In November, Marvel Comics made a controversial retcon to Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue Richards, in the pages of Fantastic Four. The Dan Slott-written Fantastic Four #26 revealed that Franklin is not a mutant, which had explained his cosmic powers since 1982. This retcon proved controversial, especially among those following the current era of X-Men. Franklin appeared on a list of Omega Level Mutants early on in the run, and the X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover seemed to be setting up future stories about Franklin’s mutant status. Speaking to Adventures in Poor Taste, Marvel’s “Head of X” Jonathan Hickman commented on how the change to Franklin’s origin affects his plans.
