Summary about the mutant/superhuman/superpower detection and DNA analyzing abilities of the Sentinels
Their scanners are far more broad-spectrum than just 'human or mutant'. They actually function as ranged DNA and biological scanners and can detect things like Cap's augmentation and the enhanced nature of the likes of the Fantastic Four and Spiderman. The one incarnation of Master Mold Cyclops destroyed with the exploding oil refinery had decided on destroying the entire human race after realizing all humans were potentially mutants in some fashion.
Another Sentinel was shown detecting the hybrid Kree/Human nature of one teen girl when she herself thought she was purely human. Pretty much the only thing that they can't detect is magical potential or magic in use.
A mutant is anything that possesses traits or characteristics not possessed by the genetic material contributed by either parent. Someone like Hulkling isn't a mutant as he possesses traits inherited from his Skrull and Kree parents,
whereas Franklin Richards is a mutant because none of his powers are possessed or inherited from his parents.
In the comics the definitions have been altered with what's considered 'baseline human', which is simply someone who possesses powers within a range defined as acceptable deviation for a member of the human race. Someone outside those definitions is considered a mutant and a defacto member of a new evolutionary offshoot, although genetics-wise one can't really classify them as a separate offshoot as they are in the comics.
Powers that can block the electromagnetic frequencies that the scanners work on can block them (and yes the Nightmares of Futures Past module series erred in listing things like Mental Invisibility as protection but they did the best that they could); so powers like
Radiowave Control,
Force Field (conventional and the specialized Force Field Vs Energy),
Invisibility/Physics Type (provided you have a high enough rank to warp radiowaves),
Phasing (when active).
and with less efficiency (-2cs)
Electricity Control,
Magnetic Control
Resistances to Energy wouldn't necessarily work though, as the scanner field isn't actually doing damage but analyzing the target. Plenty of resistant and Invulnerable characters have been detected; even Juggernaut's scannable to a
degree.
Depending on the range of the power something that allowed you to directly control a Sentinel would allow you to make it ignore its sensors but probably couldn't prevent a group of them catching you. Mechanical shielding of various sorts also exist for those so inclined, and likely magical versions as well (like the spell Roma used to render the X-men temporarily undetectable by any scanner device, including most Sentinels).
UPB - Life Detection: The hero - in this case, the Sentinel - can detect the presence of life and identify the nature of that life. The hero can probe a specific target for more detailed physiological data on a red FEAT. A red FEAT allows the hero to locate a specific life form in the midst of a number of similar beings.
UPB - Power Detection: The hero can detect and identify superhuman Powers. He can also identify specific superhumans by their characteristic Powers (an Unearthly FEAT). The hero can identify the presence of previously invoked power when examining former targets of Power on a Good Intensity FEAT; identify a specific Power on a Remarkable Intensity FEAT; and identify the actual user of the Power on an Amazing Intensity FEAT, provided the hero knows of him.
Summarizing the above, the Sentinel needs a
-Green FEAT, to detect mutants/superhumans in his range
-Red FEAT, to completely analyze a mutant/superhuman and store her/his pattern for later use
-Red FEAT, to locate a specific individual in the midst of other mutants/superhumans if s/he doesn't actively use her/his powers
and it has to roll
-a Good Intensity FEAT to detect previously used powers
-a Remarkable Intensity FEAT to identify previously used powers
-an Amazing Intensity FEAT to identify an individual by the used powers
Baisc types of the Sentinels:
Notorious, unique Sentinels:
Sentinels Mark I
created by Dr. Bolivar Trask
In a television debate between Trask and Professor Charles Xavier, Trask revealed and then activated the Sentinels, who promptly decided that the best way to protect humanity was to rule over it themselves. The Sentinels kidnapped Xavier and brought him and Trask to the primary Sentinel, Master Mold, only for Xavier's students, the X-Men, to find them. When Trask realized the error in his ways and that not all mutants were a threat to the world at large, he aided the X-Men by sabotaging the machinery in the Sentinel base, destroying Master Mold and the Sentinels in the explosion, but he died in the process. However, numerous Sentinels and several Master Molds were built after the destruction of the original models.

Sentinels Mark III
created by Stephen Lang for Project: Armageddon
After the death of Lawrence Trask, the property of plans for the Sentinels fell to the government of the United States. Dr. Stephen Lang became the head of a federal research – Project: Armageddon – about mutants, trying to discover how mutations could provide superhuman powers. However, unbeknownst to his employers, Lang was an anti-mutant bigot who used his position to obtain access to the notes and designs of Larry Trask and Bolivar Trask, his father and creator of the original Mk I Sentinels.
The Mk III Sentinels were unfortunately inferior to the previous ones because Lang worked with only incomplete notes from the Trasks and because the secret of his activities stopped him from hiring enough experts. He also made them less intelligent than the previous Sentinels to stop any possible rebellion.

