The Inhumans are a terrestrial race of beings featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and were first introduced in Fantastic Four, Volume 1 #45 back in December, 1965. They have made frequent recurring appearances throughout that title, and eventually landed their own ongoing comic series back in 1975, which only lasted twelve issue. They were given a second series in 1998, which also lasted twelve issues, and then a four-issue limited series in 2000. In 2003, the Inhumans were given yet another ongoing series, which again, lasted only twelve issues.

Biology[]

For the most part, Inhumans bear strong similarity to standard Earth humans. However, the custom of exposing their young to the mysterious Terrigen Mist may alter an Inhuman's physicality, prompting them to grow additional enlarged or vestigial limbs.

Notable mutagenic side-effects amongst Inhumans may include, cloven-hooves, living hair, enlarged craniums, as well as various mutant super-powers and the restrictions that may apply to them.

Origins[]

Thousands of years ago, the Kree began to experiment on Earth's then-primitive Homo sapiens to produce the genetically advanced Inhuman race. Their goal was apparently twofold—to investigate possible ways of circumventing their own evolutionary stagnation, and to create a powerful mutant race of soldiers for use against the Skrulls. Although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiment because a genetic prophecy had predicted that the experiments would eventually lead to an anomaly who would destroy the Kree Supreme Intelligence.

Hybrids[]

These are beings who are not of genetic Inhuman ancestry, but rather are normal humans who develop Inhuman characteristics, and powers, as a result of being exposed to the Terrigen Mist. When the Terrigen bomb was released, New York City was covered in the mist, and spread out across to New Jersey. High school student Kamala Khan was but one person who a human being who became an Inhuman hybrid after being exposed to the mist. She became the super-hero known as Ms. Marvel.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The concept behind the Inhumans was first developed by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.
  • Season two of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. contained a lot of material implying the existence of the Inhumans, though they never presented any of the known members, or referred to the group by name. However, the season did include a character who could serve as a passable Maximus the Mad, and key plot points led the characters to a hidden underground city on Earth - Attilan. The character of Skye was revealed to be of alien origin - a hybrid being whose conception is tied into that of another alien race - the Kree.
  • The character of Crystal, having been both a member of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, as well as a member of the Royal Family, has made more appearances than any other Inhuman.
