The Nothing

> A problem voidspawn of two star-crossed "lovers," The Nothing has quite the rough backstory. Don't let this fool you, though, as it let these problems fester and create the rough individual The Nothing is today. While not accepted by either of the two factions it is part of, The Nothing ironically shares a similar classification to the big Void itself, Batrelalk, who is accepted.

## Biography

The Nothing was "born" after a voidspawn (whose name is unknown) encountered Misalignment 22. Either the voidspawn attempted to generate a void creature or the corrupted misalignment somehow obtained Void, but regardless, this obscure union brought forth The Nothing. Standing at an impressive seventeen feet tall, The Nothing was no Void to scoff at... Except that it was doomed from the start because of that origin. Corruption and Void were never to mingle, but as a result of this, both factions rejected The Nothing as their own (despite The Nothing looking perfectly Void to the untrained eye). Probably because of this, The Nothing took on the ideals of the Dark and spites all existence, wishing for everything to return to Void.

## List of Powers and Abilities

The Nothing boasts a fair list of powers and abilities, sharing attributes of both the Void and Corruption. Without even attributing its power to the Key of the Slayer (tab below as well), The Nothing is still quite powerful. The following are its list of powers and abilities, across canon continuities:

* Distortion Aura/Field
* Distortion crystal generation
* Distortion beams
* Infusing attacks with electricity
* Firing electricity
* Moderate ailment resistance
* Phasing (The Nothing can use its Void aspect to phase through matter and some energy)
* Nigh-Unkillable (As a hybrid of Void and Corruption, The Nothing shares both factions' sheer durability)
* Regeneration
* Void Invincibility (Void creatures are reborn in the Void when "killed" and will fully reform over time)
* Razor claws (The Nothing's Void claws have shown the ability to cleave through various metals with ease)
* Adaptation (Repeated blows, attacks, or even ailments will cause them to be less effective the more they are applied)
* Hypnosis
* Void Tornado
* Absorption
* Elemental Resistance (Void creatures automatically absorb elemental blows, especially electricity, but can be overwhelmed if hit by too much energy at once)
* Forgotten Linked (The Nothing uniquely has the ability to call upon the Forgotten, to banish beings to it, and heal there)

## Key of the Slayer

Throughout Multiverse, there have been a number of wielders of the Key of the Slayer. It is a mystical artifact which takes the appearance of a key but it is functionally a sword. It chooses its owners and will attempt to destroy anyone it does not deem "worthy" to hold it. Its attacks are immensely powerful and can cleave any material as well as stopping healing. Additionally, it has the ability to swap properties based on the user's discretion. All of this leads to The Nothing. It is a being who was discriminated against by its own kind on both sides of its family and when the time came for The Nothing to discover and wield the Key, it was found worthy.

While only using it a short time in the main timeline, other continuities have had it using the Key for much longer. The Nothing adapted a special fighting style and utilizes the Key mostly in its shadow and bright blue forms. [continue]