Sentinels Mark IV
created by Sebastian Shaw for Project: Wideawake
After the second Brotherhood of Evil Mutants tried to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly while he was performing a public research on the possible threat of superhuman beings and mutants, the President's Cabinet authorized secret and illegal Project Wideawake to research and, if needed, capture any superhuman mutant that the Project management could consider a threat to national security. The Project's head was Henry Gyrich, answering only to the President, with Senator Kelly himself as an special consultant.
The government contacted industrial tycoon Sebastian Shaw, ignoring that Shaw was a evil mutant himself, to build the new breed of Sentinels. Shaw Industries is authorized by the government to build top-secret Sentinels to be used in Project Awakening.
Shaw produced three models: Mark IV Sentinels, Mark V Sentinels and Mark VI Sentinels. None of these models proved to be as formidable as the Mark II and Mark III Sentinels. The models were constantly being modified and improved. Shaw secretly used Sentinels to attack his own enemies, the X-Men, but the government was unaware of this.

Prime Sentinels
created by Bastion for Operation: Zero Tolerance
The Prime Sentinels were created when Bastion initiated the Operation: Zero Tolerance program. These Sentinels were actually humans who had been fitted with cybernetic nanotech implants which, upon activation, transformed the humans into armored beings with powerful weapons systems. These altered humans set up as sleeper agents, unaware of their natures until a signal from the Operation: Zero Tolerance base activated their programming.
Known Powers:
Bionic Enhancements: Unlike the other Sentinels, a Prime Sentinel is human enhanced by robotics, gaining the following abilities from their mechanical parts:
-Body Armor: Incredible protection from physical and energy damage
-Immunity to Poison, Disease and Gas
-Self-Sustenance: Prime Sentinels do not need to breathe
-Combat Sense: Rm, they have combat computers, which allow them to compensate for surprising events (say, the arrival of police cars) faster than normal humans
-Flight: Ex airspeed (10 areas/round)
-Invulnerability to Psionic Attacks: Prime Sentinels has Class 1000 resistance to attacks that directly affect the mind. It is possible for a telepath to contact the human consciousness hoever this requires an Unearthly Intuition FEAT check. Additionally if the telepath gains control of the human consciousness an Unearthly Intuition FEAT is required every round to maintain control
-Learning Program: This allows the Sentinel to gain a +2CS against an opponent in all FEATs after fighting that opponent for 3 rounds. Further, the information is relayed back to central computers, such that other Sentinels are aware of it and gain that ability in future battles. After these 3 rounds, a Sentinel can negate the opponent mutant powers with Un ability. Specific Weapon systems of up to Mn level can be installed to fight previously encountered opponents.
-Life Detection: Un, able to scan all living beings within 10 areas and determine if they are human or mutant or something else.
-Power Dampening: Ex, their systems make them able to dampen or disrupt the powers of mutants within 4 areas, effectively lowering their abilities by Rank Number and causing their Fighting ability to drop by -1cs
-Regeneration: Prime sentinels has a self-repair ability enabling them to regain 10 Health per round. If the Prime Sentinel's health falls below 10%, this power fails to operate
-Shape-Change: A Prime Sential is able to transform eaily between it's human and mechanical form. It takes 1 round for the transformation to be complete
-Software Countermeasures: Am, these Sentinels have Amazing protection against hacking attempts
Weapons Systems: The Prime Sentinels are armed with the following weapons array:
-Energy Beam: Am, a Prime Sentinel can fire individual blasts of energy of Amazing intensity. They can also spread from their fingers to cover an 1 area with energy for Incredible damage.

Omega Prime Sentinels
created by Bastion for Operation: Zero Tolerance
The Prime Sentinels were created when Bastion initiated the Operation: Zero Tolerance program. These Sentinels were actually humans who had been fitted with cybernetic nanotech implants which, upon activation, transformed the humans into armored beings with powerful weapons systems. These altered humans set up as sleeper agents, unaware of their natures until a signal from the Operation: Zero Tolerance base activated their programming. Their programming may use the natural personality of the host to lull unsuspecting targets into conversation, at which point they dampen their powers and kill them. Omega Prime Sentinels, like Karima Shapandar, are equipped with some level of electromagnetic powers, but these were apparently prototypes, as their designs are clunkier than other Prime Sentinels.

