[Origin] (http://imgur.com/a/zh8Te) // [Dark Reign File] (http://i.imgur.com/4p0C3IR.jpg)

[Fin Fang Foom] (http://i.imgur.com/DSfcapV.jpg) is a Makluan, a [shape-shifting alien species] (http://imgur.com/a/XpB4B) from the world of Kakaranthara (also known as Maklu IV) in the Maklu system of the Greater Magellanic Cloud. He resembles a somewhat anthropomorphic Chinese dragon. His race might reproduce asexually. Foom and several other like-minded members of his race departed their peaceful homeworld centuries ago with the intention of conquering other planets. In the 11th issue of the 2016 Drax series, we discover [why Foom behaves like he usually does.] (http://i.imgur.com/efd4OF4.jpg) By now, people are more familiar with Foom as a [noble warrior and dragon.] (http://imgur.com/a/4kOgx) Another interesting thing about Makluans is that [they can use their fire breaths to make their eggs hatch. Pretty awesome actually.] (http://imgur.com/a/drOIw)

[Fin Fang Foom] (http://i.imgur.com/zyeDXiv.jpg) possesses superhuman strength, the ability to fly via his wings at supersonic speeds, and can spew combustible acid mist [(which is highly corrosive)] (http://imgur.com/a/tCcl5) from his mouth (making him appear to ["breathe fire"] (http://i.imgur.com/z0mNhfK.jpg)). The dragon is also extremely durable and can regenerate at a rapid rate. By entering into long periods of hibernation, Fin Fang Foom has managed to survive for centuries, and is well over a thousand years old. Fin Fang Foom is also a shape-shifter who can change size and shape to appear either as a human being or as a dragon far larger than a normal Kakaranatharan. He possesses a gifted intellect, and can [communicate telepathically] (http://imgur.com/a/XaCwC). He excels in hand to hand combat, and is [a master of the martial arts] (http://i.imgur.com/qmF58fB.jpg) of the planet Kakaranathara. He also appears to possess a limited amount of magical and supernatural abilities. He is 44 feet long, including his tail, and weighs 20 tons in his normal state.

Keep in mind, some of these feats belong to other Fin Fang Fooms from different Earths across the Marvel universe (plus a clone), but I decided to put them together because the canon version of Fin Fang Foom is very capable of doing these too.

Physiology, Senses, Special Abilities & Other

[His footsteps make the ground shake.] (http://i.imgur.com/b1QELrG.jpg)
[He made Mandarin feel fear for the first time.] (http://i.imgur.com/WlP8c8W.jpg)
[His roar and laughter alone are incredibly powerful.] (http://i.imgur.com/NzAj0nv.jpg)
According to Reed Richards, his [current genetic make-up is quite unique.] (http://i.imgur.com/Dy7TBgr.jpg)
It's unknown whether he is male or female, since [he can lay eggs] (http://imgur.com/a/nMXKz) (We get to see [the tragic side of these eggs later on] (http://imgur.com/a/g4P9k))
[Turns the entire army of China into ash.] (http://i.imgur.com/YJtVvwd.jpg)
[Grows so big he still looks enormous from a mile away.] (http://i.imgur.com/gUyup8Y.jpg)
[Dwarfs a town in size and unintentionally smashes it to bits.] (http://i.imgur.com/WoJZ7QV.jpg)
[His acid mist is stated to be as hot as a nuclear furnace.] (http://imgur.com/a/qAPTt) The only reason Iron Man isn't dead here is because Stark isn't directly wielding the armor.
His spirit survives [this] (http://imgur.com/a/eVhaO) (and [goes to Hell] (http://i.imgur.com/VR49ub3.jpg), I guess), [inhabits a small artifact resembling a dragon, hypnotizes a random kid,] (http://imgur.com/a/fL4Fo) turns him into [a Hulk-like monster (using him as a vessel)] (http://imgur.com/a/dPpjD) and then [summons thousands of rats and turns them lizards to fuse with the reptilian monster so that he can return to his normal form.] (http://imgur.com/a/qfQyQ)
[His jaws can open really wide.] (http://i.imgur.com/wTRh3CU.jpg)
[According to Iron Man, he could level Seattle. Most likely with either his shape-shifting powers or his super strength, or both. For reference, he's 15 stories (162,4 ft or 49,4 m) tall in this issue.] (http://i.imgur.com/wTRh3CU.jpg)
[Falls into a building with his 15-story tall body and crushes it.] (http://i.imgur.com/TOOochl.jpg)
[Shrinks to a tenth of his size and hides from Iron Man's radars.] (http://imgur.com/a/H42xH)
[In his 15-story form, Iron Man finds it really hard to lift and carry him. It's like lifting a skyscraper, he says.] (http://imgur.com/a/Ld6RK)
[Explodes into a pile of blood and regenerates within seconds.] (http://imgur.com/a/sT6MS) Or at least it looks like he does that. Given his rapid healing factor, it's not hard to buy.
[His footsteps smash through the ground.] (http://i.imgur.com/I16A7AF.jpg)
[His firebreath fazes WB Hulk. It doesn't hurt him though.] (http://imgur.com/a/lRQBf)
[Absorbs gamma energy] (http://i.imgur.com/Wd37Vcj.jpg) by eating a few dozen gamma bombs and [spits them back out as if they were missiles.] (http://imgur.com/a/XzYuL)
[Hulk draws blood from his mouth and he instantaneously heals the small wound.] (http://i.imgur.com/jeADcdI.jpg)
[Changes his weight so that he is much heavier than he normally is.] (http://imgur.com/a/Fok62)
[Hears the cry from an infant dragon through the vastness of space.] (http://imgur.com/a/GAnpA)
[Follows an infant dragon's scent into another galaxy and telepathically communicates with everyone inside this ship, since he hears every word they say.] (http://imgur.com/a/FobpP)
[He's got laser eyes, but they're not lethal, they just allow him to give life to statues and possibly other soulless objects,] (http://imgur.com/a/ZA99O) plus can change [other people's shapes, forms and "languages".] (http://imgur.com/a/4r7Nk)
[Devours great white sharks. This is as awesome as it sounds.] (http://i.imgur.com/fy4ki9Q.jpg)

