pre-retcon Beyonder would destroy Franklin with ease, though Beyonder is not a villain (despite being on this wiki) - he is a neutral.

Marquis of Death would also destroy Franklin rather easily, as would Malloy (though again Malloy is not a villain, in the traditional sense) - Phoenix Force empowered beings could likely defeat him as well.

Franklin is stated to be roughly on par with Celestials and while some writers give him wildly inaccurate powers he should not be able to surpass Celestials - that means Beyonders (the race) and anyone who has been shown to defeat Celestials could take him on.

heck, even Edifice Rex could theoretically handle Franklin.. the problem is Franklin has precognition, which is annoying to beat.. Doctor Manhattan has similar abilities and his precognition can be blocked by tachyons but DC physics is not Marvel physics so it is unknown if Franklin's precognition could be blocked the same way (or at all).

Protege could theoretically match Franklin, as could Hyperstorm.. outside of Marvel there's many in DC multiverse that could squash Franklin rather easily (Fifth Dimension Imps etc).

Franklin is often cited as obnoxiously powerful but I feel he's a victim of bad writing more than anything (like most reality warpers) - if his powers are played straight and not altered for plot or writer inaccuracy he is multi-universe level or less.. thus is not nearly the "god" people see him as (even his adult form).
