** The right palm of Okuyasu's Stand, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Hand]] can remove anything from existence, even ''the space between two bodies'' (effectively letting him teleport). Okuyasu himself says he doesn't know where things go. This makes him one of the most powerful stand users ever and a perfect [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]]... if he wasn't so much of an idiot that Josuke defeats him by ''ducking''.[note]He accidentally removed the space between some plant pots and his ''own face.''[/note] Granted, later on he does begin managing to pull his own weight, even assisting in the main villain's downfall.

* The Dark Eldar in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' have access to a weapon called the Dark Lance, in the 5th edition, they have a flyer which has a beefed up version called the Void Lance, these Voidraven Bombers also have a bomb, called the Void Mine which first creates a protected sphere, to utterly annihilate everything in it. Nobody knows for sure what the "darklight" these weapons fire actually is, altough it's theorized to form around black holes, warpstorms and other celestial phenomena of great magnitude. It is extremely volatile (pure darklight seems to behave like antimatter) and merely looking at a darklight beam can leave permanent scars on your retinae.

* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2'', one of Dracula's new weapons is the Void Sword. It is the embodiment of the void in Dracula's own heart after he forsook his humanity. It is a 'vampiric' weapon that replenishes Dracula's health by draining his foe's. The Void Sword can also launch void projections which drain the heat from their targets, freezing them.
* Void Spirit in ''VideoGame/Dota2'' uses the power of the void to blast enemies with magical damage. He is the eldest of the four Spirit Brothers, the rest of whom wield [[DishingOutDirt more]] [[PlayingWithFire mundane]] [[ShockAndAwe elements]].

* Void is the Japanese name for the Non-Elemental element in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon''. It's most prominently wielded by game anti-villain / anti-hero Lloyd.
* Played interestingly in ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'' with the Void Creature and Void Stone, which give extra coins if next to ''empty spaces on the slots.'' If there's no empty spaces around them, [[PuffOfLogic they destroy themselves.]] To a lesser extent, there is the Lemon item, which gives one coin per empty space on this roll; and to a grander one, there's the Void Portal, which gives one coin each turn per symbol destroyed in the game.
* In the second ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' game, the dark purple Murian soldiers wield this "element", as Geo adresses them as "Ye born of Nothing".

* In ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'', there are three 'void' objects, the Void Stone, the Void Fruit, and the Void Creature. All work the same way: zero inherent value, but returns 1 coin per empty space near it. If there are no empty spaces near it, it destroys itself and returns 8 coins. The Void Party item gives them a 50% chance of regenerating after destruction, but it can only happen up to 7 times in one spin.

* From ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', we have the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Herrscher of the Void]] (as if the name didn't tip you off), who combines this trope with SpaceMaster. Many of their abilities include attacking via pockets of distorted space, ThinkingUpPortals, dragging unlucky foes into the Imaginary Space to have their way with them and even creating ''[[UnrealisticBlackHole minature black holes]]''. There's a good reason why the only effective solution Shicksal had at the time of its first uprising was to [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill obliterate their surrounding area with dozens and dozens of anti-Honkai ballistic super missiles]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' takes place in an RPGMechanicsVerse where Void is one of the known elements, "the essence of lack or nothingness." Void is specifically an Aspect of destruction or obfuscation of knowledge and seems tied to [[PlaceBeyondTime the Furthest Ring]]. Heroes of the Void are also expected to [[{{Koan}} embrace nothingness to become something]]. The Heroes of the Void seen so far all have used their powers for passive PsychicBlockDefense against scrying and omniscience. The Page of Void had the potential to be a blank slate with no interests, which drove him to become a RenaissanceMan. Unfortunately, he ended up focusing on a few specific hobbies and ultimately achieved nothing. The Rogue of Void channels her power through her [[PortalDoor Fenestrated Portals]], which cuts through the timeless void outside the universe. Furthermore, her class as a Rogue allows her to steal an object's nonexistence, essentially [[ThePowerOfCreation giving her the ability to conjure objects from nothing]].

