The Man of Tomorrow
Apparently both characters have enormous potential on a cosmic level. The writers, claim they are nearly equal to one another in terms of potential. But clearly, Franklin is the superior. By abilities and feats.
First of Franklin is a confirmed Omega mutant, meaning he is one of the vary few who’s physical body will actually survive harnessing his full potential (which by omega means limitless). Nate ponteial while limitless as well, would have his body overloaded, and go into critical mass the moment taps into his full potential.
Not only is Franklin a psy of the highest order, he is also a massive reality warper. Take note of the anti-matter blast he created through energy/matter manipulation. Along with creating a Pocket Universe. While Nate seems to hold some more exotic psi abilities, (he halted time, recreated a few characters, manipulate the astral and the physical world). Its bigger feats, would be multi-versal mind link, and overloading a Great Beast. Yes overloading the Great Beast should be deemed a respectable feat, but is over-shadowed by Franklin and Valeria feat of brining Galactus back to life.
Here I will leave you with a comment by the writers, comic, and narration.

4. - Is Nate more powerful then Franklin Richards of the Fantastic Force?
Answer - Franklin and Nate’s power could very well rival each others. Fraklin is still fairly young and doesn’t completely understand the power that he wields. Nate on the other hand, has been gaining more control of his abilities and is no stranger to field battles. Unless the two actually squared off against each other, it’d be difficult to say who is more powerful.
