 According to Doctor Destiny, the Materioptikon has the ability to reshape reality, but it is flawed, anyone who enters the gem automatically generates multiple physical copies from multiple possible universes, splitting that person up among these universes.Also according to Doctor Destiny space and time was never meant to do this, using the gem in this fashion threatens the spacetime continuum.Destiny created special tools that re-integrate his own multiples and those of anyone else who enters the gem.
