I did think about it. There's no reason why Franklin couldn't have used young Franklin's power to augment himself. He chose to use it to revive Galactus. Let's not get hung up on the semantics of the word "amp" though.
Except there is. Adult Franklin used all of young Franklin's energy(collected in that blue orb) to revive Galactus. Since he used all that juice to bring back the big G, there's no reason to think that he used any of it to augment his own personal power.

Re-read the word "unwittingly" used in my previous posts. The way that battle with Galactus was portrayed on-panel, that indeed is the logical interpretation that follows. And yes, Hickman did say that, but then again Galactus was facing all 4 of the Celestials, while Franklin would have fallen against a lesser number of Celestials, without the necessary backup from Galactus. Ponder upon that.
