Due to lack of official information, this article/section may contain speculation and/or fan interpretations
Some information on this page may therefore be partially incorrect or factually incorrect.

In the beginning, there was Nothing. then, in a burst of pure creation, the Zero Point sprang into being.[3]
Batman/Fortnite: Foundation

The Nothing is the malevolent cosmic entity ruling The Army of The Last Reality that was first introduced during Season X. It is the first primordial entity in existence before the birth of The Zero Point[4] and is the incarnation of the pure Nothingness that existed before the creation of The Omniverse. It's goal is to annihilate all realities so that only it remains.

It is a major antagonist in Fortnite, acting as the overarching antagonist of Fortnite: Battle Royale.

Overview[]

The Nothing is a self aware cosmic entity and the counterpart of The Zero Point, embodying the pure nothingness that existed before the Omniverse, while the later embodies pure creation. Seemingly unable to act by itself on The Omniverse, it founded The Army of the Last Reality, a group formed of beings mainly from The Last Reality, and other beings created or chosen by them in order to destroy The Omniverse.

Appearance[]

Nothing is known about the true appearance of the Nothing, or even if it has a physical form. During Season X, it appeared in the form of a Black Hole.

During Bytes Quests, The Nothing speaks through a Chromeified TV.

Personality[]

The Nothing speaks in a sinister male voice, speaking rather slowly in an exaggerated manner, articulating all words. It is looking for worthy individuals; it uses its skills at manipulation to guide them down a path of darkness that takes away their identity and heralds them a useful asset by giving them Chrome powers. The only known individuals chosen by The Nothing thus far has become members of The Army of the Last Reality.

History[]

Big Bang - Comic - Fortnite

The Big Bang[]

Originally there was absolutely Nothing, however without warning there was "Something". The Zero Point appeared and created countless realities. However, that complete nothingness that was once there had a will of its own. Wishing to return everything to its original state where only it exists, it started to predate The Zero Point and The Omniverse. For this, it formed The Army of the Last Reality under unclear circumstances, and under its orders they began to annihilate one reality after another, all while searching for The Zero Point.

Fortnite: Save The World[]

In Save the World's Reality, The Nothing manifested itself as a type of corruption originating from The Storm, being omnipresent in Storm King's Realm. It striked Homebase, making people feel lazy, consuming them with existential dread and making them feels lifeless during Remote Control and Signal Strength quests.

It was revealed in Bandwidth Issues that Dr. Vinderman was aware of the existence of The Nothing along with The Storm King, backed up with multiple weapon plans that were lost.

Unknown Time Period[]

Batman vs Foundation - Batman Foundation - Fortnite

One day, in unknown circumstances, The Foundation found himself in The Nothing. His armor allowed him to survive for a time in it.[5]

Season X[]

In an attempt to contain The Zero Point, The Seven turned the whole Reality into Nothing because of a miscalculation

"I was not alone, others are outside the loop, this was not calculated, The Nothing is now inevitable."[6]

Chapter 3: Season 4[]

During Bytes Quests, Bytes was chosen by The Nothing itself to be warrior for The Last Reality. In the Paradise Quests, The Paradigm mentioned The Nothing, however the audio is mostly unintelligible. The Herald would eventually destroy the majority of the island in Fracture event.

Chapter 4: Season 1[]

AMIE's test subjects sent through test rifts encountered "It" sculpting The Scientist and the others into something new. The test subjects returned to AMIE corrupted with new forms.

Chapter 4: Season OG: The Big Bang[]

After the meteor stuck the Zero Point, everything turned into Nothing just like The End event, but only for a short period of time. The Zero Point sprang into being again and caused a new Big Bang.

Trivia[]

Speculation Trivia[]

  • It is suggested that the connection between The Zero Point and The Nothing might be greater than what we think, and that they may just be two sides of the same coin, similar to the One Above All and One Below All in Marvel.
  • Some clues suggest that The Nothing and the The Shapeless Man may be the same entity.
    • Neither entity appears to have a physical body.
    • Both have observed and chosen individuals (Bytes and Rift Warden Stellan respectively) to help them in their objectives by manipulating them.
    • Among the dreams The Shapeless Man showed to Stellan, one was about stars swallowed in darkness, reminding how The Nothing wants to destroy The Omniverse by destroying every reality.
    • The Nothing is theorized to be the entity who manipulated Raz dreams since his childhood to make him visit The Spire and fall to Darkness, just like The Shapeless Man did with young Stellan.
      • However, other elements seem to indicate that The Shapeless Man would in fact not be The Nothing, but Geno due to an element he had mentionned to Stellan "He always said he imagined a world of perfect order. -Stellan."