* ''Manga/Naruto'': Chibaku Tensei, a Void Style technique that creates a miniature black hole strong enough to create a planetary mass from the earth, even the[[spoiler: moon]]. It looks exactly like the picture on this page. Only Naruto has been able to break out of such an attack, but only because he formed [[DarkestHour eight tails]].

--> -- '''Xemnas''', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''

[[caption-width-right:330:[[Music/{{Soundgarden}} Black hole sun, won't you come...]]]]

* The Void/Nothing card in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' has the power to make anything she hits not exist.

* In the ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' series, Lina's Giga Slave and Ragna blade; the first is basically a summoning spell for the Lord of Nightmares, and the second is basically a blade made of nothingness that vaporizes anything it touches.
-->'''Sylphiel''': "Yours is a spell that invites a void into this world. It is the power to extinguish energy and return matter to nothingness. The bringer of the void becomes its very embodiment."
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** Vanilla Ice, TheDragon to Dio Brando has the ability to wrap his Stand, Cream, around him and swallow up anything in the void within it. Unfortunately, he cannot see during this, so...
** The right palm of Okuyasu's Stand, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Hand]] can remove anything from existence, even ''the space between two bodies'' (effectively letting him teleport). Okuyasu himself says he doesn't know where things go. This makes him one of the most powerful stand users ever and a perfect [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]]... if he wasn't so much of an idiot that Josuke defeats him by ''ducking''. Granted, later on he does begin managing to pull his own weight, even assisting in the main villain's downfall.
** In Part 8, it's revealed that [[spoiler:the true nature of Josuke's Soft & Wet bubbles are lines spinning so rapidly, they appear as spheres. Among the ones he normally generates, he unconsciously creates invisible bubbles that emerge from the birthmark on his neck. Their invisibility is caused by the lines comprising them being so infinitely thin, they're functionally non-existent, giving them special properties. Most notably, they are able to [[UnblockableAttack phase through physical barriers]], as well as bypass the [[DisasterDominoes logic]] of calamity [[TheJinx Wonder of U's ability]] operates on, all while still carrying an [[HavingABlast explosive spin]]. This turns it into an extremely powerful attack that doesn't exist, that Josuke later dubs as "Soft & Wet: Go Beyond."]]
* In ''Manga/ZatchBell'', the [[{{Mons}} demon]]; [[MeaningfulName Clear Note]] is the villain of the last story arc of the manga. He uses this trope for his spell theme "annihilation". He is a PersonOfMassDestruction, whose declared goal is to [[OmnicidalManiac kill every single demon]] (himself too eventually) and obliterate the demon world. He does not "come from the void" in any sense, though, and his will to destroy comes from [[spoiler:him being controlled by his own spell]].

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' Blackbeard can use his [[GravityMaster Gravity-controlling powers]] he gets from the [[CastingAShadow Yami Yami no Mi]] to absorb materials into the dark, smoke-like substance it creates, completly erasing what it absorbs off the surface of the Earth, even compared to a Black Hole. However, he can also expel the same matter, albeit crushed from the Gravity within the Void.
** It ''also'' has the ability to completely nullify both the abilities ''and'' the physical properties of Devil Fruit users, temporarily reverting them back into normal persons, as long as he is physically touching them. So in a sense, it's also works as a InfinityPlusOneElement.
** However, this comes with a NecessaryDrawback. Normally, a Logia-type Devil Fruit allows the user to turn into their respective element, making it so that most attacks harmlessly phase through their body; however, the "gravity" of the Yami Yami no Mi's darkness prevents Blackbeard from doing that. Additionally, the gravity subtly attracts enemy attacks, meaning that they get harder to avoid, more damaging and more painful.

* ''Manga/AliveTheFinalEvolution'':
** The estranged best friend who isn't the BigBad, exactly, but still a big threat and main quest object has void-type, negation and unbeing powers that manifest primarily as the ability to put holes in things. This can be quite horrible. [[spoiler: Later on he ditches his physical body, making him NighInvulnerable.]]
** The [[MadArtist completely cracked painter]] Yura (who started out physically repulsive and somehow through ArtEvolution became rather stunning, despite poor dental care) can create bubbles that blow up and seem to operate similarly, but when the aforementioned best friend character scatters his Swiss-cheesing ability around the stuff ''he'' hits just ''ceases to be.'' A good example of the [[NightmareFuel damage]] he can do? [[spoiler: Throughout the course of the series, he halved a metric ton of peoples' bodies (or just made holes appear ''in their heads''), and then even gave the same treatment to the greater part of a '''MOUNTAIN'''.]]

