Of all the things in the universe, what does the cosmic being Galactus want with a little baby in "Fantastic Four: First Steps"? Our video explains it all.

The MCU's Galactus just made a startling demand of the Fantastic Four with massive ramifications down the line after First Steps.

In Fantastic Four comics, Reed Richards is always trying to save the world, but he has also almost destroyed it more than once.

Franklin’s powers allowed him to create the universe, dimensions, avoid mind control, and every other cool power you can think of. Franklin Richards is considered a Beyond Omega Level mutant, and he is the only one in that category, making him the most powerful mutant on Earth.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are poised to be the next great entries in the MCU, hoping to reshape the universe like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame did years ago. While the specifics will certainly be different, the two movies will likely follow the same basic plot as the comic book story Secret Wars from 2015.

In a 1982 arc by John Byrne, Franklin gets frustrated trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube and uses his powers to age himself into an adult body, though he couldn’t actually gain more emotional maturity. He winds up going back to being a kid, placing restrictions on his own abilities to allow him to have something of a normal childhood.

The latest Fantastic Four clip takes place mostly within the press conference that's been at the heart of the promotional campaign since the early days, with Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards addressing reporters' questions. He stuns everyone by admitting that the team did not yet take down Galactus as others seemed to believe they did.

As the rest of the Fantastic Four mourn her, Reed puts their son on her chest to say goodbye, and then he miraculously resuscitates her. The parents spend most of the movie worried that Franklin might be some kind of monster like Galactus,
