From the moment The Fantastic Four: First Steps was announced, I knew Franklin Richards would play into the plot. The request suggests that Franklin is anything but normal, which supports the fan theory that Franklin’s reality-warping comic book powers will appear in First Steps. But his powers aren’t as straightforward as those of other mutants: he can create and alter entire universes, a power on par with the Celestials. Of course, there’s no way Franklin’s parents will stand for that, which will make their fight personal. It appears to be what thrusts the entire planet into danger, and it might possibly introduce the most powerful mutant in Marvel history as well.
