Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel's most powerful hero just made a grand return, as Fantastic Four rewrites years of comic lore. Franklin Richards is the son of Reed Richards and Susan Storm - a wildly powerful reality-warper who can create entire new universes in moments. However, recent comics have made big changes to Franklin, removing his powers, rewriting their origin, and putting his awe-inspiring cosmic purpose in question.
Fantastic Four just made it official: Franklin Richards never lost his powers, he's still safeguarding Earth, and he can be Powerhouse again whenever he wants. Franklin unlocking his powers once a year has an interesting mirror in his uncle Ben Grimm, aka the Thing, who is able to return to his human form for 24 hours once a year.
In Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's Immortal Hulk #24, Franklin Richards is described as the "anointed prince" predestined to be the last living human. Given the way that Marvel's cosmic events shape reality - and the way Franklin's origin has fluctuated over the years - it now seems more likely that in this case, cause is following effect.
The new retcon that Franklin limited his own powers changes all this, but also fits in perfectly with the last half-decade of stories - indeed, it even makes some moments better. In 2021's Fantastic Four #28 , the cosmic being known as the Griever at the End of All Things hinted that Franklin would eventually regain his powers and live until the collapse of the multiverse.
