And if you’re familiar with the comics, you may have felt the impact of what these young superheroes have to offer in the MCU in the future. In the films though, it is being reported that these young heroes will already be established characters in their universe, which will be altering the comic lore a bit to better satisfy the narrative.

The reason why they’re considered two of the most powerful in the Marvel Universe is related to their superhuman abilities, which are extreme intelligence and reality manipulation.
Who Are Valeria And Franklin Richards From Marvel Comics?
When it comes to the younger, Valeria Richards, she possesses a pretty simple and underrated power of extreme superhuman intelligence, which doesn’t have the same flash and wow factor that her other family members do. But her lack of showy powers makes her a force to be reckoned with in the Marvel Universe when it comes to taking one down with intellect and knowledge.

On the other hand, her older brother Franklin Richards is by far one of the most broken characters in the Marvel meta simply because he has the powers to alter all realities as he sees fit. This power, in fact, became the reason why Valeria survived her birth in the first place as it was an event that could’ve killed both her and her mother if not for Franklin’s powers.
The Fantastic Four,in cinemas on 25th July 2025.