* ''Anime/NarutoShippuden'''s Chibaku Tensei, a Void Style technique that creates a miniature black hole strong enough to create a planetary mass from the earth, even the[[spoiler: moon]]. It looks exactly like the picture on this page. Only Naruto has been able to break out of such an attack, but only because he formed [[DarkestHour eight tails]].
* ''Manga/ArataTheLegend'''s Yataka has a Hayagami that represents this power [[spoiler:as stated by Tsukuyo]].
* In ''Manga/Brave10'', Isanami is the [[spoiler:Brave of Darkness.]] Despite the name, the power she has at her disposal is closer in function to this, rotting everything in the vicinity and turning it all to nothingness.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** ''Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone'' has [[BigBad Garlic Jr.]], whose SignatureMove is to open a portal to the titular Dead Zone. The portal functions exactly like a real life black hole, drawing everything in with immense gravitational force and anything that gets sucked in is trapped there permanently. Unfortunately for him, his greatest technique is ironically his greatest weakness as both of his defeats are the result of him getting sucked into the Dead Zone by Gohan. He managed to escape the first time by drawing power from the Makyo Star, but the second time, the heroes destroyed said star to make sure he can't escape again. And it doubly sucks for him as he is one of the few ''Dragon Ball'' villains to obtain immortality, meaning he can never die and will remain trapped in the Dead Zone for eternity.
** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'':
*** The Gods of Destruction all possess the "Hakai" technique, which allows them to erase anything and anyone from existence by simply pointing their hand at the target and (optionally) saying "Hakai". This ability is powerful enough to erase even intangible beings such as ghosts. Beerus first uses this ability to [[spoiler:execute Present Zamasu after his attempted murder of his mentor Gowasu. Goku in the manga used this ability to defeat Fused Zamasu, which only failed when the latter used Future Mai as a HumanShield.]] Sidra, Universe 9's God of Destruction uses this ability to destroy a city and later [[spoiler:grants a fraction of his Energy of Destruction to the leader of a team of assassins in an attempt to assassinate Goku and a resurrected Frieza.]]
*** The anime later introduces us to Zeno, the Omni-King of the Multiverse who like his fellow gods, has the power to erase anything he desires from existence. ''Unlike'' the Gods of Destruction, however, his ability is on a far more powerful scale as he has the power to erase entire '''universes''' from existence. [[spoiler:After Infinite Zamasu attempts to merge with the multiverse itself, Zeno simply erases Future Trunks' timeline to put him down.]] In the Universe Survival Saga, Zeni hosts a Tournament of Power where the losing team gets their universe erased. [[spoiler:Universe 9 was the first to lose and their universe and everything in it is promptly wiped out of existence.]]
* As a result of a ''lot'' of ancient magics carried out by her family, Shiki Ryougi from ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' ended up with an AnthropomorphicPersonification of the Void, a.k.a. the primordial chaos, as a secret ''third'' personality inhabiting her body. Said personality almost never takes control, though, because it is literally omnipotent (at one point destroying and recreating reality several times in a row in the span it took her to utter a single sentence) and, therefore, bored out of its mind, preferring to just slumber until its current host dies of old age and it can return to its natural state.

* A ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}''/''Comicbook/ChallengersOfTheUnknown'' crossover featured a group of four criminals who had each gained ElementalPowers from [[RingOfPower Rings of Power]] they stole from the Challs' villain Tiko. After defeating them, they heroes discovered that Tiko still has one ring, which gives him the power to generate an all-absorbing vacuum. Prof Haley helpfully explains that Void was the fifth element in some classical philosophies.

