| HistoryText = At the beginning of the [[Kree-Skrull War]], millions of years ago in Earth time, the alien [[Kree]] established a station on the planet [[Uranus]], a strategic position between the Kree and [[Skrull]] empires. Through their work at this station, they discovered that sentient life on nearby [[Earth]] had genetic potential invested in it by the alien [[Celestials]]. Intrigued, the Kree began to experiment on Earth's then-primitive homo sapiens by splicing Eternals' DNA into Cro-Magnons.

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. However, although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiment for reasons which are not yet clear.

Their test subjects, the Inhumans, went on to form a society of their own, which thrived in seclusion from the rest of humanity and developed advanced technology. Experiments with the mutagenic [[Terrigen Mist]] gave them various powers, but also caused lasting genetic damage and deformities. This led to a long-term selective breeding program to try to mitigate the effects of these mutations. Their city of Attilan has frequently been relocated and, as of 2005 stories, rests in the oxygen-bearing [[Blue Area of the Moon]].
  
  +
Inhumans are subject to diseases, among them "Gral's disease", a hereditary disease that expresses as extreme weakness in the sick Inhuman. It is not fatal if caught in time.{{r|Guardians of the Galaxy #27}}
−  
−
The once-secret existence of the race came to light among the general public as the Inhumans interacted more often with many of Earth's superheroes — including the [[Fantastic Four (Earth-616)|Fantastic Four]], the [[Avengers (Earth-616)|Avengers]], and the [[X-Men (Earth-616)|X-Men]] — whom they aided against threats such as [[Galactus (Earth-616)|Galactus]], [[Ultron (Earth-616)|Ultron]], [[Max Eisenhardt (Earth-616)|Magneto]], and [[En Sabah Nur (Earth-616)|Apocalypse]].
  
−  
−
The Inhumans were led by their king, [[Blackagar Boltagon (Earth-616)|Black Bolt]], and his royal family, consisting of [[Medusalith Amaquelin (Earth-616)|Medusa]], [[Karnak (Earth-616)|Karnak]], [[Gorgon (Earth-616)|Gorgon]], [[Triton (Earth-616)|Triton]], [[Crystalia Amaquelin (Earth-616)|Crystal]], [[Maximus (Earth-616)|Maximus the Mad]], and the canine [[Lockjaw (Earth-616)|Lockjaw]]. Both Crystal and Medusa were members of the Fantastic Four; Crystal also was a member of the [[Avengers (Earth-616)|Avengers]].
  
−  
−
One interesting observation was that [[Attilan]]'s society and culture were predicated on a conformist belief system which permitted individuality as it applied to genetic development and physical and mental ability, but demanded rigid conformity in that each member of society was assigned a place within that society according to those abilities following exposure to the [[Terrigen Mist]]. Once assigned, no Inhuman, no matter how great or powerful could change their place within this rigid caste system.
  
−  
−
Another interesting note is that the Inhumans' culture strictly prohibited miscegenation, or racial combining, between Inhumans and other races. Although a member of the royal family, the Inhuman Crystal appeared to have ignored this prohibition when she married outside of her caste to wed the mutant [[Pietro Maximoff (Earth-616)|Quicksilver]]. However, this may have been a privilege due to Crystal's standing as a member of the royal family.
  
−  
−
In contrast it appeared that such permissive behavior was lost on the children of the immediate members of the royal family. Gorgon's daughter, for example, attempted to form relationships outside of her caste and was strictly prohibited from doing so, although this may have been because her relationship was with an [[Alpha Primitive]], a cloned creature with subhuman intellect bred for labor, the lowest Inhuman caste. It was not clear, however, whether commoners faced such strict disciplinary measures under similar circumstances.
  
