Everyone knows who the Fantastic Four is. They’re Marvel’s first family, one of the original superhero teams, and the first one to show any disfunction. You already know that Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman were in a relationship, and you probably know that they got married too. And from that information, if you didn’t know already, you could probably infer that they had a child. Well, what if I told you that that child was probably the most powerful individual in the entire Marvel Universe by the time he was four years old. Let me introduce you to Franklin Richards.

If you remember my earlier post about Vulcan, we briefly discussed Omega-Level Mutants. Well, Franklin is beyond Omega-Level. To put his abilities simply, he can warp reality. He’s aged himself to adulthood and back to childhood, he permanently lit the Sub-Mariner on fire in another timeline (yes, even underwater), and created a pocket universe for people to live in. He’s so powerful, the world eater Galactus considers this child his equal.

For the longest time, people didn’t know how powerful he truly was, he would just have random outbursts of power from time to time. But the older he got, the more control he seemed to possess. It’s a good thing his parents are heroes, or else the universe would probably be doomed.

Currently, as a preteen or young teenager, Franklin has started using the moniker of Powerhouse. He’s used more sparingly in comics in comparison to most characters, because he could obviously just solve everyone’s problems. However, despite being a god amongst men, Franklin’s still rather down to earth and is an energetic and fun child. He’s only ever interested in what’s best for others. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have a rebellious phase.
