* CatapultNightmare: In one of her lives, Rikki jolts up in bed after remembering her deaths at the hands of the Griever. Judging by how the narration text says Toni "sometimes was just the girl who held Rikki when she woke up screaming," this has happened before.

* HappyEndingOverride: [[spoiler:One of Rikki's previous incarnations in the multiverse was that of Becky Barnes of ''ComicBook/Exiles2018'', which ended on an AndTheAdventureContinues note, with Becky pursuing a romantic relationship with a Valkyrie. Since Rikki is placed into a new body every time the Griever destroys the universe she's in, with the narration explicitly saying "blackness came" after her time in Becky's body, things don't look so great for the Exiles...]]

* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Julie and Rikki are both bisexual, getting into a relationship over the course of the series. In Julie's case, she's more feminine, long-haired girly and her superhero outfit emphasizes her figure. Rikki is a short-haired tomboy and her outfit's far more utilitarian, akin to a WrenchWench getup.

* WorldOfActionGirls: Given this is a superhero comic, all the women are skilled fighters, whether or not they have superpowers.

* MostWritersAreHuman: The comic stars a diverse, SciFiKitchenSink cast of all shapes and sizes. However, the two characters of focus are Alex and Julie Power, easily the two most human characters of the bunch (ie not an alien, uhari, android, moloid, morlock, or interdimensional being) and have the most normal of backstories (relatively speaking for a superhero world, of course) as White-Americans who grew up in a stable environment before [[TouchedByVorlons getting powers from an alien unicorn]].

* TheReveal: Leech explains to Rikki both why she's been resurrecting in parallel universes when she dies and why she's the sole OriginalGeneration on Franklin's Counter-Earth. She was created by Franklin as one of his rules, modeled after Captain America because of his BigGood status but she's a girl because the most powerful hero Franklin personally knows is his Mom. Since Franklin recreated the multiverse, he put her [[TheConstant on every version he made]], which from her perspective has been one continuous existence.

* DimensionalTraveler: The entire premise is the crew traveling the Multiverse to repair the Molecule Man. When they encounter Rikki, herself a Dimensional Traveler, she checks to see what universe they're from by asking Julie a detail so stupidly unique to their own universe (the existence of the Spider-Mobile), it could verify she was in the right one.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: When the team stage a prison break-out, both the people they rescue have visible facial scars. Rikki Barnes, an ActionGirl and former protege of Captain America, has three scars on her cheek and a bullet scar in her shoulder. The Maker, the dark and sociopathic AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome with little regard for human life, has a ''very'' nasty burn on his face around his eye.

''Future Foundation'' is a 2019 comic book series that's effectively a SpinOff of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', continuing from the pages of the title. The comic series is written by Jeremy Whitley (''ComicBook/UnstoppableWasp'') and drawn by Will Robson (''ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers'', ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}''). It is the second comic starring the Future Foundation, after ''ComicBook/{{FF}}''.

The series begins after ''Fantastic Four'' Vol. 6, where Reed, Sue, Franklin and Valeria returned to Earth and reformed the Fantastic Four. The rest stayed behind to chart the multiverse in order to rebuild their friend the Molecule Man. The Future Foundation, consisting of [[ComicBook/PowerPack Alex and Julie Power]], guest professor Yondu Udonta, and many others, our crew of young geniuses, mutants, Atlanteans, Moloids, androids and more, begin their multiversal quest. The first mission? A prison break!

The first issue was released on August 7, 2019.

!!''Future Foundation'' provides the following tropes:
* AerithAndBob: Naturally, there's a contrast in naming convention given the science fiction cultures the members are from. We have the mundane Alex and Julie Power, as well as Bentley and Artie Maddricks, in contrast to names like Dragon Man and Adolf Impossible. Then there's Korr, Leech, Mik, Onome, Tong, Turg, Vil, Wu and Yondu Udonta.
* DimensionalTraveler: The entire premise is the crew traveling the Multiverse to repair the Molecule Man.
* GenreShift: ''Future Foundation'' is more of a science fiction comic than a superhero one.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Yondu is described this way -- he's the "guest professor", but isn't officially a member.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The crew alone consists of 14 members in the form of Adolf Impossible, Bentley, Dragon Man, Korr, Leech, Artie Maddricks, Mik, Onome, Alex and Julie Power, Tong, Turg, Vil, and Wu along with guest professor Yondu Udonta. Keep in mind, this is ''just'' the main crew.
