Marvel has been dropping hints, but now it’s officially confirmed — the most powerful hero in *Avengers: Doomsday* isn’t Thor or Professor X. It’s a toddler. Yes, really.

According to the *Fantastic Four: First Steps – The Art of the Movie* artbook, Marvel Studios producer Grant Curtis confirmed that **Franklin Richards** possesses “limitless potential,” calling him one of the most powerful beings in the entire Marvel Universe.

## Who Is Franklin Richards?

Franklin is the son of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) from *Fantastic Four: First Steps*. In the comics, he grows up to become an omega-level [mutant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_(Marvel_Comics)) so powerful that even the universe-creating **Celestials** consider him their equal — able to warp reality and reshape the Multiverse at will.

We already got a taste of his abilities in *First Steps*, when baby Franklin literally brought his mother back from the dead.

## Why Does Doctor Doom Want Franklin?

Here’s where it gets interesting. The post-credits scene of *Fantastic Four: First Steps* showed a hooded Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) seemingly abducting a toddler-aged Franklin. The prevailing theory? **Doom wants to use Franklin as a living engine** to power his Multiversal conquests — jumping realities and “pruning” out-of-timeline variants across the Marvel Multiverse.

It’s a chilling concept: the most innocent being in the MCU weaponized by its most calculating villain.