-Multiple Attacks: The six-armed Sentinel can make up to 3 attacks per round, or grapple up to six separate man-sized targets. If grappling, a target of similar size, the Tri-Sentinel is +3 on its attacks.
Limitation:
Safety Lock: Shaw industries has installed a safety device in the controlling logic of the original model Sentinels which carried over into the Tri-Sentinel. This safety device opens a loop in their logic-circuits indicating that the Sentinels themselves are mutants, so they will destroy themselves. For the original Sentinels, this will be effective, but the Tri-Sentinel is only immobilized for 1-10 rounds until it overrides the logic.
Known Powers:
Robotic Construct: Nimrod is the ultimate alpha sentinel who were built in humanoid form. His very bodies give him the following power stunts:
-Body Armor: Am material, Am protection vs. Physical and Energy
-Immune to Disease, Gas and Psionic attacks
-Self-Sustenance: Doesn’t need to eat, sleep or breathe, can survive in the vacuum of space
-Electrical Insulation: Incredible
-Flight: Rm airspeed (15 areas/round)
-Life Detection: Class 1000, able to scan all living beings within 100 miles and determine if they are human or mutant or something else.
-Learning Program: Nimrod has a special learning program built into his internal computers which gives him a +1CS to hit after 2 rounds of studying an opponent in combat. Nimrod can also generate and develop specialized weapons and defenses from his own body to counter specific powers, but this takes time (usually about 24 hours). Generally speaking, no power stunt will work against Nimrod in more than one encounter (as long as sufficient time has passed between encounters for Nimrod to prepare a special attack or defense).
-Searchlight: Their eyes can illuminate a 2-area volume up to 5 areas away
-Self-repair: Remarkable as long as 10% health points remain, every 15 points needs 30 minutes to restore, for every 20 points Healing one of his powers drop -2cs
-Shapechange: Nimrod can change his physiognomy to appear human. He is vulnerable in this form and does not have any of his powers, although his Health and Karma are unaffected. He can transform into combat mode instantaneously.
-Software Countermeasures: Un, these Sentinels have Monstrous protection against hacking attempts
-Superhuman Being Index: Nimrod has an internal database of most terrestrial superhuman beings from his alternate timeline (as well as those he has encountered in the mainstream timeline), particularly mutants. All mutants known, living or dead, in the 21st century are in this database. As such, Nimrod is highly likely to be fully aware of the powers, abilities, talents, etc. of any superhumanly powerful being he may encounter, and will have devised appropriate attack and defense modes for each such being (see Learning Program, below). On occasion, Nimrod's database will be in error due to differences between his alternate timeline and the mainstream (5% chance).
-Teleportation: Nimrod will teleport away when any encounter turns against him. He can transport himself upto 5 mile away. The process takes 1 turn, and reduces all of his powers by -2CS for 1 turn.
Weapons Systems: Nimrod is armed with the following weapons array:
-Disintegrator Beam: 2 areas, in 1 round can disintegrate one cubic yard of Incredible strength inorganic matter
-Energy Beam: Mn Energy or Force (including Plasma Beam, Electron Beam, Heat Rays, etc.) from the eyes, palms or chest
-Force Field: Nimrod can encase himself in a force field of Unearthly intensity. He cannot attack while the force field is engaged.
-Shockweb: In, Nimrod can create an invisible energy web roughly one area in diameter. Anyone touching the web must make an Endurance FEAT roll against Incredible intensity stunning effect. Failure means the person is stunned for 1-10 turns. The web is an Amazing material and is unaffected by gravity and can be created anywhere within 3 areas of Nimrod. Once created, the web lasts until Nimrod moves more than 3 areas away from it, he disengages it, or is rendered unconscious. The shockweb can be safely bypassed by objects or being six inches or smaller. The web is often use to capture flying opponents and prevent opponents from escaping
-Sonic Beam: Mn, Nimrod can fire a beam of high pitched, high frequency sound that has upto Monstrous intensity and a range of 3 areas. This beam is extremely painful to most living beings. Anyone struck by the beam must make an Endurance FEAT roll. A White result means the character is stunned for 1-10 turns; a Green result means Fighting, Agility and Intuition FEATs are at -3 CS; a Yellow result means Fighting, Agility, and Intuition FEATs are at -2CS; and a Red result means Fighting, Agility and Intuition FEATs are at -1 CS. Characters whose Endurance is equal to the current intensity of the beam treat White results as Green; characters whose Endurance is higher than the current intensity of the beam treat White and Green results as Yellow. The sonic beam has no effect on opponents who are deaf. Conversely, characters who are hyper-sensitive to sound (e.g., Daredevil, Wolverine, the Black Panther, etc.,) suffer a -1 or -2CS on their Endurance FEAT rolls. The sonic beam may be used in conjunction with the synapse dislocuter with no penalty to Nimrod. It is unaffected by body armor or force fields.
-Synapse Disrupter: Un, Nimrod can fire an Unearthly intensity beam of pulsed electromagnetic energy that interferes with the flow of neurons in most organic beings. Anyone struck by the disrupter must make a Psyche FEAT roll against the intensity of the synapse disrupter. Failure means the target is stunned for 10 turns. The synapse disrupter is unaffected by body armor but cannot penetrate force fields. It does not affect inorganic beings. It has a range of 3 areas.
-Tractor/Pressor Beam: Nimrod can fire tractor/pressor beams which exert Monstrous strength up to 5 areas distant. These beams are used to pull or push an opponent, or hold an opponent or object in place. Note that these beams cannot cause any damage by itself. A Strength FEAT roll is required to break free of the beam's power.
