The Fantastic Frank-verse Kristoff/Doom is still in the same class as Franklin, and arranges for him to take a gummy bear that gives him an explosive sneeze, burning down his diorama. The teacher, however, still awards Franklin first prize for his "depiction of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871!"

Cast: "Nick Fury, super-secret agent"; Reed Richards, Franklin, HERBIE, Puppy, [Roswell aliens], two 1947 army guys
Baxter Building, present:
Nick Fury calls up Reed to ask him about the Roswell incident. Franklin overhears and scampers off, missing that Reed wanted to ask what his son had to do with it.
"Roswell, New Mexico, 1947"
Franklin uses Puppy to teleport to the past, and rescues the tiny aliens ("Yes, we are small compared to you... but who invented space travel first? Hm?") just before a US Army Jeep spots them. He vanishes just in time for them to take a picture...
Baxter Building, "The Present":
Reed wants to ask if Franklin used Puppy to travel back in time. When shown the picture, he claims Puppy made a mistake - and Reed asks if he removed anything or interacted with anyone, to which Franklin insists he didn't talk to one single human. Reed warns him not to do it again, and he should play with his alien action figures instead...
