The Sentry then visited Doctor Strange to determine if he was real or not. The Sentry confronts the now separated Void This kept the world safe from the Void for as long as Sentry could keep up the charade. He knew that if Reynolds believed the Void was in the Watchtower, the Void would be. He also told Cornelius that he knew all along that the Void was never in the Watchtower's vault. Sentry then told Cornelius how he really gained his powers as a teenager: by stealing the Professor's serum and ingesting it to get high. The Sentry chased the Void away and then explained to Cornelius why he had hired him in the first place: Reynolds subconsciously wanted someone to reveal the Void's existence to the world so he would no longer have to hide that aspect of himself. With only half of Reynolds' memories (the Void possessing the other half), the Sentry was not sure whether the Void was wrong or not. The Void claimed that Reynolds transformed into the Void rather than the Sentry, and that the Sentry was merely a guilt-borne byproduct of that transformation.

As the Void returned to Manhattan, the pieces began to fall in place and the Sentry's former friends assembled to defend him and the city. The Sentry contacted his former colleagues, but the only one who recalled their shared history was the Hulk. Years later, Robert's memories slowly returned along with the Void, who rampaged across Europe, murdering many members of the Super-Heroes of Europe. With the Sentry inactive and forgotten, the Void vanished. Discovering that the Void was the dark aspect of his own powers, the Sentry teamed up with Reed Richards and Doctor Strange to create a system capable of making the Earth's entire population, themselves included, forget all about him. The Void next appeared a few years after the Sentry became famous nearly killing Scout, driving the Hulk into a rampage, and murdering over one million people in Manhattan. The Void's early career as a super villainĪccording to Lindy Reynolds, Norman Osborn, the Silver Surfer, and the Void itself, the Void is a dark entity that bonded to Robert Reynolds when he consumed the serum that turned him into the Sentry. Though the exact origin of the Void is unknown, his first activities were seemingly traced all the way back to circa 1600 BCE, when Moses pleaded for every Hebrew doorpost to be marked with lamb's blood in order to protect the Israelite firstborn from the final plague God was going to bring on Pharaoh Ramses and on Egypt: the Angel of Death, believed to be the Void himself (though other beings have been told to be that entity).
