The character is known to be an immensely powerful being with vast reality-manipulating and psionic powers beyond Omega-level mutants, despite not being a mutant himself.

Franklin Richards revives Galactus to fight Celestials
Son of Reed Richards and Susan Storm, Franklin Richards is wildly powerful and can alter reality and create entirely new universes. His cosmic abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, and energy projection, allow him to be unstoppable when he fully unleashes.
According toCBR, in one reality; Jonathan Hickman and Neil Edwards’Fantastic Four #581showcase that Franklin Richards along with his sister Valeria work together with their grandfather Nathaniel to travel into the past and change the future for the better. TheComics Explained’s YouTube channel explains that Richards from the future comes to the past, borrows the powers of his younger self, and resurrects Galactus inFantastic Four #604.
Richards revived Galactus to fight the Mad Celestials from an alternate reality and invade the main Marvel universe to conquer it. Galactus loses his life while fighting the three Celestials who merge their powers to kill him. But after Richards revives him, the two of them combine their powers to fight the Celestials and defeat them.

Their battle with Celestials is one of the most significant battles recorded in the Marvel Universe. This led to Galactus briefly becoming the Herald for Franklin. It has also been noted that Richards is probably the only character in the Marvel Universe who can perform such a feat. But he’s also considered as one of the innocent characters who decided not to keep the powers any longer than he needed to, hence leading to cementing a bond with Galactus.
