Mordis

Mordis is a fictional alien super-villain and a recurring antagonist featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He appeared on the ABC television series Inhumans, where he was played by actor Bridger Zadina. He was introduced in the third episode of the show, "Divide and Conquer".

Biography
Mordis is the guy that never gets invited to all the cool parties. Mostly because he is also the guy most likely to kill everybody in the room. Mordis fires a death ray blast from his face, and requires a special helmet in order to contain his power. For this reason, he is considered a major uncontrollable threat, and spends most of his time locked away in a secure vault on Attilan.

Maximus took special precautions to free Mordis, and then assigned him to a group of Inhuman Royal Guards for a mission to Earth where he was to help them sanction the Inhuman exile, Gorgon. Guard leader Auran led the mission, but she was not comfortable with having such a wild card on her team.

Landing in Hawaii, Mordis complained about walking through the dense forests and asked another guard named Flora to use her planet control abilities to clear a path. The team ultimately caught up with Gorgon and his new comrades, and Mordis was finally able to unleash his power.

Later, the group managed to find the deposed rulers of Attilan, Black Bolt and Medusa. During the fight, Black Bolt released a natural gas container as a means of preventing Mordis from using his power, less he causes the deaths of his entire team. In the thick of battle however, Mordis' face blast ignited the natural gas, and the ensuing explosion had devastating consequences for the royal guards.
