History

• Inhuman History

Inhuman Culture

Language

Inhumans speak their own language, Tilan, but also learn human languages as English, Russian and Chinese.

Inhuman Biology

Terrigenesis

The Terrigenesis is the source of most of the Inhumans' powers. Please consult the page for more information.

Diseases

Inhumans are subject to diseases, among them "Gral's disease", an hereditary disease expressing as a extreme weakness for the sick Inhuman. It is not fatal if caught in time.

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, the Kree modifications, combined with centuries of selective breeding have given all Inhumans certain advantages. Their average lifespan is 150 years, and an inhuman in good physical condition possesses strength, reaction time, speed, and endurance that are all superior to the finest of human athletes.

• Enhanced Strength An average (unmodified by Terrigen) inhuman in good physical condition can lift one ton.
• Enhanced Speed An average (unmodified by Terrigen) inhuman in good physical condition is slightly faster than Captain America, and thus superior to the finest human athlete.
• Enhanced Reflexes An average (unmodified by Terrigen) inhuman in good physical condition has reflexes slightly superior to Captain America's, and is thus superior to the finest human athlete.
• Enhanced Endurance The endurance of an average (unmodified by Terrigen) inhuman in good physical condition is slightly superior to Captain America's, and is thus superior to the finest human athlete.

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

Average Strength Level

Karnak and other normal Inhumans who are in excellent physical shape, can lift 1 ton and are physically slightly superior to the peak of normal human physical achievement.

Weaknesses

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

Notes

• Inhumans were once stated by Dal Damoc to be the products of Kree experiments on Homo antecessor. Given the fact that the Inhumans are only twenty five thousand years old, it caused some continuity incomprehension.
  • Karnak later stated that Inhomo supremis was the product of manipulations on Homo neanderthalensis.
• 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".

Trivia

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