Strength

[Burrows through rock with the might of a dozen steam shovels.] (http://i.imgur.com/cy0hwIp.jpg)
[Snaps the Great Wall of China through the air like a whip.] (http://i.imgur.com/8O5eDf6.jpg)
[Lifts a barrack as if it were a toy.] (http://i.imgur.com/ln9O1Qt.jpg)
[Wrecks two battleships with his bare hands.] (http://imgur.com/a/Ptwy6)
[Stomps through pier.] (http://i.imgur.com/20bD7KU.jpg)
[Karate chops the ground and a tree.] (http://i.imgur.com/jW5G9li.jpg)
[Kicks It, the living Colossus into a building, breaking it in half.] (http://i.imgur.com/TgytK72.jpg)
[Rams the living Colossus through a building.] (http://i.imgur.com/UVDtchi.jpg)
[Tears through the pavement with his finger.] (http://i.imgur.com/eLhLfTr.jpg)
While these next feats belong to the Midgard Serpent, they involve Fin Fang Foom so I'll include them here: [While sleeping, Foom overpowers multiple Frost Giants (plus eats one of them).] (http://imgur.com/a/MNxmf). Frost Giants are typically very strong, Thor once compared [Rogue's diamond-shattering strength] (http://i.imgur.com/5JgB7nu.jpg) to one. He also doesn't feel bothered by the cold temperatures of Norway, which counts as a durability/endurance feat. [Later on, he challenges Thor, who requires every ounce of his strength to overpower him.] (http://imgur.com/a/VOJgJ) Jörmungandr is using Foom's body and form (for no apparent reason), so all the credit goes to Fin Fang Foom, in my opinion. For those who need more info on Thor's strength, [here's a link.] (https://www.comicbookmovie.com/comics/marvel_comics/superhero-feats-thor-a47839)
[Tears and smashes through mountains with his claws and tail.] (http://i.imgur.com/MWjMmO6.jpg)

[Throws Iron Man so fast he can't get his boot jets to stop him.] (http://i.imgur.com/0l9LeAJ.jpg)
[One-shots Iron Man in one of his smaller forms.] (http://i.imgur.com/qVg5oBv.jpg)
[Hurls his fist through the side of a mountain at speeds comparable to a hundred tornadoes, and the remaining pieces from the side of a mountain get tossed at speeds which the Iron Man drone finds hard to dodge.] (http://imgur.com/a/4ymlb)
[According to Iron Man, he could level Seattle. Most likely with either his shape-shifting powers or his super strength, or both. For reference, he's 15 stories (162,4 ft or 49,4 m) tall in this issue.] (http://i.imgur.com/wTRh3CU.jpg)
[Swats Iron Man through two buildings with his tail.] (http://imgur.com/a/zBsLj)

