Also referred to by its full name, the Inhuman Genetic Council, this organization also appeared in the shared continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They appeared in the 2017 television series Inhumans and were introduced in the pilot episode of the program, "Behold... The Inhumans".

Overview
The Genetic Council is both a scientific cabal as well as an authoritative body governing the genetically engineered humanoid race dubbed the Inhumans. Outside of the Royal Family, they represent the highest level of government in their culture.

The Genetic Council oversee the cultivation of Terrigen crystals, which are used to generate the Terrigen Mist used in the process known as terrigenesis. Exposure to Terrigen is considered a rite of passage expected of all Inhumans, including members of the Royal Family, and prompts a physiological change in the individual, resulting in physical mutation. This mutation is often accompanied by the development of some extra-normal ability.
