Avatar Character Name: Franklin Richards Year(s): 2006-2010
For four glorious years, Franklin was a Sentry. He was at the height of his powers, and nothing could satisfy him more than being a Superhero like his parents. He wanted to Serve and Protect, and was toying with the idea of joining SHIELD or the Avengers, but those things never came to fruition. As a team member of the Sentries, he was likable though sometimes just a bit showy, and he his abilities were just unfathomably useful.
But when his little brother went missing just as Franklin's full potential was starting to be revealed, he shut down. He turned off his own abilities, forging incredibly strong mental barriers in his own head to block him from being able to access those powers. He quit the Sentries and went to college, getting a degree in U.S history, trying to lead a more quiet, and unnoticed life.
He's deeply ashamed of leaving the Sentries, and feels himself a cowards most days even if he feels it was for everyone's own good that he leave. He didn't want to put anyone in danger, and despite his aversion to using his abilities, Franklin hopes they know they can always call on him if it is absolutely necessary.
