It ws mentioned that Franklin would be a nice addition to a few young hero teams if he was alloud to age abit. An it got me going and thinking. Frankilin is as cloes to a god in mortal form as it gets.

Recreating Galactus, pocket universes, dispersing Mephisto ect are just CRAZY powerful feats. And I was thinking, this kids need to have some more stories focused around him. So, if YOU were writing orreading about Franklin and the FF, what kind of stories and guest apperences would you really want to see. For instance.

Guest Apperences-

Apocolypes:
How has he NOT, made a play for Franklin? Maybe turning the FF into his Four Horsemen.

Dark Avengers (gag): They have to have records on the kid. A kid that can wipe everyone out with a thought and NO ONE in the goverment is trying to cage him?

The Shiar an other suck aliens:
They got mad Reed let Galactus live, well Franklin brought him back to life. Or other races that think they "know better"

Training:
Forget Professor X he's just outta his leauge here... When you got God-like power, you need a God-like teacher. Zeus or Odin anybody? Kid Zeus might make a neat friend to have shananagins with. Maybe Thanos, lol? How nuts would that be?! Maybe a cosmic being take a human form to help... Hmmmmm

Teams/Team Ups:
Maybe he does join a team, but which one and why? What would THEY bring to the table. I mean, this is a powerful kid and would make any team over kill. More adventure with Uncle Ben. Team-ups with other Omega level type kid mutants like Molly Hayes. An Im gonna again say Kid Zeus, lol. Some team of just uber powerful kids trying to play hero. They fight the bad guys... Before bed time, lol.

I think these could make for some great stories to me. Plus his family deals with cosmic type events (at least they used to), it just fits for me. Any thoughts?

Meh, have to be honest, the only Franklin stories I like are the Calvin and Hobbes style Son of a Genius stories, so if I were reading or writing them, in either case those are the types of stories I'd go with.

Those kinds of stories are 'too silly' for the serious business Marvel Universe 616, dog. They gots to keep it real and street-level with the alien invasions and magic gangstas with enchanted hoods haunted by demons with heads made of fire, yo.

I'm not sure Franklin has to age much to be on a team, as he's already been in Power Pack. He can team up with Valeria, and he and Katie Power are the same age, maybe throw in Molly or Klara from Runaways, or Luna from the Inhumans, get a Fantastic Four and a Half going as a backup for the main book in a kind of price hike blow-softening - you'd have the basic team dynamic in place going in, with a smart one (Valeria), a bruiser (Molly), the feminine voice of reason (Katie), and the impulsive wannabe hero (Franklin). I'd totally buy that comic, especially with Power Pack dead in the water as long as Loners is still being pushed.

I'm pretty sure Apocalypse kidnapped Franklin in an X-Men title one of those times Scott Summers died 'but it later turned out he didn't'. Something to do with the Twelve, or possibly just similar to the Twelve scenario.

Not familiar with the Twelve? Was this during the time when Franklin was living at the X-school? Because I dont think I really read to much of him during that time.

NEVERMIND... I shoulda just did the research. I still never read it. But Im familiar with the story.

Similar to the Twelve, but Nate Summers was among the people Apocalypse kidnapped and the Twelve predates his creation and introduction to the Marvel Universe, so I'm not sticking my neck out. It was an Alan Davis-penned tale, and I think it was the Y2K X-story.
