The ultimate ancestor of Fin Fang Foom! The First Giant Monster To Stride ‘Pon The Earth! Each of his knucklebones is the size of a Buick! His rearmost left canine fang could be turned into a house, assuming you dislodged it from him, hollowed it out and didn’t mind walls made of dragon-enamel!
He died one hundred thousand years ago, but promised his killers that he would live again – and punish the world for their insult! He is very sensitive! He hates it when people insult him! It is probably a result of his relationship with his father! Whom he killed, thus forever robbing him of the chance to find true, lasting closure! So he will find closure in conquest and annihilation!
Forget all that crap about closure! Fin Fang Fear needs no closure! He is closure! Closure incarnate!
His breath is hatred! His soul is poison! His eyes stare into one billion souls at once, and find every last one wanting! He has come to wreak havoc from beyond the grave! Fear him! FEAR HIM!
I just want to write a story where Dr. Strange fights a giant skeleton monster with magical zappy bolts and maybe team up with Fin Fang Foom and if that is wrong then I DO NOT WANT TO BE RIGHT.
Top comment: I want this to be a Max series so that someone gets to say “Fin Fang Fuck You.”

This is, perhaps, the best idea yet. Skeletons? Awesome. Dragons? Awesome. COMBINED? Oh my god you have done something amazing. I’d read it.
Plus, you’d be known for coming up with that dragon that people will be airbrushing on their vans for decades to come.
This would be, like, totally awesome.
You could advertise it as “Doctor Strange’s life is about to get boned!”
The ONLY thing that matters here is:
Does he wear purple shorts?
I so want to see this, so Dr. Strange can ask the question: “Fin Fang Foom, if he is your ultimate ancestor, then who was this father of his that he killed?”
Maybe giant purple bandages…
His roar is a flood, his mouth is death and his breath is fire!
Don’t worry. You are not wrong.
If this is wrong, then fuck it, I AM WRONG.
If that is wrong, then there is nothing right.
If this is wrong, than – wait, the two comments above me said that already.
So this is very right.
Oddly enough, this is Reason #1 “Why Chris Sims Should Write Doctor Strange”
Chris Sims #1 reason to write the Doc is “Dr. Strange kicks someone’s face!”
No, the face kicking is on Sim’s universal list.
This is the first one on the Strange specific list.
And he should be also fought by the team of Rex the Wonder Dog and Viking Commando. Because an ax in the face will distract most magic-people.
I’d be down for this idea, if only to see what the hell Fin Fang Foom’s potato head looks like without any skin.
But… he’s dead. Undead. He doesn’t have any of those: not breath, nor soul, nor eyes.
I want this to be a Max series so that someone gets to say “Fin Fang Fuck You.”
Yes, I am a child.
can I just say I’m enjoying this FAR more then your Legion series?
Where’s a Phoenix Down when you really need one?
I will not disagree that skeletal dragons that fire magic zappy bolts is not made of cheese-covered, bacon-wrapped awesome.
However, Fin Fang Foom is a fin fang fucking horrible name and as such, unfortunately, so is Fin Fang Fear.
Man. Why aren’t you writing a Dr. Strange monthly yet? These are awesome.
@Zemrage: Fin Fang Foom is one of the greatest names ever and thus you are wrong and stupid and also wrong. GOOD DAY SIR!
And the Fing Fang Four will cameo, yes? Yes?
Sad to say, there was a sorta-version of this during “The Amalgam Age of Comics”: Fin Fang Flame, an amalgamation of Fin Fang Foom and Brimstone, summoned so as to destroy and devour all mutated variations of humanity (for some reason) and full of weird snark.
As much as I’ve loved these; this is the first pitch I’ve read that I’d actually volunteer to draw.
@ Magic Love Hose
Fin Fang FUCK, YEAH!
Lurker: Fin Fang Foom is a joke name. It does not serve any argument to claim Dormammu is a joke by his lack of deeds and then claim “Fin Fang Foom” is not a joke when his name inspires images of magic smoke.
Fin Fang Fear is slightly better, but Fin Fang Foom sounds like the name you’d give to a genie on Nickelodeon.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dr. Strange fighting a dragon, undead or not. This could be done badly, but if you think the concept itself is too goofy to be used, then I propose that you do not have enough joy in your life or your interest of comic books.
I don’t know if anyone has a pet dragon, but Marvel is actually accepting animal photos for inclusion in the Pet Avengers books:

Get your leash on.
I’m down with this if it makes Nextwave in continuity somehow.
The problem is, Fin Fang Fear just doesn’t roll off the tongue like Fin Fang Foom does. And the name Fin Fang Foom has no purpose except to roll off the tongue. I mean, if you get up in a crowded subway car and yell out, “FIN FANG FOOM! HE HAS NO GENITALS TO SPEAK OFF!”, then people will cheer and women will offer you sexual favors. But if you yell out, “FIN FANG FEAR! HIS BREATH IS THE FIRE OF PERDITION!”, then people will laugh at you and then hit you and take your wallet.
“My family name is Fin, my gens is Fang, and my personal name is Foom, and there is a slight flaw in my underpants.”–if Barry Hughart wrote Marvel Comics.
Why is there suddenly an English word popping up in Fin Fang Fear’s name?
@Zemrage: You’re still wrong and still stupid and so still I say GOOD DAY SIR!
I’m down with this if it makes Nextwave in continuity somehow.
I think Nick Fury: Agent of Nothing is the setup for that.
Fin Fang Fear VS The War Wheel.
A an epic struggle so intense, it’ll melt your face off then run you over.
The funniest thing to come from Top Cow’s Common Grounds mini? The giant dragon named Wang Dang Doodle.
[…] FI FO FUM! I want Chris Bird to write Doctor Strange if only so we can meet Fin Fang Fear. Flaming skeleton dragon thing from before time? Yeah, we need one of those. It speaks to the most […]
*snicker* This is your Space Alien Nazis versus Brain Whales isn’t it?
pronoiac: I hope you’re right. Ellis supposedly referred to it as the only thing which is in continuity. If Machine Man killing Fin Fang Foom is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
“Why is there suddenly an English word popping up in Fin Fang Fear’s name?”
Because he’s a gigantic goddamn dragon zombie made of evil and fire?
Kyle: Oh wow. I’m torn between the potential joy of Nextwave become canon & watching it merrily rolling & tearing up the landscape, & the fear of a gritty & humorless version.
The problem with using the Nextwave version of Fin Fang Foom is that the Roger Langridge version (from Fin Fang Four) is so much better (miniaturized, prosecuted, plea-bargained, now on a work-release program as a a waiter in a Chinese restaurant) is such a better character.
(…)
Oh! Apparently the hardcover OHOTMU confirms that the Nextwave version was a BEYOND corporation clone of the Langridge version (made pre-miniaturization)! So I guess they’re both available!
does it mean he gets to wear leather cuz that’d be awesome
