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, biology.Powers and Abilities
Powers
Varies, if any. Even without using the Terrigen Mist, centuries of selective breeding have given some Inhumans certain advantages.[citation needed] Their average lifespan is 150 years,[8] and inhuman in good physical condition can possess strength, reaction time, speed, or endurance superior to the finest of human athletes.[citation needed]
Average Strength Level
Karnak[citation needed] and some other normal Inhumans who are in excellent physical shape,[citation needed] can lift 1 ton and are physically slightly superior to the peak of normal human physical achievement.[citation needed]
Weaknesses
Due to their closed society, Inhumans have a far lower threshold to disease and pollution than ordinary humans.[citation needed]
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).[10]
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.[11]

Notes
- Inhumans were once stated by Dal Damoc to be the products of Kree experiments on Homo antecessor.[4]
- Karnak later stated that Inhomo supremis was the product of manipulations on Homo neanderthalensis,[1] and Medusa on early Homo sapiens.[6]
- The Inhumans can be considered a by-product of the Celestials' tampering, by sparking a "recessive genetic potential for greatness in the human DNA code".[12]
- It was stated by Kree that the Inhumans were of Kree lineage and that they had Kree blood[13] and genes.[14]
- In Earth-199999, the Inhumans were created using Kree blood.[15]
Trivia
When asked if there was a way to distinguish Inhumans from mutants, Tom Brevoort (presumably joking) stated that all Inhumans were left-handed.[16]