−  
−
However, Inhuman society changed radically. [[Ronan (Earth-616)|Ronan the Accuser]] sought to use the Inhumans as an army to disrupt the [[Shi'ar]] control of the [[Kree]] after their defeat in the [[Kree-Shi'ar War]]. Appearing over the city of Attilan, Ronan seized control in a surprise attack and forced the Inhumans and their king, Black Bolt, to obey, or he would destroy their only home and everyone in it. During their time in forced servitude, Ronan revealed that the Inhumans had always been intended as weapons in service to the Kree. To this end, much of the genetic attributes that were encoded in them during the original experiments were meant to give them the abilities and appearances of various alien races. The idea being that these Inhuman slaves could be used to infiltrate alien worlds and races to conduct espionage or assassinations to weaken potential conquests. Ronan used the Inhumans in just this manner, disrupting treaties being negotiated by the Shi'ar, and launching attacks on ships and bases. Eventually, Black Bolt sought to free his people by challenging Ronan to a personal battle. If Ronan won, the Inhumans would continue to serve him. If the king won, the Inhumans would go free. After a terrible battle, Black Bolt won and Ronan, demonstrating that the Kree still had honor, kept his word and left the Inhumans. All was not over however, as the Inhumans were not willing to just follow Black Bolt back to Earth. Pressure had been building in the closed society of Attilan since open contact with the outside world had been made. During their enslavement by Ronan, the Inhumans had wished for their freedom, but had also developed a sense of pride in their power and a belief in their own destiny. They no longer believed that Black Bolt or the royal family was fit to lead them in the new life they wanted, and they exiled the royal family from Attilan. The royal family returned to Earth to find their destiny. After suffering bigotry and living in [[Latveria]], they returned to Attilan which was located on the [[Blue Area of the Moon]]. The Inhumans are currently fostering better relations with Earth by sending students to a Wisconsin University.

Quicksilver stole the Terrigen Crystals in an attempt to give himself back his powers, and to give back the depowered mutants from [[M-Day]] their powers. The theft led to a conflict on [[Genosha]] between the re-powered mutants (whose powers came back as too powerful for their own good, and eventually surrendered), the Inhumans, and the [[Office of National Emergency (Earth-616)|U.S. Office of National Emergency.]] The conflict ended with the [[Office of National Emergency (Earth-616)|O.N.E.]] confiscating the Terrigen crystals, to which Black Bolt then verbally declared war on the United States.<ref>[[Comics:Son of M Vol 1|''Son of M'']]</ref> The Inhumans managed to recover the crystals, but the episode ended with Maximus again taking control of Attilan.<ref>[[Comics:Silent War Vol 1|''Silent War'']]</ref>

Sometime later Black Bolt was replaced by a Skrull impostor . The Skrulls attacked Attilan who intended to use Black Bolts's voice as a weapon of mass destruction. The Inhuman Royal Family defeated several Skrull soldiers and took a Skrull ship with the point of taking the war to the Skrulls and save Black Bolt. With some help from the Kree, they rescued Black Bolt and returned to Attilan.<ref>''Secret Invasion: Inhumans'' #1-4</ref>

Having decided that they would no longer be used and abused by other races, the Inhumans took drastic action to ensure their survival as a race. To that end, they activated a series of long dormant machines beneath the city of Attilan, transforming it into a gigantic starship, powered by Black Bolt's voice. Breaking free from its resting place on the Moon, Attilan entered hyperspace and tracked down the remnants of the Skrull Armada, completely eradicating it. As Attilan entered Shi'ar space, it attracted the attention of three Shi'ar warships, who ordered them to depart or they would open fire. They, too were destroyed without mercy.

Attilan reacheed the planet Hala, destroying the protective shield that guards their weakened empire and entered the planet itself. The Royal Family confronted Ronan the Accuser, who was serving as king. He admitted he felt that he was just holding the spot of ruler for their true king, Black Bolt.

Two mountain climbers reached the walls of their city, Attilan, in the Himalayas when they were turned back with their memories erased. The Inhumans made themselves known to the Fantastic Four when a member of their royalty, Crystal, fled to New York after being ordered to marry [[Blackagar Boltagon (Earth-1610)|Black Bolt's]] brother. Johnny came across Crystal and attempted to save her from two royal guards from Attilan who were trying to capture her. Beaten, Crystal took him back to the Baxter Building, and revealed herself to the Fantastic Four. She left her dog behind, who had the ability to teleport, which the Fantastic Four used to enter Attilan. Once their presence was discovered, the city was stripped of its advanced technology and destroyed by Black Bolt, and the Inhumans, including [[Crystalia Amaquelin (Earth-1610)|Crystal]], relocated. They are hinted to have relocated to the moon.<ref>Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual 1</ref>

