Background

Adrianna Tereshkova was born in Arkhangelsk, Russia, and was primarily raised by her father, as her mother has passed when she was young. Her father loved Adrianna and her ambition to become a cosmonaut, frequently encouraging her with legends of the Archangel after whom their city was named. In their tales, the Archangel was a creature made of silver who would take chosen ones to the stars.

When Adrianna was sixteen, her sister Svetlana died in a car accident. Adrianna never went to the funeral and instead found comfort with a musician. Her father disapproved, and one year after Svetlana’s death, he got drunk and confronted her. Heartbroken by his sadness, Adrianna once again dedicated herself to becoming a cosmonaut.

In her cosmonaut career, Adrianna achieved the rank of major and was sent into outer space on July 28th, 1980. Her father was unable to witness this culmination of a dream, as he had passed away due to heart failure 3 months prior. During extra-vehicular activity, Adrianna saw a sphere made of silver, which then collided with and destroyed their space shuttle. A second sphere landed on Earth in Antarctica, where it was collected by the American government organization International Operations (I.O.).

In the far future, 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.

The Orb and Adrianna merged and became Void. 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 gathered a group of warriors to form the WildC.A.T.s. Void created them to prevent the Daemonite Helspont from abusing the Orb of Power I.O. 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 influenced Void to get help before battling the Gnome.

During her time with the WildC.A.T.s, Void came to learn of two other Orbs of power: Providence had become a member of Helspont’s Cabal and often came in conflict with the WildC.A.T.s. The other Orb was in the possession of the mad Kherubim Lord Entropy. When Entropy kidnapped Emp and restored his memory, Void sensed the use of the Orb and took the WildC.A.T.s to him. They defeated Entropy and he and the Orb disappeared. Shortly afterwards, Void fought Providence, who had allied with the witch Tapestry. Tapestry betrayed Providence by refusing to hand over the captive Void to her. Tapestry used her magic to merge Providence and Void, enslaving them both. Tapestry was defeated though and Providence and Void returned to normal, though now they could no longer sense each other’s presence.

When the WildC.A.T.s faced the alien Crusade, Crusade hit Void, dislodging her face. Her face fell like a mask to the floor and human reporters saw that there was nothing but emptiness behind it. Confronted with her loss of humanity, Void fled. When she returned Savant helped her deal with her loss by talking to the reporters telling them about the sacrifices she made for the human race.

Void became more and more inhuman over the years; where Void and Adrianna were once one and the same, now their personalities started to diverge. Finally Adrianna had enough; Void’s inhumanity was driving her insane. Inside her mind, Adrianna and Void met, and Adrianna asked Void to finally release her soul. Void agreed as she no longer needed a human host.

Adrianna’s spirit moved on and Void appeared in the Halo Corporation, home of former Wildcat Spartan, now known as Jack Marlowe. Void started working for Jack Marlowe, who was studying Void’s ability of teleportation. When she teleported, Void moved through Otherspace, a dimension filled with energy. Marlowe’s assistant, Noir, saw the possibilities in harvesting Otherspace, but he saw Void as a threat. He sabotaged a nuclear reactor, causing a leak. The leak caused Void’s physical form to slowly break down. Marlowe did what he could to cure Void, but in the end found out that without Adrianna, Void had no will to live. Marlowe offered his robotic body as a new host and Void and Marlowe, merged, vastly increasing Marlowe’s already impressive powers.
