Who is Osborn using for leverage?

Does anyone have any guesses as to who the shadowy figure that Norman Osborn uses to threaten the Cabal back at the beginning of Dark Reign is? It must be someone wicked bad ass to scare Doom, Loki, and Namor like that.

I'd make a Squirrel Girl joke, but since that would mean a dark/evil Squirrel Girl and that would kill me a little inside, I'll refrain. In all seriousness, I have no clue.

I think it was Sentry.

Personally, I wish it were Mephisto, then the whole OMD/BND thing would make a little more sense as the side effect of an Osborn-Mephisto deal.

Part of me thinks it may be whoever Scourge is in Thunderbolts, but I think it's going to end up being a bigger player. Mephisto's not a bad idea.

Then again, we had to wait 30 issues for the reveal of the shadowy figure in New Avengers #1 (at least, it was a skrull, right?), so we may be waiting for a while.

I thought it was already revealed to be The Sentry.

I don't think it was specifically revealed to be the Sentry, but i think it was implied it was the Sentry.

I went back and reread the Cabal issue, and while it hasn't been revealed for sure I think that it is the Sentry as well now. Bendis said we would find out for sure in December, he didn't say which book, just the month that the reveal would happen.