The Ultimate Attilan is quite different in appearance from the MU version, like a giant wasp's nest crossed with a Gothic cathedral. Ultimate Crystal, Lockjaw and Black Bolt are similar to their counterparts; [[Medusalith Amaquelin (Earth-1610)|Medusa]] is depicted as having actual snakes for hair, like her mythical namesake. [[Gorgon (Earth-1610)|Gorgon]] is female, [[Karnak (Earth-1610)|Karnak]] projects energy blasts (though he can still sense weaknesses and pressure points), [[Triton (Earth-1610)|Triton]] has a more squid-like appearance, and [[Maximus (Earth-1610)|Maximus]] is a somewhat effete courtier, whom Crystal describes as "preening" and a "peacock". Other Inhumans shown include [[Tri-clops]], with clairvoyant vision (including the power to see the invisible), Densitor (Maximus' flunky, who can presumably increase his strength, durability and mass, enough to become fireproof) and an unnamed Inhuman who can produce a swarm of insect-like flying creatures from his body.

They claimed that their city had remained secret for 10,000 years, which makes their ancestors contemporaries with Ultimate Marvel Atlantis. After the freeing of Namor by the Fantastic Four it is discovered that Atlantis and the Inhumans had been at war for thousands of years, and it was the Inhumans that finally sank Atlantis.<ref>{{c|Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #1}}</ref>

=== [[Earth-X]] ([[Earth-9997]]) ===
  
−
The history of the Inhumans of Earth-99997 mirrored that of their Earth-616 counterparts, in that they were a group of humans who were selected centuries ago by the Kree for tests in which they were exposed to Terrigen Mists. This allowed for the Inhuman nation to gain great powers. This has been later revealed to have been the case because of Celestial manipulation of early man. Each human born was given a "Celestial Seed" which would allow for mutation. This was because the Celestials reproduced by impregnating planets with embryos which would birth after centuries of incubation, destroying the planet which served as it's womb. In order to defend this planetary incubator, the Celestials would manipulate the dominant species of the planet to act as unknowing anti-bodies. As such, in the case of the Inhumans, the Celestial seed would be activated upon exposure to the Terrigen Mists, granting them fantastic powers.
  
−  
−
The past history of the Inhumans of Earth-9997 continued much as it did on Earth-616, however it appeared at some point in history the Inhumans returned Attilan to the Himalayan mountains. The reason behind this move was unknown, however it's possible that the Inhuman nation began to grow tired with living on the Moon. Eventually, the Inhuman population grew tired of living in seclusion and decided to leave the Great Refuge to forge new destiny's among humanity. This happened at a time when Maximus was once more vying for another bid of power. Maximus had built a bomb that -- once detonated -- would release the Terrigen Mists into the Earth's atmosphere. The Inhuman Royal family would stop Maximus from doing so, Medusa killing him. With no kingdom to rule over, the Inhuman Royal Family decided to take to the stars and find their fate elsewhere in the universe. However, Black Bolt felt that his people would be persecuted and demonized by humanity, much like they treat mutants on the outside world, and as such Bolt decided to unleash the Terrigen Mist bomb filling Earth's atmosphere with the gas. This was unknown to all, including the Watcher, whom Black Bolt had blinded to prevent him from seeing. It has been suggested that Black Bolt had some intimate knowledge about the Celestials plans for the Earth, and releasing the Terrigen Mists on the Earth was a way to set plans in motion to stop the Celestial birth in Earth's core.
  
−  
−
Black Bolt's action effectively caused almost all the humans on Earth to become Inhumans, mutations happened on a global scale causing a major global crisis. Economies fell, food became scarce, and the worlds governments crumbled, most world leaders being replaced from long time super-humans who had experience with having super-human abilities. For the most part, those previously mutated by other means remained the same, while others mutated into vastly different forms. For example, most mutants did not see a change in their abilities, and neither did Peter Parker or Captain America, however others such as Black Panther, and the Hulk mutated further following the release of the Terrigen Mists.
  
−  
−
In space, the Inhuman royal family mutated further as well, it is unknown if this was a natural evolution of their powers, if it was triggered by their new environment in space, or further exposure to the Terrigen Mists. Whatever the reason, each member of the Inhuman royal family (with the exception of Luna who remained human) saw their Inhuman abilities increase. Gorgon and Triton would become more animal like in appearance, Karnak's head would increase in size and his mastery at finding flaws would envelop every aspect of his being, Medusa would grow more hair, and Black Bolt became something even more powerful, and less human all together. It appears that the Inhuman royal family are the only Inhumans that saw an increase in their mutation during this point in history, as all the long time Inhumans on Earth appear to have remained the same.
  
