Years ago, Robert Reynolds was a junkie who broke into a lab to find some drugs. When he downed a vial of an experimental liquid, instead of getting high, he was endowed with godlike energy. If he were to unleash all his strength at once, it would have the same force as a million exploding Suns.

Believing he was given these powers for a purpose, he became the superhero, The Sentry. As time went on, he became scared that a day would come when he would mishandle his strength.

Because of this, he hid himself away and tried not to use his power. Unfortunately, living in solitude for years caused him to develop schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Due to his instability, he created another identity called the Void. The Void encapsulates every fear that Reynolds has and it contains all his power at its most dangerous and uncontrollable.

After Bullseye murdered his wife, the Sentry lost his grip with reality and fully embraced the Void. In a moment of madness, he destroyed Asgard and killed Ares and Loki. When Reynolds momentarily took regained control of his body, he ordered Thor to kill him. The God of Thunder reluctantly obliged.
