How old is Franklin Richards?
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:59 pm
For a project that I have in development, I wanted to gather together any specific references to the age of Franklin Richards (regardless of any inconsistancies due to the "sliding timeline" concept). Would anyone be able to site any specific instances or issues to add the the list below (and possibly Valeria too if there are any)? Thanks!!
Franklin was born in FF@ 6
"A five year old" in FF 270.
"Five-year-old boy" in FF3 8.
"Only seven" in FF3 51.
"Seven-year-old" in FF3 60.
"8th" birthday in FOUR 1.
Valeria is born in FF3 54.
I also remember there being a reference in Exiles #81 (when the team went to the Heroes Reborn Earth) as to how old Franklin was during the Onslaught storyline. Would anyone know the age given in Exiles #81?
Also note that Franklin has on at least two occasions been aged to adulthood, only to have his youth restored. The first was in FF 245, when he lost control of his powers, transforming into an amnesiac, virtually omnipotent adult dubbed Avatar, but when Sue realized who he truly was, Franklin restored himself to childhood. The second was when his grandfather Nathaniel Richards took Franklin to the realm of Elsewhen for years and he became Psi-Lord in FF 375-377, leading Fantastic Force, before being restored by Hyperstorm in FF 413-414.