[Sends the Fantasticar flying through the pavement.] (http://imgur.com/a/KwunR)
[According to Lady Hellbender, he's the strongest thing on Earth besides the original Hulk.] (http://imgur.com/a/YTTgA)
[Knocks out Amadeus Cho in his Hulk form with his tail.] (http://imgur.com/a/pmrlK)
[Takes down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier with one hand.] (http://imgur.com/a/rcGZA)
[Punches through one of the helicarrier's propellers.] (http://i.imgur.com/JihDuJ5.jpg)
[Iron Man (in his All New, All Different suit) and Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) are needed to hold his mouth open, and even then they struggle while doing this.] (http://i.imgur.com/pbOXMTz.jpg)
[Takes down Terrax with ease and tanks a punch from Drax.] (http://i.imgur.com/8w0RcXq.jpg)
[One-shots a Kakaranatharan which was able to beat Drax rather easily.] (http://imgur.com/a/0bLrj)

[Swims from the US all the way to China.] (http://i.imgur.com/4QndLgG.jpg)
[Iron Man's repulsor blasts barely affect him. And as you can see in the first page, they're capable of creating a trench half the size of the Grand Canyon, or at least as big if not bigger than Foom.] (http://imgur.com/a/cjZ7r)
[Gets back up after Iron Man makes him fall into a trench half the size of the Grand Canyon and after dropping two mountains on him.] (http://imgur.com/a/EBVKt)
[Iron Man pumps up his repulsor blasts to being forty times more powerful, yet this doesn't pierce Foom's skin, it only knocks him out for a couple of minutes.] (http://imgur.com/a/DyJt1)
[An upgraded armor's repulsor blasts still aren't enough to do anything beyond annoy him.] (http://i.imgur.com/qz8M6Us.jpg)
[Iron Man absorbs his firebreath's power and returns it in the form of pulse bolts, but this doesn't even annoy Fin.] (http://imgur.com/a/dr5y9)
[Plasma bombs don't bother him that much. In fact, not at all.] (http://i.imgur.com/xzSrrJ5.jpg)
[A gamma ray can't get through his tough hide either.] (http://imgur.com/a/eMUh9)
[Survives without most of his organs after he spits them all out.] (http://imgur.com/a/aX60w)
[The Human Torch's attacks] (http://i.imgur.com/0qono1j.jpg) don't faze him either. [Here] (http://i.imgur.com/vAEtaKD.jpg)'s a more legit scan, though.
[Not even Wolverine after leaping off a building can completely pierce though his hide with his adamantium claws.] (http://imgur.com/a/4leqf)
[Cyclops' optic blast at full power knocks him through buildings but nothing else.] (http://imgur.com/a/mTUGi) Cyclops himself has stated that his optic blast is powerful enough [to rip a small planet apart.] (http://i.imgur.com/KqqCy5A.jpg)
[Shrugs off a thunderclap from a WorldBreaker Hulk] (http://i.imgur.com/fgDtdDI.jpg) that isn't [holding back.] (http://i.imgur.com/jHci68V.jpg?1)
[Gets punched multiple times by Hulk and even though he draws blood from him, he doesn't really feel much, since Hulk requires momentum to actually hurt him. This version specifically is World War Hulk.] (http://i.imgur.com/jeADcdI.jpg)
[Gets punched through a mountain by Mangog,] (http://imgur.com/a/Nk5V5) who's strong enough [to manhandle The Thing.] (http://imgur.com/a/vB8s5)

[Dodges a large boulder thrown by Iron Man at close range.] (http://imgur.com/a/qAPTt) The implication here is that Foom's reflexes are superior to the ones from the Iron Man suit, and [for the record, Stark's orders travel to the Iron Man suit in a microsecond, yet Foom is moving too fast for him.] (http://i.imgur.com/7Pu9wsG.jpg)
[Dodges a Moon-busting beam at close range.] (http://i.imgur.com/vmerLtu.jpg)
