Biography[]
Sentinel Unit 66 was one of the Sentinels that operated under Sentinel Unit 2 at the Ant Hill. The Sentinels engaged in a plot to instigate a solar flare, which would sterilize Earth's mutant population, thus bringing the race one step closer to extinction. The Sentinels fought up against the Avengers and were defeated. Sentinel Unit 66 was disabled and left behind in the Ant Hill, which was sealed up by Iron Man.
Years later, a mutated Sentinel from another timeline, Sentinel 3.14159, discovered the Ant Hill and re-activated the existing Sentinels, including Sentinel Unit 66. [1]
