Fantastic Four:  

-- Generally: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm (or Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch (II) and The Thing).

-- Believing the entire Fantastic Four to be dead, Ghost Rider (II), The Hulk (in his Grey persona), Wolverine and Spider-Man join up to form a temporary Fantastic Four. They encounter the Mole Man and fight some Skrulls. It all winds up being a trick by the Skrull known as De'Lila. All ends well (more or less), and the original Fantastic Four returns. (FF 348-349).

Fairbanks, Terry:  

-- Stunt Rider and ex-husband of Nora Joyce. After fighting The Hulk, they make up. (TOGR 18).

Fargo, Flagg:  

-- Stunt cyclist.

-- After duplicating a few of Blaze's more famous stunts, he declares that Blaze is a coward and would never win a race against him. With the help of a local sports group, Blaze gets a new Motorcycle and takes him on, but after the first day, Flagg Fargo is ahead by one hundred points. (GR1 45).

-- By the end of the second night, Flagg Fargo is ahead by 225 points. Ghost Rider (I) , however, suspects him of cheating and being in league with Blinky and his pals and so confronts him. It turns out, however that Flagg Fargo is clean. Flagg Fargo eventually wins the competition by a mere five points. (GR1 46).

-- Flagg Fargo is hired by Caesar's in Vegas, which causes Blaze to lose his job at a nearby casino (The Diamond Cowgirl). Blaze challenges him to a rematch, and Flagg Fargo says they can do it in around two months. (GR1 56).

-- At the rematch, Flagg Fargo is shot by The Enforcer for refusing to throw the competition. Blaze saves Flagg Fargo and Flagg Fargo thanks him. The competition is called a draw. (GR1 58).

-- The Beyond Reason Spiritual Fellowship was created to bring him back into the world. His Master created him to dream the world into a new reality that would give The Master complete control. At least that's what Omen said. This doesn't sit well with what Iron Man discovered about his origins. To reconcile the two, let's say Fin Fang Foom was endowed with this power by The Master after the two came to an agreement. Whatever the nature of the beast was, he was soundly defeated by The Legion of Night. (LoN 1-2).

-- The timeline is a bit unsure here. The Mandarin used Fin Fang Foom as a weapon that allowed him to conquer one-third of China . But Fin's alien brethren came to claim the Mandarin's rings of power (which were used to guide the spaceships of these aliens). They are defeated by Iron Man overloading the rings of power, and the dragons all vanish. (IM 275).
