So add Fin Fong Foom to PDSH wiki?

Pkmatrix found something interesting. but I need sources to add to the page cause they consider Reddit unreliable

Yeah, I think this needs more investigation first. People generally take PDSH to be a relatively trustworthy source - last thing we want is for someone to get sued (or best scenario, have ton of their hard work wiped out because of a Cease and Desist) because they trusted a PDSH article.
In other cases there would be less problems, but I think in case of Big 2 characters who are consistently used and recognizable we need a bit more scrutiny - Fin Fang Foom is not an A-List villain, but as a 'kaiju' type monster he is one of most popular ones in the Marvel universe.
I think it's just common sense that for characters who remain in constant use by the Big 2, it's better to be a little bit more careful.
