An excerpt from the Wikipedia entry on Fin Fang Foom recapping a 2005 story arc: Fin Fang Foom is captured by the Elder of the Universe known as the Collector, and imprisoned with a subterranean collection of monsters. After being rescued by the Fantastic Four, Fin Fang Foom decides to reform and becomes a follower of Buddhism. Entering into a rehabilitation program with Elektro, Gorgilla, and Googam, Foom is shrunken to the size of a human, stripped of his powers, and allowed to enter human society. Foom becomes the head chef of a Chinese restaurant within the Baxter Building.