−  
−
The Inhuman Royal family returned to Earth after they saw the fate of the Eternals. Approaching the planet when the Eternals took as a home when they had left Earth, they found that the planet was destroyed from within and all the Eternals were encased in Vibranium. It was later revealed that the Eternals had the bad luck of settling on a world that was impregnated by the Celestials that had come to term. Fearing that the Earth could suffer the same fate (half-correctly believing that Vibranium was the cause) they returned to Earth looking to warn Reed Richards, and also to gather the members of their race, specifically their son whom they had left behind. Arriving on Earth, they found that everyone on Earth had mutated and everyone (except for Black Bolt) wondered what caused this. Also on Earth, they found Reed Richards and learned that Richards had taken up the identity of Dr. Doom following the death of Doom and his wife, and that he blamed himself for the mutation of all humanity. Richards (incorrectly) theorized that it was his Vibranium energy beacons -- devices he installed all over the world to try and solve the energy crisis -- that caused the mutation when a malfunction caused one of the beacons to explode, and transmit the fall out all over the globe. Agreeing to find the lost Inhuman nation, Reed reconfigured Charles Xavier's Cerebro machine to track down the Inhumans. Reed quickly found out that every mutate on the planet was registered as an Inhuman, and taking this information back to the royal family they learned the truth and realized that Black Bolt had unleashed the weapon which his brother Maximus had created.
  
−  
−
Ultimately, X-51 (who had been selected by the Watcher to record Earth's history since being struck blind) revealed to Reed Richards the truth of the Celestials' plans for humanity, and that the Final Host was coming to Earth to pass final judgment on the planet. Black Bolt was the first to tackle the Celestials alone, however this proved to be a distraction. In his dieing breath, Black Bolt called for Galactus, as Galactus was revealed to be the counter force in the universe insuring that the Celestials would not over breed and take over the universe. Galactus (in reality, Franklin Richards, mutated into a new Galactus following the death of the original) fought off the Celestials who came to Earth.
  
−  
−
Following the defeat of the Celestials, and the destruction of the embryo growing in the Earth's core, the Inhuman royal family was taken to Medusa and Black Bolt's son, who had been left in the care of King Britain and trained to be the new Black Knight. Given a new costume made out of Vibranium modeled after his father's own costume, the new Black Bolt refused to lead an entire planet of Inhumans, choosing servitude over royalty. Black Bolt the 2nd ended up becoming one of Earth's champions, leading the Iron Avengers on various missions. In addition, Bolt's planned wedding to Luna (who had now mutated into a new form thanks to her exposure to the Terrigen Mists) did not come to pass, as Bolt had no interest in marrying Luna.
  
−  
−
Medusa and King Britain eventually agreed to marry to unite the Inhuman and human nations into one unified monarchy. This plot was almost foiled when Mephisto used his powers to free Meggan, Britain's first wife who had been trapped in stone for years following a battle with the Grey Gargoyle. Meggan eventually sacrificed her life trying to stop Mephisto from rallying an army of Deviants to take over the Earth.

The fates of individual Inhumans are as follows:
  