* There is a Starcraft/Star Wars crossover where Zeratul realizes that both the Light and Dark sides of the Force are the same psychic powers practiced by the Protoss (hence why Jedi are prone to falling to the Dark Side: without the Khala's discipline, they can't control it). By rejecting both, Jedi become able to use the very same powers practiced by Protoss Dark Templars, including making oneself invisible. A padawan practicing this describes that while the Force feels warm, the Void feels cold and empty.
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3869347/1 The Grey Templar 2.]]'' It has others as well, like the BigBad Sith channeling the Void to transform into a [[EnergyBeing Twilight Archon]], the canonical [[AllYourPowersCombined union of a high and a dark templar]]. Bear in mind, this fic was written years before ''Starcraft 2'' came out.

* In the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'',

* Luna uses this in ''Fanfic/ElementalsOfHarmony''. Faced with a physical manifestation of the element of Honesty that is damaging the universe [[NonMaliciousMonster by existing]], she moves herself between it and the sun and unleashes a spell that turns her shadow into the truth of the heat death of the universe. She personally considers that spell to be BlackMagic, and not in the TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering sense.
* All Void Kitsune in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4730390/1/ Naruto Genkyouien]]'' use this. It can be used for erasing things from existence, creating objects and teleporting. As of the more recent chapters, it can also erase concepts such as harm from living beings.
* In the Naruto fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Echoes|Kagaseo}}'', [[spoiler: The Madara Trio and Naruto/Kazama (who is ironically, the hero/AntiHero all have this, due to contact with [[GodOfEvil Amatsu-Mikaboshi]], unknowingly at first in Kazama's place. The Madara Trio can't erase things from existence, and while Kazama can, he has only used it once due to reflex.]]

* The Dark And Omnipotent Antithesis in ''[[FanFic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse Crisis On Two Equestrias]]''. Both Trixies note that technically she doesn't cast spells, she tears spell-shaped holes in the universe and magic rushes in to fill them. She can also tear open an hole and hold it open, creating anti-magic pockets where no spellcasting is possible.
* WD (Wingding Gaster) has these in ''Webcomic/AskFriskAndCompany'', but doesn't use them much, as by his own admission, they're dangerous and unpredictable, just as likely to harm as to help
* The crossover fic ''Fanfic/AFamiliarVoid'' gives Void the combined characteristics it had in ''The Familiar of Zero'' and ''Hollow Knight'' (see above and below). A single Abyss Shriek from the Knight is enough to cripple a massive golem.
* ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeries'': [[spoiler: When [[SixthRanger Jade's]] [[CastingAShadow shadow powers]] upgrade after the Veil is lowered in Season 2, they gain the ability to absorb and nullify anything that generates light, such as sucking in and snuffing out flames. This is later expanded on to show that she can even absorb and negate Quintessence-powered magic.]]

* In a Creator/StanislawLem story from ''Literature/TheCyberiad'', a MadScientist builds a machine that can create anything that starts with N. Asked to create "Nothing", the machine starts eliminating everything from existence. It begins with things that starts with N because it's more familiar with them, but then it breaks through, and it gets more void-y from there. [[spoiler:It is stopped just before completing the task, and the final result is implied to be our universe -- with small islands of light and life separated by immense voids.]]

* Creator/NKJemisin's ''Literature/InheritanceTrilogy'': Ia the Negation is the PhysicalGod of this, which gives him the {{Retconjuration}} power to write events out of history or [[RetGone make people never have existed]]. He's not a bad fellow, but spends his time [[GodInHumanForm in human form]] on Earth because other gods [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm can't bear the sight of his true form's]] absolute nothingness in the divine realms.
* The Franchise/CthulhuMythos story ''What Brings the Void'' by Will Murray. A line of refugees encounter a black void in their path and decide to commit suicide to escape the horror of an Earth dominated by the Old Ones. They disappear instantly into the void, which swells from absorbing them, turning from a void to a vortex and then a ''vornado'' that chases down anyone who refused to jump and consumes them. Even a HumanoidAbomination who'd been watching this and having an EvilLaugh finds himself devoured.
* ''Literature/TheElderEmpire'': The Great Elders are survivors from other worlds who were mutated and empowered by their trip through the void. The Sleepless have a few minor abilities related to the void, such as void-messages and summoning.
* In ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', the power of 'cancelling' magic is distinct from actual magic, and the Yotsuba don't try to breed for it anymore. The last time they did, they got an aberrant child who could not only destroy magic, but ''everything'' physical- right down to the cellular level. They had to [[EmptyShell psychologically cripple]] him to ensure he wouldn't accidentally cause the apocalypse, though even that [[OutOfTheFryingPan replaced impulsivity with ruthlessness]]. He's quite the MookHorrorShow when roused- even trained soldiers aren't prepared for [[NothingIsScarier the slow, creeping horror]] of comrades simply ''disappearing'' out of nowhere, or wounds so empty they don't even bleed.

