5. Franklin Richards

Although he is ridiculously powerful, Franklin Richards’ powers come through being a mutant and not through being an abstract cosmic entity or a god.

The son of Fantastic Four members Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, Franklin possesses reality-warping powers on a truly universal scale – essentially allowing him to make anything happen that he wishes or wills to happen.

His power has allowed him to do things like create pocket universes in his bedroom and an adult version of the character was able to defeat two Celestials in combat and tap into the power of his younger self to make Galactus – a character who normally has other beings serving him – into his own personal Herald.

He has also demonstrated other powers like telepathy, telekinesis, precognition and energy blasts.

Characters such as the aforementioned Galactus, Eternity and Infinity have all taken notice of Franklin’s abilities – and when beings of that cosmic nature consider you to be relevant, you must be crazy powerful.

Franklin could essentially make Thanos into his b**ch – and very few characters that aren’t abstract cosmic entities can say that.

What do you think? Do you agree that these guys are powerful enough defeat Thanos? Which other Marvel characters could beat the Mad Titan? Have your say below.