−  
−
* '''[[Blackagar Boltagon (Earth-9997)|Black Bolt the 1st]]:''' As mentioned above, Black Bolt sacrificed himself in order to call forth Galactus. His soul ended up in the Realm of the Dead, where it joined with Mar-Vel's army against Death. Black Bolt was kept in reserve as a secret weapon, and it was his addition to the final battle that assisted in turning the tide. Following the death of Death, he eventually was transmutated by Mar-Vel to be a member of the Avenging Host, a group of super-beings that acted as guardians of Mar-Vel's Paradise. When the Host learned that the ever expanding Paradise was consuming the Negative Zone, and that all the paradise realities created for the dead interned in the realm were nothing but idle wish fulfillment, they confronted Mar-Vel and were destroyed. Ultimately, Mar-Vel turned his vast powers over to Reed Richards, who restored Black Bolt and the other members of the Avenging Host back to life. He continued to act as defender of Paradise.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Medusalith Amaquelin (Earth-9997)|Medusa]]:''' After spending time at Castle Doom with the rest of the Royal Family, she traveled to Britain with Luna to find her son. Upon learning that her son was in the care of King Britain she remained in England as a guest of King Britain at Buckingham Palace. She soon learned her son had no intention to lead the Inhuman race. She joined Captain America, Mar-Vel, King Britain and Black Bolt the 2nd to the Siege Perilous. Mar-Vel intended to go there to collect the books of Darkhold and Vishanti as well as part of the Cosmic Consciousness that was granted to the reincarnation of Merlin. There Medusa met Merlin, Roma, and Psylock. Before leaving she gazed upon Death, who was stalking Mar-Vel and Captain America. She later helped defend Buckingham Palace from an attack by the Tong of Creel, however they failed in stopping them from collecting a part of the Absorbing Man which was trusted to King Britain to keep safe. Later she and King Britain were married to try and unite the Inhuman and human race in a global monarchy. This was marred when Mephisto used his powers to free Meggan, who'd been turned into stone years before by the Grey Gargoyle. However, when Buckingham Palace was invaded by Mephisto -- leading an army of Deviants -- Meggan sacrificed herself in battle, and Medusa and the others won the fight which ended in Mephisto's death. Presumably, she continued to act as King Britain's queen.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Gorgon (Earth-9997)|Gorgon]] & [[Triton (Earth-9997)|Triton]]:''' Remained at Castle Doom, even after Medusa traveled to Britain to be reunited with her son. They aided Reed Richards and the newly resurrected Susan Richards around the castle. When Earth was on the brink of being destroyed due to the repolarization caused by the death of the Celestial growing in Earth's core, they almost fled Earth with the Richards family. They were present during King Britain and Medusa's wedding. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Karnak (Earth-9997)|Karnak]]:''' Grew disgusted by the proposed union between King Britain and Medusa, seeing it as an insult to the perfection of the Inhuman race. He returned to the Hidden Land as a reclusive. There he was met by the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had traveled back in time to learn how humanity was mutated in hopes of using this knowledge to defeat the Badoon, an alien race that took over their future world. Karnak informed them to see Reed Richards, and sent them on their way. His current activities are unknown.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Ahura Boltagon (Earth-9997)|Black Knight/Black Bolt the 2nd]]:''' Prior to the mutation of humanity, the child of Black Bolt and Medusa was ordered to be terminated. In order to protect their son Black Bolt left his child in the care of King Britain. The boy grew up in Britain's care and became the new Black Knight, following the original night being turned into stone by the Grey Gargoyle. He acted as Britain's body guard. When his true identity and heritage was revealed to him as an adult, he changed his name to Black Bolt in honor of his father and wore a Vibranium costume designed after his fathers. Uninterested in acting as king of the Inhuman nation or marrying Luna, Bolt soon became the team leader for the Iron Avengers, robots based on the Avengers who were killed in battle against the Absorbing Man. He accompanied his mother to the Siege Perilous with Mar-Vel and Captain America. Later he helped defend Buckingham Palace from an attack by the Tong of Creel. Later, he took an army of Iron Avengers to the Savage Land to investigate why the Human Torch there went out. With the help of Iron Maiden and Jade Dragon, they defeated the Toad, who swapped powers with Magneto and enslaved the former master of magnetism. He later helped New York's heroes in trying to stop the Absorbing Man from destroying the Human Torch there. Later still, Bolt defended Buckingham Palace from an attack by Mephisto and an army of Deviants seeking to claim the sword Excalibur, one of the few items that could kill following the death of Death. Black Bolt the 2nd later joined Loki (who had taken on the guise of Thor) and Ransak the Reject in forming a new team of Avengers. His current activities are unknown.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Maximus (Earth-9997)|Maximus]]:''' The mad brother of Black Bolt was responsible for the creation of the Terrigen Mist bomb that Black Bolt unleashed. He was killed in battle against the Inhuman royal family when Medusa broke his neck. His soul ended up in the Realm of the Dead where it was in constant conflict with other super-beings. When Mar-Vel killed Death and built Paradise, Maximus was one of the first souls granted access to the realm. When given a piece of the Cosmic Cube to create his own paradise world, he created a world where he was sane and ruler of the Inhuman nation. He was pulled out of this reality when the Kree invaded Paradise. His current activities are unknown.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Lockjaw (Earth-9997)|Lockjaw]]:''' Was killed by Maximus during his last coup against the Inhuman royal family. Although Lockjaw was dead, the Inhumans were able to continue using his tuning fork as a teleportation device. It was used by the royal family, Captain America, and Reed Richards to get around to various points of the Earth. It was in the possession of Medusa once more.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Crystalia Amaquelin (Earth-9997)|Crystal]]:''' Crystal's current activities are unknown. It's possible that she was still alive as she was not seen in the Realm of the Dead or Paradise. Death used her image during her battle against Mar-Vel to trick Quicksilver into thinking she was still alive.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Luna Maximoff (Earth-9997)|Luna]]:''' Began to mutate upon her arrival on Earth. The Terrigen Mists turned her into a butterfly like creature. At first she turned into a cocoon which ultimately hatched. Her marriage to Black Bolt the 2nd did not come to pass as Bolt had no interest in marriage. She remained at Buckingham Palace with Medusa, and she grew an interest for Jack of Hearts. If this romantic interest was mutual or not remained unrevealed, her current activities are unknown.
  
