The ninja clan called the Secret Swords has its roots far back in medieval Japan. They are a highly mysterious order who work worldwide on missions of assassination and terror, using traditional ninja methods. In addition to these methods, such as ambush and poison, they are rumored to use demonic magic to accomplish their goals.

The Secret Swords trained the vigilante [[Avenger]], who left them abruptly, and they have attempted to kill him several times over the years.

Membership of the Secret Swords has included:

* [[Ichiban]]
* [[Black Scorpion]]
* [[Tarantula]]
* [[Master Zan]]
* [[Raven]]

'''Real Name:''' Key Savage

'''Background: '''In the possible 23nd Century of the Biogenic Wars, Earth is a battleground between the last remnants of humanity and the [[Parahumans|parahuman]] "mutants". An all-out war of survival has raged for decades. A hero of the genetically original humans (the so-called "pure strain"), Captain Key Savage volunteered for a one-way journey back in time to alter history, by stopping the parahumans before they had a chance to spread. He landed in the early 21st Century in New York City and led a one-man crusade of destruction against parahumans, which often brought him into conflict with superheroes.

'''Status:''' During a battle with the crimefighter [[Shadow]], Savage set off an explosion in which he appeared to have been killed, but his body has not been recovered.

'''Skills:''' Savage is an expert commando, skilled in weapons use, unarmed combat, demolitions, stealth and infiltration. He is superbly trained and fanatically motivated.

'''Technology: '''Savage brought back many weapons and devices from his future era and made good use of them. Because of pollution, the sunlight in his era is much dimmer than ours, and he is forced to wear special goggles to compensate.

</gallery>The superhero team known as the Sentries were formed by Dr. [[Nathaniel Nova]] with the goal of combating the threat of evil genius Michael [[Sargon]]. Although they never brought Sargon to justice, they did stop many of his plans. They also battled many menaces during their tenure. They were based in a secret location in the Rocky Mountains.

The Sentries membership consisted of:
* ''[[Soundwave I]] (Duncan Black):'' Soundwave invented a suit that gave him control over sound.
* ''[[Viceroy]]'' (John Mackey): The space-travelling hero was a mainstay of the team. Always strong-willed, he argued many times with Soundwave over team decisions.
* ''[[Jade I]]'' (Melissa Barnes) was Earth-Prime's original Jade, whose body had been symbiotically linked with an alien crystal intelligence, now deceased. The current [[Jade]] is her counterpart from an alternate timeline.
* ''[[Quantum|M]] (Shawn Michaels):'' a parahuman with control over magnetism, he later left the team to join Watchstar 2, before morphing into a new form as [[Quantum]].
* ''[[Raven]]'' (Lisa Sakura): The ninja called Raven was an agent of [[PHASE II]], and provided the team with intelligence and spy capabilities.
The Sentries reunited briefly during the [[Hero Wars]], when Jade was killed and M was infected by the alien virus that caused him to gain new powers.
