Franklin Richards becomes a cosmic-scale reality-warping being. Over the years in the comics, he evolves from a baby with extraordinary potential into one of Marvel’s most powerful characters, eventually presenting as or approaching a near-omnipotent, reality-manipulating figure who can create or reshape universes, protect Earth, and influence the multiverse. In various stories, his maturation and control of powers are central plot elements, sometimes taking him into adult form or alternate timelines, and at other times depicting him as a child with tempered, carefully managed abilities.