−  
−
* '''[[Timberius (Earth-9997)|Timberus]], [[Leonus (Earth-9997)|Leonus]], & [[Stallior (Earth-9997)|Stallior]]:''' All relocated to New York City. When the Earth's poles had shift, making the food supply even more scarce, this trio of Inhuman ne'er-do-wells took their pure Inhuman heritage to be a right to privilege. They raided a food warehouse, which was investigated by NYPD's Peter Parker. Parker tried to stop them, however their powers proved to be too much for them. They were stopped by Spiders Man, who used his illusions to convince them to join the ranks of the Church of Immortus. Their current activities following the collapse of the Church remain unrevealed.

History

Inhuman Culture

Inhuman Biology

Terrigenesis

The Terrigenesis is the source of most of the Inhumans' powers. Please consult the following pages for more information: Inhuman Law, Terrigenesis

Diseases

Inhumans are subject to diseases, among them "Gral's disease", a hereditary disease that expresses as extreme weakness in the sick Inhuman. It is not fatal if caught in time.[7]

Alternate Universe Inhumans

The Inhumans are present in many realities, with more or less important variations in their history, appearances, and biology.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Varies, if any. Even without using the Terrigen Mist, centuries of selective breeding have given some Inhumans certain advantages. Their average lifespan is 150 years.[8]

Without Terrigenesis, Karnak possess strength, reaction time, speed, or endurance superior to humanity's most perfect physical specimen, Captain America, due to his eugenically superior Inhuman heritage and intensive training.[9] Other Inhumans haven't been clearly shown to possess such powers originated from training and eugenics solely.

Medusa claimed that "her people" didn't really feel cold.[10] It is unknown if it is a power common to Inhumans or if she is referring to the Attilans who lived for centuries in the North Atlantic, then decades in the Himalayas.

The Inhumans were meant by the Kree scientist who created them to be a "deadly weapon of cosmic scale", "Galactus-level weapons".[11]

Average Strength Level

Inhumans' strengh level can vary regarding their powers, originated from Terrigenesis or hereditary transmission.

Without Terrigenesis, Karnak can lift 1 ton and is physically slightly superior to the peak of normal human physical achievement, due to his eugenically superior Inhuman heritage and intensive training.[9]

Other Inhumans, without Terrigenesis or extensive training, haven't been shown to display any degree of superhuman strength.

Weaknesses

Due to their closed society, Inhumans have a far lower threshold to disease and pollution than ordinary humans.[12][13]

Habitat

Habitat

Attilan, same as Earth

Gravity

Same as Earth

Atmosphere

Same as Earth, though with no germs or pollution

Population

At present there are about 1,230 living Inhumans, all of whom dwell in Attilan.

Miscellaneous

Type of Government

Monarchy. Inhuman society is formatted in the style of a genocracy; ruled by the genetically fittest. As such, the elected Genetics Council is the major ruling body of the Inhumans besides the Royal Family.[8]

Level of Technology

Mostly Genetic Manipulation, though in general superior to Earth standard. Echo-Technology, which utilizes power from vibranium capacitors that store whispers of Black Bolt, including Echo-Skeleton Armor and Echo-Weapons (designed by Maximus).[14]

Cultural Traits

Miscegenation Prohibition, Rigid Caste System based on abilities, Conformists. Marriages have long been arranged by the government to eugenically further the race with couples only allowed to have a maximum of two offspring.[8] Those born with powers not useful enough to Inhuman society are cast off to live in the Darkward End of Attilan as rejected outcasts and unmentionables to be detached from their former associates and family members.[15]

Notes

Trivia

  • When asked if there was a way to distinguish Inhumans from mutants, Tom Brevoort (presumably joking) stated that all Inhumans were left-handed.[20]
