“ | The Null Void. An alternate dimension where the galaxy's worst-of-the-worst are banished. | ” |
The Null Void is an alternate dimension that is not part of the branching timestream.[DJW 1] Null Guardians are the guards of this dimension.
Accessibility[]
Access to the Null Void is typically achieved through the use of a device known as the "Null Void Projector," which creates a portal between dimensions. During their tenure in the Plumbers, Max Tennyson and his former partner Phil Billings owned one such projector, and used it to trap thousands of aliens within the Null Void.[2]
A Null Void Grenade can automatically send anyone unprotected in blast radius to the Null Void.[3][4]
Gwen Tennyson is able to temporarily open portals to the Null Void.[4]
There are naturally occurring "soft spots" in the cosmos leading into the Null Void, but they normally don't lead back out.[DJW 2]
History[]
Background[]
The Null Void was a pocket dimension used by the Galvan and other species as a prison for the most dangerous beings in the universe. It would later be populated with settlers and criminal descendants.[4]
At some point, Luna Lobo was once warped into the Null Void for a few years due to a major teleportation accident.[pop-up 1][5]
Caesar Salazar unknowingly sent Alpha to the Null Void from another universe, under the impression he had sent the nanite to an empty space.[6]
Ragnarok was arrested a few years before the events of Alien Force.[7]
Ben 10[]
In Truth, Phil was sent to the Null Void after a scam involving recapturing aliens he had released. Five years prior to Omniverse, he was sent back after mutating into a hybrid during a test for the Nemetrix.[8]
In Back with a Vengeance, Ben Tennyson, Vilgax and Kevin Levin were dropped into the Null Void. Gwen and Max Tennyson later saved Ben while Kevin and Vilgax were left behind.
Alien Force[]
Sometime between the Original Series and Alien Force, Dr. Animo got stuck in the Null Void. Likewise, Pierce Wheels accidentally sent himself to the Null Void.
In Plumbers' Helpers, Helen Wheels and Manny Armstrong sent themselves to the Null Void to liberate the aliens they wrongfully imprisoned.
In Voided, Dr. Animo had seized control of the Null Void and attempted to break into the main dimension using a Kormite-powered drill, but he was defeated by Ben, Max, Helen, Pierce, Manny, and others.
In War of the Worlds: Part 2, Max, Manny, Helen, and Pierce were released from the Null Void.
In Singlehanded, Sunder was sent to the Null Void.
Ultimate Alien[]
Sometime after The Forge of Creation, Aggregor was sent to the Null Void after being defeated by Ultimate Kevin.[9]
Prior to Absolute Power: Part 1, Ultimate Kevin absorbed Viktor's before dumping him into the Null Void. Under unknown circumstances, Viktor escaped and made his way to Earth.[10]
In The Transmogrification of Eunice, Sunder was released from the Null Void by Azmuth so he could retrieve Eunice.
Prior to Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United, Alpha possessed an alien cyborg and escaped the Null Void, making his way to the main universe before eventually returning to his home universe. After being defeated by Ben and Generator Rex, Murk Upchuck returned Alpha to the Null Void on his way back to his universe.
Omniverse[]
At some point prior to The More Things Change: Part 1, Bubble Helmet was sent to the Null Void[11] for shoplifting a 30,000,000 Tayden item.[DJW 3] He was eventually released by Psyphon to become a member of his gang.
Landscape[]
The Null Void's landscape is always changing, making it impossible to know where one is going.[pop-up 2][1] However, it generally consists of various geographic formations and shattered structures floating randomly in endless space.

Trivia[]
- The Null Void seems to be a horrifying place to most characters:
- The Null Void has become even more dangerous ever since the Way Bads were incarcerated there during the events of The Frogs of War: Part 2.[16][17]
- All of the aliens imprisoned by the Plumbers' Helpers who haven't been freed are still in the Null Void.[DM 8]
- The Null Void is similar to both the Negative Zone from Marvel Comics and the Phantom Zone from DC Comics.
- Derrick J. Wyatt believed that there is only one Null Void shared across the cosmos.[DJW 4] Therefore, it is possible that the reboot and classic Null Void technically are the same place.[DR 1]
- It is theoretically possible for one to jump from one universe to another via the Null Void.[DR 2] much like what happened with Ben when he travelled to and from the Generator Rex Universe.[6]
