Young Franklin VS Adult Franklin

However, in the fictional realm of comics, writers ARE omniscient.

You feel me? But I get what you're sayin.

No, it's not.

Comic book writers>comic book fans.
Whether fans agree with it or not, what writers say is law.

Now action isn't easily dismissed.
There better be a heavy history countering the justification behind it.

Yea, and they create characters that blast Universes,
doesn't take away from it being nonsense.

I agree that in the real world, comic book writers are primarily geeks that I could beat the shit out of. Hardly infallible. In the fictional world of comics, however, writers are the top dogs. What they say, goes.

For instance, if a writer stated in a comic that Galactus was only a global power, we could absolutely dismiss it as trash. However, if a writer published a comic in which Galactus was engaging in gay intercourse with his heralds, then it would be disgusting, but not as easily dismissible.

AF extracted (and utilized) the orb containing young Frank's powers only when he was ready to summon Galactus. AF was not enhanced by said orb. Galactus (who was also similarly exposed to the orb) was not enhanced (only brought back) by it.

I just looked at Hickman's Formspring , and he confirmed that Galactus was being "powered by Franklin" .
Whether that counts as being enhanced or not , I am not sure(although I think that it does) :

That fxxking hypserspace thing is gonna haunt the Celestials forever now isn't it? Fxxk Hickman, Tom Defalco, and the Fantastic Four (and the PIS/CIS that follows them around).

Superman has at times been portrayed as immune to kryptonite .

We've always known he was being powered by Franklin--Franklin's power is what resurrected him, after all. /shurg

The question is , does it count as "enhancing" G-Man as well , or not ?

^ Hard to say. That comment is pretty ambiguous.

Wow. That's a very interesting comment indeed. The originator of the question appeared to be somewhat taken aback by the fact that both Galactus and Sue were able to penetrate Celestial armor. And in responding that Galactus was "powered" by Franklin, Hickman seems to be implying that Galactus would not be able to accomplish said feat otherwise. That's how I read it. Not sure what to make of this. I was only being flippant with my previous remarks suggesting that Galactus was enhanced by Franklin's power. Based on Hickman's aforementioned remarks, though, I now think it's a serious possibility. Hmm..

'course not. That was painfully obvious on panel. I mean, how was Galactus going to do anything in the dead/KO'd state he was in?

As Galan said, this comment didn't reveal anything.

He also said it's a bit ambiguous. 🙂

It is ambiguous because it can be interpreted a few ways (as we've already seen by the responses in this thread.) Personally, I'm just looking at it literally. Galactus was "powered" by Franklin in the literal sense, as it was Frank's power that resurrected Galactus from a lifeless corpse, back to a Celestial-buster.

All Hickman's comment told me is something I already knew. /shrug

I don't know. If Hickman had said (to the question originator) something along the lines of, 'I'm not sure why you're taking issue with Galactus' ability to perform such feats; that's always been well within his power level', there would be no point of contention I think. My thoughts.

Oh I understand where you're coming from, and you may very well be correct. It's just hard to determine what's right/wrong, when the statement Hick made can be taken a couple ways. IMO.
