-Eden "Manifold" Fesi is a new-ish Jonathan Hickman creation who debuted in his "Secret Warriors" run (a book that led
to a lot of his later stuff, but didn't appear to have been read by many), and later got brought in to later Hickman stuff.
A super-Teleporter who was related to the mutant Gateway, and was thus an Australian Aborigine. He's mainly a means
to an end in the stories- during most of Hickman's huge space-faring tale, he's just there Teleporting the heroes all
over the place. His only other purpose was to stand there and go "... woah, this is big" sort of like a "Fan's Eye View"
character would, but only for a couple pages. That's... kind of what a lot of new Hickman characters ended up doing in
that story. It was full of terrific moments, but he lost a LOT of ground on both clarity and characterization, as it was
just kind of a bunch of unexplained STUFF happening.

-All of this means that Manifold, while INSANELY expensive, is pretty hopeless in direct combat, being way under-
powered offensively & defensively unless he's Teleporting people at PL 12 levels. In terms of raw distance and
Teleportational ability, he's unmatched outside of Cosmic Beings. At one point Captain America asks him to Teleport
two massive ships into each other, which he could theoretically do with regularity- this is effectively a Perception-
Ranged Damage Effect with COLOSSAL ranks, pushing him to PL 16-ish.
