Manifold found himself in Wakanda, where he aided in stopping the revolts against Black Panther, who now considered him a close friend and valuable ally. He also developed a budding romance with the returned Princess Shuri. He soon traveled with T'Challa to meet with the Emperor of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, however both were captured and had their memories wiped. Manifold was brainwashed and forced to serve the Empire as a brutal killing machine enforcer, but was eventually freed and rejoined T'Challa and his forces against the empire.

Later on, it would be revealed that Destiny's abilities allowed her to see a vision about Manifold becoming essential to the future of Krakoa and the survival of mutantkind, and tasked her daughter and son-in-law Rogue and Gambit to bring him to her. Manifold, who was preoccupied with investigating the disappearances of many criminals and found Destiny's conditions unreasonable, refused to come with them. The couple offered to assist him, as a way to keep an eye on him. However, this would lead to Manifold unfortunately being kidnapped by the Power Broker. By the time Rogue and Gambit were able to track him down, it was too late, and Eden along with the other prisoners were held captive under mind control through a device that kills the wearer when removed. Despite the rest of the hostages being freed, Eden's device was not removed and he was kept away in a pod by Destiny to help prevent a future crisis.
Powers and abilities
Eden's mutation allows him to bend reality, fold and twist space-time, and speak with the very universe. Daisy Johnson described him as a "souped-up teleporter".[4] Eden's portals stay open until he chooses to close them. It was recently revealed that Eden actually talks to space and is described as a quintician. Abigail Brand reported that Eden asks space to do things for him, such as fold so he can walk across and essentially teleport, ask space to bend light around him rendering him invisible, and even teleport solar plasma from the sun to his hand.[13]
Other versions
In an unnamed alternate reality, Caucasian version of Manifold (wearing the same costume as Eden) appears in Wakanda alongside the villainess Black Swan. Black Swan later kills this Manifold after his teleportation abilities cease to function.[15] In the following issue, she refers to her actions as a mercy killing, stating that a Manifold is unable to use their abilities once they leave their universe.[16]
