marvel Zombies have altered artwork to remove these similarities.
The zombie Sentry isn't seen again after infecting the Avengers shortly after his arrival. His fate is not revealed.
In Marvel Zombies Return, it is revealed that Sentry from Earth-Z is the original host seen in Ultimate Fantastic Four #21. After being bitten by a contaminated Hulk, the Earth-Z Sentry is trapped by Giant-Man in order to power up the Multidimensional Device owned by Uatu (the Watcher) in the Blue Area of the Moon. After Spider-Man releases Sand-Man with nanobots that destroy all zombies present (except for the Sentry himself), Uatu appears and sends Sentry into the universe that was first infected, thus beginning the infection, trapping the Sentry in a time loop and thereby containing the infection to an extent.