* The purple Core Medals in ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' run on the desire of nothingness. [[spoiler: Which is why it sought out TheHero Eiji, whose lack of desires allowed him to become OOO, and why Dr Maki, desiring an end to everything (i.e., making everything nothing) is a suitable vessel.]]
** [[spoiler: Furthermore, their powers work in the aforementioned way, split down the middle: Eiji's powers as Putotyra revolve around AnIcePerson, while Maki's TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt plans factor into his Yummies once he becomes a Greeed, as they annihilate people's desires. During the final battle, Eiji uses the purple Medals to perform a FinishingMove that creates a black hole, killing Maki and sucking in all but one of the Medals.]]
* The Virgo Zodiarts in ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' flings around miniature black holes which leave perfectly smooth holes in whatever they touch.
* Kamen Rider Falchion, wielder of the Mumeiken Kyomu in ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'', is known as the Void Swordsman, which seems to manifest as [[PowerNullifier the ability to negate the powers of the other Holy Swords.]]

* In the series 2 finale of the revived ''Series/DoctorWho'' the Doctor uses the void between two universes to defeat invading Dalek and Cyberman armies as the "void residue" that clings to everything that has traveled through it is attracted by it. How a void leaves residue is left to the imagination of the viewer.

* ''TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion'' also has beings called Neverborn which seek to destroy reality. The force they serve is tellingly called "Oblivion."

* ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'' presents Edamiel, a Beryl -godlike entity of light- who embraced oblivion and nihilism, and the Etrien Gnosos which is this trope with FaceMonsterTurn added; and played straight with Ildabaoth Veda (bonus points for being both a CreepyChild and a [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white haired]] pretty girl).
** In the [[NoExportforYou (currently in Spanish only)]] ''Arcana Exxet'' one of the subschools of magic (appropriately named ''Void'') lets the player use the power of the Void.

* "Void" is one of the types of heroes in ''Ascension'': their abilities focus on removing your own cards from play, which is nifty for thinning out your deck.
* While Deceiver, Warmain and Mimic Excrucians in ''TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}}'' mostly deal in twisting reality against itself, the Strategists are TheChampion for oblivion - and their signature power, the World-Breaker's Hand, is used to simply unmake whatever it strikes, or strip qualities from those things.
* Touched upon slightly above- in the ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'' RPG, there are actually two "Powers of the Void."
** The first is the Void, which symbolizes both the presence and absence of the Elements, which players may tap into through "Void Points" (or, for certain rare shugenja, through special Void Spells). This is more of an [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of the trope, since the Void isn't actually anti-existence; indeed, all existence ''emerged'' from the Void.
** The second is the Nothing, AKA [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Lying Darkness]], which much more closely resembles this trope. Unlike the Void, the Nothing possesses neither form nor substance, and seeks to unmake all reality by eroding its laws. [[spoiler: So, of course, the Scorpion Clan went and [[IdiotBall harnessed its power anyway,]] accidentally corrupting many of its most promising ninja with the Shadow magic of ''tejina.'']]
* Introduced in Book of the Dead, ''TabletopGame/GeistTheSinEaters'' have the Pit Manifestations, which work by taking an aspect of the victim away. For example, using the [[BlowYouAway Cold Wind]] Pit robs the victim from the ability to breathe, [[PlayingWithFire Pyre-Flame]] Pit makes the victim unable to draw warmth from any heat source, Passion Pit sends the victim into a DespairEventHorizon. This is the most feared Manifestation to run afoul of, and the sheer ''wrongness'' of it [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique makes it a Synergy 7 sin just to use.]]

