Void is a fictional comic book character in the Wildstorm Universe.

Void was the evolution of a woman named Adrianna who was born in Arkhangelsk, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Soviet Union. She was raised with her sister Svetlana by their father after the death of their mother. Her father encouraged Adrianna's ambition to become a cosmonaut and told her that the Archangel, after whom their home city was named was a creature made of silver who would take the chosen ones to the stars.

Her sister died in a car accident when Adrianna was sixteen. After grieving for her sister, Adrianna entered the military and achieved the rank of major. Three months after her father died of heart failure, she was sent into outer space. In space, during extra-vehicular activity, Adrianna saw a sphere made of silver, which collided with their space shuttle, destroying it. The sphere bonded with Adrianna, giving her new abilities and turning her into Void. A second sphere landed on Earth in Antarctica where it was collected by an American government organization called International Operations (IO).

In the distant past, the spheres had been part of Omnia, Mistress of Light. Omnia would lose her final battle against the darkness, but could not be destroyed. Instead, her power was dispersed into many small Orbs of Power. Another of these Orbs was bound to Cassandra Newland, who would turn into the enigmatic 'Providence'.

Void had precognition allowing her to see the future, but her control was imperfect and she could see only fragments. In 1990, Void met Jacob Marlowe, a homeless drifter who suffered amnesia. Void informed Jacob about his past as the Kherubim Lord Emp. Over the next two years, Emp would build a financial empire and gather a group of warriors to form the WildCATs. To prevent the Daemonite Helspont from abusing the Orb of Power that IO had found. Before Helspont could use it, a criminal known as the Gnome stole the Orb. He too tried to abuse it, but Emp threw the Orb into a cold fusion reactor. Void revealed that in a previous timeline, the Gnome had killed her, but part of her was able to go back in time and influence herself to get help before battling the Gnome.
