History

The Sentinels of Magic were a team of magical superheroes who gathered to protect the world from threats of a mystical nature. The team gathered together to oppose Asmodel after the fallen Pax Dei angel had bonded to the Spectre and gone on a rampage where together they subdued Neron and unleashed hell on Earth. It was Doctor Occult who began gathering an army of mystics to stop him as the Sentinels of Magic. (Day of Judgment v1 #1) In search of a weapon to defeat Asmodel, Captain Marvel went into space to retrieve the Spear of Destiny. Hal Jordan agreed to try and become the new Spectre, but was struck down. The JSA then arrived on the scene, with the new Dr. Fate Hector Hall) in tow. (Day of Judgment v1 #3) The Sentinels channeled their mystical powers into Hal to defeat Asmodel. In Hell, Blue Devil was resurrected by Faust, who also re-ignited the fires of Hell by murdering the Enchantress. On Earth, Neron took over Superman's body and seized control of the Spectre. (#4) Hal Jordan ultimately defeated Neron and Asmodel and assumed the Spectre's mantle. (Day of Judgment v1 #5) He then entrusted the Spear of Destiny to the Sentinels, who sent it into the sun after dispatching the Wizard and casting a spell to ensure that only they can retrieve it. (Day of Judgment Secret Files v1 #1)

The group were later attacked by Hermes Trismegestus who sought to unleash Hell on Earth. At the time, Hermes was residing within the body of Felix Faust and he resurrected the Enchantress as his agent to steal the souls of the Sentinels. The JLA recruited Faust and Blue Devil to help them, and Tempest was infused with the spirits of old Atlantean B'Mirian mages. Ultimately, the Enchantress was united with June Moon thus temporarily creating a new entity called the Soulsinger. The Soulsinger used the stolen heroes' souls to banish Trismegestus where Blue Devil sacrificed himself to stop the demons and both Fausts emerged unharmed. Afterwards, Zatanna was named liaison between the JLA and the Sentinels of Magic. (JLA: Black Baptism v1 #4)

They helped the Justice League purge Earth of the White Martians by nullifying the gravity of the moon. Thus, the moon was brought burning into Earth's atmosphere. (JLA v1 #58) With help from Tempest, the Justice League helped defeat an attempt by Ocean Master and Black Manta to take over Atlantis. Zatanna and the Sentinels of Magic then discovered that ancient Atlantis had in fact been cloaked for 3,000 years. They were responsible for casting a spell to send the Justice League back in time to find Aquaman. (JLA v1 #68)
