In Mark Waid’s History of the Marvel Universe #3, Marvel has finally officially revealed who the most powerful mutant in the universe is. And no it’s not Wolverine, Jean Grey or Professor X. It’s Franklin Richards.
The revelation comes from Galactus, who should be considered a reliable source considering his cosmic awareness. It seems the Devourer of Worlds believes that Franklin Richards, a mutant beyond Omega-Level, deserves the honour of being titled the most powerful mutant of all time.
Of course, this shouldn’t come as a big surprise to comic book fans. Franklin Richards has long been considered one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe.
Over the years, several cosmic entities, including Galactus, Eternity, Infinity, Omniversal Guardian Roma and Omniversal Majestrix Opal Luna Saturnyne, have described Richards as a “being whom the Celestials felt was on par with themselves” and the most powerful mutant of all time.
The son of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four, Franklin Richards, who grows up to join the X-Men, possesses the power to warp reality and make his thoughts come to fruition. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #6 way back in November 1968.
Unlike Scarlet Witch, Franklin Richards’ powers manifested when he was very young and continued to grow at an incredible rate. Over the years, he has managed to create entire universes and protect Earth from cosmic threats. There are even some fans who are convinced that Franklin Richards actually controls the entirety of the Marvel Universe.
So there you have it. Hopefully, we can now all agree and end the debate once and for all. Franklin Richards is the most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe.
The History of the Marvel Universe #3 series chronicles the history of the Marvel worlds, from the Big Bang to the twilight of existence, attempting to answer some of the important questions fans have had over the years. The final issue (#6) released on December 18, 2019.

Franklin Richard’s isnt a mutant… His parents were normal humans bombarded with space radiation that gave them powers. They were not mutations. Therefore their offspring just inherited powers due to their irradiated DNA.
Unless of course you think that every super in the MU is a mutant, in which case what’s the point of reading an article written by someone who clearly has no idea about the material at all.
ComicGodsUnite, you somehow “magically” decided to ignore the fact that Marvel itself has declared Franklin to be a mutant. How his parents acquired their parents would be beside the point!
I assume you mean “powers” not parents. And I’m pretty sure journalists need to site their sources. Who in Marvel suggested that Franklin is a mutant? Because I’ll believe it when I see it.
Hey ComicsGodsUnite,here’s your source:

I don’t know. These days as long as you are a liberal you don’t have to cite anything. Ask if he is a liberal.
Galactus said it, we all saw it.
His parents Reed & Sue acquired powers thru space radiation that mutated their genes making them mutants. Think about it, it’s just as how the Hulk was mutated by gamma radiation & so on. Some mutants were born from freak accidents & others were born of a pair of mutant parents. End of discussion!!!
Cyclops in house of X #1 tell The fantastic four that Franklin is welcome in their new mutant colony whenever he’s ready. Read a comic man
@ComicGodsUnite they’re destroying you! Fight back!
And before you tell me it’s right there in History Of The Marvel Universe #3 I’d continue to argue that Marvel contradicts itself all over the place. By marvel’s own definition of a mutant Richard’s isnt one.
Yeah that’s a lie Matthew Malloy would wreak Franklin no contest…Than we got the Marquis of Death who’s shown greater feats including traveling the mutiverse defeating cosmic level beings with no problem
To this biogeneticist, you clearly don’t have a clue what mutation means in the strictest Darwinian sense.
His parents were not mutants, but the radiation DID change their DNA.
Which led to mutations in their offspring’s DNA, arising in mega powers.
