Not Yeti Friday - Ben Franklin

I Love Benjamin Franklin... so you don't have to.

Like me, I'm sure you're preparing to celebrate Ben Franklin's birthday tomorrow.

Dr. Strange
"While Dr. Strange and Clea were traveling through time to study America's occult history they made the acquaintance of Benjamin Franklin. Dr. Strange left Clea with Franklin as he went to fight Stygyro. During this time, Franklin seduced Clea into having sexual intercourse with him. When Dr. Strange returned to retrieve Clea, the two announced that they were engaged. Dr. Strange promptly used his powers to destroy Franklin..."  Source

I highly recommend this article by historian Rob MacDougall, "Great Franklin's Ghost", about how, in 19th century spiritualism, it was very popular to speak to the ghost of Ben Franklin and how he'd continue to invent stuff posthumously.

And Look at all them Tropes one can apply to him.
