Bedlam is a King in Black and a temporal offshoot of Eddie Brock. As a result of Meridius's manipulations of time, Bedlam was born after Eddie's memories were stolen by Chasm, reverting his mind to the time he wished to exact revenge on Spider-Man. He eventually fought the original Eddie Brock, who had regained his memories, and after being defeated by him Bedlam decided to bond with Eddie in order to fight Meridius and protect their son.