* Played interestingly in ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'' with the Void Creature and Void Stone, which give extra coins if next to ''empty spaces on the slots.'' If there's no empty spaces around them, [[PuffOfLogic they destroy themselves.]] To a lesser extent, there is the Lemon item, which gives one coin per empty space on this roll; and to a grander one, there's the Void Portal, which gives one coin each turn per symbol destroyed in the game.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', [[WhenTreesAttack Exdeath's]] whole plan and eventual goals revolve around his beloved Void. When he finally gets control of it, he manifests the power in the form of generating black hole-like portals into the Void, which he uses to engulf large chunks of continents, and he ''might'' be channelling the power of things trapped within the Void. In the end, the Void engulfs him and spits him back out as an OmnicidalManiac called Neo-Exdeath.

* ''VideoGame/AHouseOfManyDoors'': Abjah the God-Shaped Void isn't exactly a god, but rather, a void shaped like a god. Worshipers can see the effects of her miracles eating away at the world, but cannot see her effigies directly.

* A recurring element of Creator/BlackIsleStudios / Creator/ObsidianEntertainment [=RPGs=]:
** Darth Nihilus from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords''. If his name doesn't say it all, he's also implied to be "void" and has potentially the ability to become a "black hole" for all sentient life.
*** [[spoiler: The Exile]] too, is eventually revealed to be in a similar situation. [[spoiler:You never really gained your connection to the Force back, and instead suck it from those around you through the Force bonds you create.]]
** ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Mask of the Betrayer'' involves this as well. [[spoiler: Akachi's soul became the spirit-eater curse after being ripped from the Wall of the Faithless, and subsequently seeks to consume everything in order to fill its own emptiness.]]
** Void is also associated with The Nameless One from ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''. [[spoiler:Because he is stripped of his mortality and has forgotten himself, The Nameless One is a void in the planes -- he cannot be found by the use of scrying magic or similar, and each time he dies [[BalancingDeathsBooks another being in the multiverse dies in his place]].]]

* Void is the Japanese name for the Non-Elemental element in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon''. It's most prominently wielded by game anti-villain / anti-hero Lloyd.

* One of the secret [[MagicalGirl Lumen]] characters in ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'' has this as a powerset.
--> [[spoiler: Lucille, Countess of Nix]]: My power isn't like your power, little princess. I control the ''absence'' of things. Sound. Light. Life.
* In ''VideoGame/LEGOUniverse'', the Darkitect controls the Maelstrom, which is the embodiment of destruction itself.
* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2'', one of Dracula's new weapons is the Void Sword. It is the embodiment of the void in Dracula's own heart after he forsook his humanity. It is a 'vampiric' weapon that replenishes Dracula's health by draining his foe's. The Void Sword can also launch void projections which drain the heat from their targets, freezing them.
* In ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'', elemental magic is powered by the six moons. The silver moon gives Void magic, which grants the user power over life and death.

