As the rest of the Fantastic Four mourn her, Reed puts their son on her chest to say goodbye, and then he miraculously resuscitates her. The parents spend most of the movie worried that Franklin might be some kind of monster like Galactus,

Marvel Studios is taking taking the MCU in a wild direction with The Fantastic Four: First Steps , and the biggest reveal yet is the introduction of Franklin Richards, one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics history.

Franklin Richards is an important character for the future of the MCU – and if it’s faithful to the comics, he’ll be incredibly powerful.

First Steps introduces the world to Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and The Thing, but there's one other character of importance.

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reveals why Franklin Richards was introduced in the MCU's first Fantastic Four movie.

Franklin’s powers allowed him to create the universe, dimensions, avoid mind control, and every other cool power you can think of. Franklin Richards is considered a Beyond Omega Level mutant, and he is the only one in that category, making him the most powerful mutant on Earth.

While none of the previous onscreen adaptations of the Fantastic Four included the super-powered baby, director Matt Shakman tells Entertainment Weekly that it was always his plan to debut Franklin into the MCU.

First Steps has sparked intense online discussion following its post-credit scene featuring Franklin Richards, the infant son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm.

If you thought that the Fantastic Four were badass, then knowing about what Franklin Richards can do will horrify you beyond belief.
