It can also account for the reason why Franklin's powers began manifesting at even a toddler age , as opposed to most mutants who don't express their powers until they hit puberty .
Agreed. And I'll add that all or most humans in the MU have the ability to produce super-humans. It was the Celestials who initially experimented on the human race in its infancy, making way for the eventual rise of both mutant and mutate in the Earth's population. That said, I believe that exposure to cosmic rays simply awakened Reed and Sue's latent potential to not only become super-human but to also give birth to one of the most powerful super-humans in all of existence. In my opinion, it's entirely possible that Franklin would have not been born a mutant had his parents not been exposed to the aforementioned rays. I think the cosmic exposure helped to speed up the process initially started by the Celestials eons ago, thus enabling the Richards' to create a child with an x-gene. In the Heroes Reborn: The Return limited series, Ashema actually states that Franklin represents the culmination of their experiments on humankind way back when.

Same as Charles Xavier's father and his colleagues Kurt Marko (Juggernaut's Father) and Alexander Ryking (father of Hazard).
Kurt Marko was left unaffected but he was a hack.
Alexander had a role like Xavier's and his son became a mutant.

Its weird while Mr. Sinister's attention has always been mostly towards Scott and by extension Jean. Her genes and the other Summers' brother genes seems to be way more powerful.
Cable and Nate Grey were Cyclops' progeny.

Well HoM Wanda has been retconned, so that's out.Reed used the Cosmic Control Rod during Sue's pregnancy for some odd reason. I'm betting that mucked with Franklin in the womb. So Sue is questionable.
The CCR explanation was never applied to his powers , either on-panel or on handbooks . Its a plausible but fan-based theory that has been propagated on many sites .

But the fact remains that he WAS exposed to the power of the CCR while in Sue's womb. Who knows how that affected his genes. Even if you don't believe it affected him in any way, it should at least be mentioned that he was exposed to it's power while he was a fetus.
