History
Little is detailed about Franklin’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Franklin Richards (Earth-616).
Supposedly securely protected from the zombie threat while the Fantastic Four are away, Franklin and his sister Valeria are killed by a zombified She-Hulk, who has knowledge of the access codes.
Later, his father uses a hologram of him to fool an alternate reality Reed into traveling to this reality.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Franklin Richards is a mutant with vast psionic powers. When Franklin achieves the conscious use of his full powers, he will have telepathic powers, tremendous telekinetic powers, the ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts, and the ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter and energy, even up to a cosmic scale. His powers are so great that he has been compared to the Celestials, rather than other mutants. In terms of unrealized potential, Franklin was generally considered for years to be the most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe, surpassing even Charles Xavier and Magneto.
Reality Manipulation (latent): ability to manipulate reality itself. Nigh-omnipotent reality warping powers on a potentially infinite level, even up to a cosmic scale. His abilities are so great that he can create “pocket” universes in alternate realties. (A pocket universe is a cosmos that does not equal our own in size).
- Molecular Manipulation: ability to rearrange the molecular structure of matter, even up to a cosmic scale.
Telepathy (latent): He can read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 250 miles (on Earth). With extreme effort he can greatly extend that radius. His notable abilities include:
- Telepathic Illusion: ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
- Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
- Mind Link: ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
- Telepathic Camouflage: ability to mask himself, and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more detailed disguising).
- Mind Control: ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration.
- Mind Possession: ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as his own.
- Mind Alteration: ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.
- Mental Amnesia: ability to cause loss of particular memories, and amnesia in another person or even in a group of people.
- Psionic Shield: ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others minds.
- Psionic Blasts: can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.
- Astral Projection: ability to Astral Travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the astral realm, where he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. He cannot engage in long range astral projection on the earthly plane.
- Mental Detection: can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
- Mind Transferal: able to transfer both his mind and powers into other host bodies should his own physical body be somehow killed.
Telekinesis (latent): possesses telekinetic abilities enabling him to levitate and manipulate living beings, inanimate objects, and to some extent energy psionically. He can “lift” as much as 10 tons of weight and possibly even more and can enable himself to “fly” at great speed.
- Bio-Blasts: ability to fire enormously powerful energy blasts which he generates from his bodies extrasensory potential.
Precognitive Dreams (latent): precognitive abilities, which manifest themselves in his dreams, enabling him to envision possible future events. Although there are countless possible futures, Franklin foresees the most probable future path, and therefore his predictions usually come true. Franklin seemingly cannot foresee events more than roughly a few days in the future. Franklin's precognitive power developed to the point at which he could see images of future events when conscious.
Dream-Self Projection (latent): ability to place himself in a trance-like state which remaining fully conscious. While he is in this trance, he can project an intangible, ghostlike image of himself to another location, through which he can see and hear what goes on at the location. What Franklin has called the “dreams” he has while in this state are not truly dreams, but his conscious awareness of the environment into which he has projected his “dream-self.”
Franklin Richards has imposed mental blocks within his own mind to prevent him from using most of his psionic potential while he is still such a young child. It is possible that the strength of these blocks has faded over time, or that they cannot prevent him from utilizing his full powers unconsciously, as he did in creating an alternate reality. The mental blocks also work only when Franklin is in his physical body; his astral form can apparently use all of his psionic potential if it has separated from his physical form.
Strength level
Franklin Richards possesses the normal human strength of a boy of his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
