THE FUTURE FOUNDATION AND SECRET WARS
As the many worlds of the Multiverse began to collapse in the lead-up to SECRET WARS (2015), the Fantastic Four and the Future Foundation faced another crisis starting in FANTASTIC FOUR (2014) #1 by James Robinson and Leonard Kirk. After several giant creatures escaped from a portal in the Baxter Building, the Future Foundation was left in the care of the original Human Torch, an android and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Jim Hammond.
Although the Wizard tried to get Bentley to betray his friends, the villain reconsidered and encouraged his young clone to stay with the Future Foundation. The Future Foundation and the Fantastic Four also worked together to stop the Quiet Man, a vengeful villain who went to college with Reed, and the corrupted Avengers of Counter-Earth, a forgotten reality Franklin had created.
When only a few worlds remained in the Multiverse, the Future Foundation built a “life raft,” a ship that could survive the end of the universe, in FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2015 #0 by Jonathan Hickman and Paul Renaud. Although the life raft saved several heroes, most members of the Future Foundation still died when their universe collapsed.
After saving reality, Reed and the reality-warping Molecule Man restored the Future Foundation. Franklin and Molecule Man used their vast powers to create new universes, and Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and the Future Foundation left Earth to help them rebuild the Multiverse.
