Goom

Goom is a massive alien creature from Planet X who arrived on Earth with conquest in mind, making him one of Marvel's classic monster-era invaders. He later became associated with fellow giant monsters like Fin Fang Foom and has appeared alongside Nick Fury's Howling Commandos.

Few creatures carry the strange, lumbering dignity of Goom, a Marvel monster who first stomped onto the Bronze Age scene in Giant-Size Man-Thing #1 in 1974, brought to life by the legendary Jack Kirby. Over a remarkable fifty-year span, this oddball titan has kept genuinely wild company — sharing pages with Fin Fang Foom, Googam, Groot, Spider-Man, and Logan — and found a particular home in Nick Fury's Howling Commandos and the delightful Fin Fang Four Return! While Goom's catalog footprint is modest, that longevity alone speaks to a character with stubborn, enduring charm in Marvel's menagerie of the magnificent and the monstrous.
