(If you've seen the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television show, it's the same concept as the tainted fish oil, only on a global scale.)

Wait... I do have a question about this particular aspect... The cloud... is it always floating around the Earth or did it just pass through the planet once, then dissipate? I only recently got into the comics, and that specific event confused me (and yet oddly enough, I understand most of Secret Wars?) Because if it's mist, the liquid form of it should've been incorporated into the water cycle, thus causing the occasional Terrigen cloud, right?
