X-Men/ Fantastic Four #1

[Tycon]

There’s an assumption that the X-Men are being aggressors simply by being Franklin to see what he’s being asked to join and if he would ever want to. There’s no indication that this is something they’ll force him to do and learning about your culture is important to who you are.

[U.N. Owen]

Who said that?

Kid Franklin would care for mutants since he did stick his neck out for mutants during "Mutant Massacre."

Teen Franklin is a different story. He cares only for power. It's why he refused to save his new aunt and Wyatt in issue 6 of the current run since he would deplete his powers.

[Devaishwarya]

I know.
I'm just assuming based off of the prev-pages.

Still...If they wanted to "win" Franklin over to Krakoa...there are better, more respectful ways of doing so...than sending in the heavy-hitters. (I do think Scott came off as an ass, in HoX 01 when he first confronted the F4...that attitude was a bit uncalled for).

[Michael Watkins]

the x-men have been respectful. the Fantastic Four are dismissive per usual.

I think that's just the teen angsty-ness. We saw he still has a soft spot for Kate from that one preview page we saw. It seems like Franklin always wanted to know more about the plight of mutants but never could because he was always stuck with the FF.

Their "heavy hitters"? Cyclops came off arrogant but nothing he said would warrant anything more serious than a parental scowl. All he said was there was family waiting for him on Krakoa. You can only be so angry at the truth.

[Devaishwarya]

The implied statement there was that his true mutant family were waiting for him. Which is totally assinine.
Either way...Kate used the word "recruit" so maybe they do legitimately need his power for something specific and important and things probably got out of hand (as these things tend to do) because Scott was such a dick to the F4 in the first place.

they took Artie and Leech. it's only fair that they come for Franklin.

At least they were safer with FF

Emma should kick Leech again when she sees him.

Franklin has that spoiled-suburban-white-kid-who-curses-at-his-parents-when-they-ask-him-to-do-the-dishes energy. He’ll ruin the Krakoan vibe.

Translation: he's a teenager.

I don't buy this at all. In those preview pages, he walks out of a scanner once more, pissed that his powers won't return based off the visuals and the precedent set by the current run. I see it more as Franklin leaves for Krakoa for a way to get more power only to be absorbed into the mutant culture and craze.

I still hold that he prioritizes power over anything else.

Translation: he's a teenager.

He's a robot programed to sound and act like the hoo-man.

Maybe it's the environment at my place of work, but college freshmen I teach don't act anything like him. If anything, they act more like his sister with more orgies.
