Who are Galactus and Franklin Richard?

To understand the hilarity ensuing from the entire rumor scene, we need to take a walk down the original MCU comics lane. The six-year-old in question is absurdly powerful. Well, being part of a superhero comic is not something unexpected. Franklin is the son of Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four, popularly known as Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman.

When most six-year-olds find it difficult to jot down alphabets together or tie up their shoelaces, this kid received a comically massive assignment to rebuild the cosmic mess into a universe.

Galactus on the other hand is the planet-sized foodie who scouts the universe for intergalactic meals.
