10 Most Ridiculously Overpowered Superheroes In The Marvel Universe

1. Franklin Richards

Who would have ever guessed that one of the most incredibly overpowered individuals within the Marvel Universe would be a small child? The son of Fantastic Four members Reed Richards and Sue Storm, Franklin was born a mutant due to his parents exposure to cosmic radiation. R

ather than being gifted with menial powers such as elasticity or invisibility young Franklin was born with the ability to manipulate reality. Unlike the Scarlet Witch, Franklin's powers manifested at a very early age and have grown at an incredible rate. There are some theories that state that Franklin Richards actually controls the entirety of the Marvel universe. The character has - on more than one occasion - created an entire universe.

Following the disaster of the Onslaught crossover, Franklin created a pocket universe for the heroes that sacrificed themselves to stop the malevolent entity. During this crossover, he displayed some of his greatest feats including creating a second sun that threw off Earth's gravitational field. Powerful characters such as Mephisto have been shown to fear the boy. Mephisto being a villain so powerful that he too can recreate the world and change reality.

It has also been hypothesized that Galactus himself is a herald to Franklin, having once been summoned by him while still unborn! Franklin doesn't even need to be consciously aware in order to use his powers having been only faintly aware of what he has done in the past such as when he created a new universe. It is also stated that Franklin has created psionic blocks within his own mind to prevent himself from establishing his full power.

These blocks have failed to prevent him from manifesting power subconsciously, and have also failed to prevent him from achieving precognition and his ability to see into other realities. It is stated when he reached maturity he will employ a vast amount of great powers including telepathy, telekinesis, energy projection, and energy and matter reconstitution on a cosmic level.

There truly has been no character more overpowered than Franklin Richards with only Sentry coming close. Franklin, however, has yet to even reach his full potential which is what makes him the most overpowered of them all. If there were but a handful of characters Marvel needs to take down a few levels in order to make the stories - and overall existence of the MU - more believable these few are surely them.

Are there any characters you'd like to add to the list? What do you think of characters with such vast power? Do you approve of the word 'overpowered.' Let us know in the comment section below.
