History

Terrigen is an incredible rare mineral first created by the Kree as part of their attempts at recreating Primagen, which gives rise to the Terrigen Mist. Guarded by the Inhumans, these crystals formed in the subterranean Terrigen Waters on Earth's Moon near the city of Attilan. When exposed to water at the correct temperature, the crystals react with the water to produce the Terrigen Mist vapor. These mists are pumped into flux chambers during the process of "Terrigenesis." The crystals themselves are kept in a sealed cavern below the surface of Attilan, where they are constantly exposed to heat and saline water.

Notes

• Maximus used the last Terrigen Crystal in known existence to empower the Unspoken.
