Many different portraits appeared on US $100 bills before Franklin. Among others:

1869 US Notes: Abraham Lincoln

1870 Gold Certificates: Senator Thomas Hart Benton (grandfather of the painter)

1878 Silver Certificates: James Monroe

1890 Treasury Notes: Admiral David Farragut

Franklin's portrait was placed on $100 Federal Reserve Notes in 1914. Since then no other person or image has been used.