* Void is one of the three types of elemental damage in ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'' and [[VideoGame/Destiny2 its sequel]]. The games' lore links it to dark energy (the physics concept), the vacuum between stars, and black holes.
* The ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' makes use of this, mostly in reference to Ryu and Gouken. ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' revealed that Gouken [[OnlyMostlyDead didn't actually die]] as was previously said and was merely rendered comatose by [[CainAndAbel Akuma]]'s Shun Goku Satsu because he emptied his heart and mind of all thoughts just before it hit. After recovering, Gouken masters the Power of Nothingness and teaches it to Ryu to help him overcome the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Satsui no Hadou]] within his heart. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' Ryu has mastered the Power of Nothingness and [[spoiler:defeats M.Bison once and for all by hitting him with a void-powered [[KamehameHadoken Hadoken]] that destroys his evil energy from the inside out.]]
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, this is the realm of Sithis. Sithis is a force that represents void, change, chaos, and limitation. Sithis is sometimes anthropomorphized by various groups, including the [[MurderInc Dark Brotherhood]], which operates in direct service to their "Dread Father" Sithis and who seek to serve him "in the Void" after death, and the Hist, a race of [[TimeAbyss ancient]], [[WiseTree sentient]], and possibly {{omniscient}} trees native to the Black Marsh who are said to "acknowledge" Sithis as the original creator of the universe. Sithis is venerated by many other cultures throughout Tamriel as well as a force of change, though outright worship is rare.
* Void Walker demons from ''VideoGame/NexusClash'' are shadow creatures that draw on the power of the void to remove themselves from physical existence, enabling them to ignore physical boundaries and distances, become invisible, and bypass armor. The only downside of this is that it leaves them as fragile wisps that are [[GlassCannon unprotected]] from physical harm.
* In ''Videogame/{{Warframe}}'', technically ''every'' Warframe uses this, as the Warframes are conduits of power from the Void, a logic-defying alternate reality serving as a source of power and energy used by the Tenno. However, the true power of the Void is wielded by [[spoiler:the Operator, the human half of the Tenno who remotely controls the Warframe; when the Operator activates their Transference ability, they manifest in person and can launch beams and bursts of destructive Void energy that are unique in that there is nothing in the game able to resist the damage, making them ideal for killing the highly-adaptive Sentients]].
** In fact, supplementary lore in-game outright states [[spoiler: that the Sentients simply cannot adapt to the Void's energies. It's described as "like poison" to them, which is reflected in its ability to erase whatever resistances the Sentients' AdaptiveAbility has created. Since travel through the Void was the fastest way to reach Tau Ceti, where the Sentients were sent to colonize, any Sentient that travels back through the Void was rendered sterile, unable to replicate. This is why they had to take the much longer route back to the Origin System.]]
* In the second ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' game, the dark purple Murian soldiers wield this "element", as Geo adresses them as "Ye born of Nothing".
* From ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', we have the [[PersonOfMassDestruction Herrscher of the Void]] (as if the name didn't tip you off), who combines this trope with SpaceMaster. Many of their abilities include attacking via pockets of distorted space, ThinkingUpPortals, dragging unlucky foes into the Imaginary Space to have their way with them and even creating ''[[UnrealisticBlackHole minature black holes]]''. There's a good reason why the only effective solution Shicksal had at the time of its first uprising was to [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill obliterate their surrounding area with dozens and dozens of anti-Honkai ballistic super missiles]].
* Void Spirit in ''VideoGame/Dota2'' uses the power of the void to blast enemies with magical damage. He is the eldest of the four Spirit Brothers, the rest of whom wield [[DishingOutDirt more]] [[PlayingWithFire mundane]] [[ShockAndAwe elements]].
* The Luna element works this way in ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'' being between Sol (the power of life, hope, and the sun) and Hel (the power of death, hate, and darkness) and being a representation of eternity, neutrality, and the moon. The Luna Lens consumes no energy and can even fire on an empty battery, but inflicts no damage to enemies and thus can only be used to flinch them (or stun if you level it up to 3), activate switches, or draw out solar bugs.
* It's more of an InformedAttribute, but the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIITreeckoToSharpedo Gardevoir]] is stated in its [=PokéDex=] Entry to create miniature black holes to get rid of anybody who tries to get close to its trainer.

* Literature/SailorNothing has this as her power. It manifests as dissolving the enemies she fights into sheer nonexistence, and when she uses this power, it requires her to suppress all emotions and thought, and feel nothing.

* The Void in ''Podcast/{{Hello From the Magic Tavern}}'' is an expanding force of nonexistence, which draws power from banality and loss of hope and threatens every universe. Spintax, quite reasonably, considers it to be a ''far'' greater threat than the {{Dark Lord}}; fortunately, it can be countered by performing any sort of creative act, which Usidore gets across with the hashtag [=#FillTheVoid=].
* ''Podcast/{{Voyage to the Stars}}'' eventually settles into a {{myth arc}} about our heroes' attempts to defeat the Nothing, a giant and expanding region of, well, nothing. The characters themselves [[{{lampshade hanging}} notice]] how similar it is to ''Literature/{{The Neverending Story}}''.

* Auntie Matter from ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' evokes this, being able to transmute her body into a black hole.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'', the power of Destruction manifests like this. It isn't evil, because it isn't ''anything''. Whatever the holder touches disappears as if it never existed. The goal of [[spoiler:Chat Blanc]], a holder who turned to villainy, is to [[PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery end his pain]] by making the world as empty as his heart feels.
