Ted

Ted was a marijuana farmer along with his colleagues, Jen & Reno and operated an illegal pot farm in the forests of Honolulu, Hawaii. The three came upon an injured Inhuman known as Karnak, which caused some anxiety among the group as suspicions rose that he might be an undercover cop, or perhaps someone from a rival cartel. Jen pleaded Karnak's case to stay and recover with them, and Ted agreed with her.

Ten Rings

The Ten Rings is a massive criminal cartel whose origins are shrouded in myth and legend. Their origins purportedly lie in the rise of a man named Xu Wenwu, who discovered the secret to increased longevity and great power when he acquired ten mystical rings. Sometimes referred to as either Master Khan or the Mandarin, Xu Wenwu carved out an empire that eventually came to span the globe. By the modern era, the Ten Rings operated as ten distinctive cells within one massive framework. Few knew who the true leader of the Ten Rings was, and fewer still had ever seen his face. Because of this, members of the Ten Rings came to regard the organization as not only a criminal cartel, but also an aspect of their faith.

In 2008, a sect of the Ten Rings was operating out of Gulmira in Afghanistan. This group served as local warlords and were led by a man named Raza Hamidmi Al-Wazar. Raza secretly conspired with American industrialist Obadiah Stane of Stark Industries to set a trap for the company's CEO, Tony Stark. The Ten Rings attacked Stark during a demonstration of the Jericho missile for members of the United States Air Force. Stark was critically injured by one of his own weapons and abducted by the Ten Rings. Led by Raza's lieutenant, Abu Bakaar, they forced him to work alongside another prisoner, Ho Yinsen, to construct weapons for them. Knowing that the Ten Rings would never allow either of them to live, Stark instead used the resources provided him to construct a crude rudimentary power armor. Ho Yinsen sacrificed his life to provide Tony enough time to escape. Donning the armor, Tony fought his way to freedom.

Terrigen

Terrigen is a chemical compound developed by an alien race known as the Kree. When it interacts with the physiology of a humanoid experiment dubbed an Inhuman, it has the effect of activating the being's dormant superhuman potential. Only humans gifted with the Inhuman gene benefit from this effect. To normal human beings, Terrigen is fatal. Exposure to it causes the body to transform into a black mineral substance and then crumbles to dust. Terrigen exists in a gaseous form, but can be solidified wherein it takes on a crystalline structure. These blue-colored samples of solidified Terrigen are commonly referred to as Terrigen crystals.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie were fighting an Inhuman teleporter named Gordon, who was in possession of one such Crystal. After Gordon was killed, he dropped the crystal, but Coulson leaped forward to catch it before it could shatter on the floor, thus making the Terrigen Mist airborne. Contact with the crystal began to transmutate his right hand until Mack cut it off with an axe. (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: S.O.S. (Part 2))

Large quantities of Terrigen were dumped into the ocean and thus were spread through the ecosystem, though it seemed to effect only humans. Members of Earth's intelligence agency, S.H.I.E.L.D. have worked extensively to understand Terrigen's effects on human biology. (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: S.O.S. (Part 2))

Terrigenesis

Terrigenesis refers to a biological process that occurs after one is exposed to the chemical compound known as Terrigen. When it interacts with the physiology of a humanoid experiment dubbed an Inhuman, it has the effect of activating the being's dormant superhuman potential. Only humans gifted with the Inhuman gene benefit from this effect. To normal human beings, Terrigen is fatal. Exposure to it causes the body to transform into a black mineral substance and then crumbles to dust. Terrigen exists in a gaseous form, but can be solidified wherein it takes on a crystalline structure. These blue-colored samples of solidified Terrigen are commonly referred to as Terrigen crystals.

A scientist named Holden Radcliffe was coerced by the Inhuman progenitor Hive to make advancements in the Terrigenesis effect in order to create an army for him. This process worked on ordinary humans, but instead of gifting each of them with unique abilities, it transformed them into grotesque creatures that were subservient to Hive's commands. They were referred to as Primitives, or Alpha Primitives. (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Emancipation)

Tess

Tess was born sometime in the late 21st century of an alternate future timeline. She was part of a small group of humans that were born following the destruction of the Earth. She was raised aboard the Kree-controlled orbiting space station known as the Lighthouse. Like all humans, Tess was outfitted with a Metrics implant, that allowed senior officers to track her whereabouts. Tess worked for a salvage supervisor named Grill. She was close to another worker named Virgil, who believed that heroes from the past would come to this time era to liberate humanity. After Virgil was killed by Vrellnexian scavenger beasts, she met these time-displaced heroes, who were actually agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from ninety-plus years in the past.

Thomas Roberts

Thompson was a female police officer and a member of the New York City Police Department. Along with Brett Mahoney, she was credited with capturing murderous vigilante Frank Castle, even though it was actually Daredevil, who had apprehended him. While Daredevil explained to Mahoney how the NYPD needed to take credit for the collar, Sergeant Thompson kept her gun leveled on the injured Castle. (Daredevil: Penny and Dime)

Tibor

Tibor was a member of the race of genetically engineered human offshoots known as the Inhumans. She lived in the city of Attilan on Earth's moon and was a member of the Inhuman Genetic Council. As was the custom with all Inhumans, Tibor underwent terrigenesis.

Tibor was a childhood friend of Maximus Boltagon, but their friendship whethered some strain when Tibor turned his back on him. As an adult, Tibor became a member of the Genetic Council. When Maximus took control of the throne of Attilan, he asked Tibor if he was still loyal to him, to which Tibor nervously told him "Yes". He then asked Maximus to forgive him for the crimes of his childhood, but Maximus told him that forgiveness was overrated.

Trev

Trev is the shortened given name for Trevor Slattery. After acquiring worldwide fame as the terrorist mastermind known as the Mandarin, Trevor Slattery became something of a celebrity. In truth, he was really just a drug addicted stage actor, but although his actions resulted in a death row sentence, he embraced the newfound fame that it afforded him. When Trevor Slattery was transferred to Seagate Prison, he quickly cultivated a group of loyal followers. These fans bequeathed him the nickname "Trev", which Slattery enjoyed immensely. According to Trevor, the "Trev" nickname started back in 1988 when he met actor Sean Connery, who purportedly gave him the moniker. (Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King)
