Franklin Richards is legit one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel universe.

[@Reddotzebra]

He's been retconned to not be a mutant, apparently he wanted to be a mutant so badly that his reality warping powers made it seem like he had the X-gene. Although I suppose it would be super easy for the writers to say at any time "Nah, he was always a mutant, Xavier just lied to his face because he didn't think he would agree with the stuff they got on with on the Council."

Makes no sense for him NOT to be a Mutant. By very definition he was born with powers smh.

[@fro-zone2k]

@@michaelthomas4249 I know, those who were born with superpowers are consider mutants & those who got their powers from OTT shenanigans are considered mutates or metahumans. And since Franklin was born with his powers, he's a mutant!

[@robertciesialka5495]

Those two pages of the Symbiote hypnotizing Franklin have been in my head for decades since I first read them in that comic. The artwork was always there but never the writing, and I could never remember if it was a single thing, if it was resolved in a series I didn't read at the time, or was just simply forgotten about. Thanks for reminding me after all these years. I can finally live in peace.

Thank you for covering the ones greatest creative force in comics and now someone that Marvel tries to ignore and forget ever existed I was a lukewarm John Byrne fan as a comic reader of the 70s and 80s. Now, he’s so much more comparing what comics are today and what they’ve become.

[@Zidbits]

John Byrne is such an underrated guy. His run on Superman was great. The artwork was excellent too.

[@Andarovin]

It's important to remember that Franklin beats the ass of your favorite marvel hero, with very few exceptions

[@toddkurzbard]

There was another issue of the Fantastic Four somewhat earlier that Franklin had immense power: In that issue, Franklin's powers were building up, to an "overload". He was unconscious, and the power kept building and building, until he threatened to destroy the Universe (or something). Reed, realizing the catastrophe that was about to happen, pulled out some kind of gun thingy he'd invented, and zapped Franklin with it. This "turned off" Franklin, but left him in what seemed to be a permanent catatonic state. Needless to say, Sue was Not Pleased. She t5ook Franklin's body, said to Reed, "Reed how could you? He was your son", and separated from Reed for a time (they reunited eventually).
