History ComicBook / TheInhumans

Outside of the royal family, Inhumans have been showing up in the MCU on ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', with protagonist ComicBook/DaisyJohnson undergoing Terrigenesis in the second mid-season finale. They will show up again in the ''Ms. Marvel'' series for Disney+, but there are no further details such as the cast or if the team will be rebooted or not.

* FieryRedhead: Medusa, who has PrehensileHair.

During the ''Comicbook/{{Infinity}}'' CrisisCrossover, it is revealed that hidden tribes of Inhumans have lived around the world for a number of years, and mated with the general population. It is discovered that a number of seemingly-normal humans across the globe actually have dormant Inhuman genes, which can be activated by Terrigen Mists and as a result of destruction of the Inhuman capital in the event, clouds of Terrigen Mists began spreading across the globe doing so. This becomes the central plot of the ''ComicBook/{{Inhumanity}}'' crossover, producing new super human characters throughout the Marvel Universe and a new ongoing series titled ''Inhuman'' about the surviving Inhumans and newly discovered ones dealing with the fallout. Originally intended to be written by Creator/MattFraction, creative difference led Fraction to leave, prompting to Marvel replace him with Creator/CharlesSoule. He's currently the incumbent architect of [[ComicBook/CharlesSoulesInhumans the flagship Inhuman titles]].

With the launch of ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel'', the Inhumans brand expanded again. ''Inhumanity'' was replaced with two new ongoing series: ''[[ComicBook/CharlesSoulesInhumans Uncanny Inhumans]]'', following Medusa and Black Bolt, along with several of their allies including [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and Comicbook/{{Beast|Marvel Comics}}; ''[[ComicBook/CharlesSoulesInhumans All-New Inhumans]]'' saw Crystal and a team of old and new Inhumans investigating mysterious power-boosting towers appearing around the world. In addition to this, Inferno and new Inhuman Psynapse joined the ComicBook/UncannyAvengers, Karnak received his own ongoing, and Devil Dinosaur teamed with eleven year-old [=NuHuman=] genius Lunella Lafayette in ''ComicBook/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur''.

Created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby, the Inhumans were once primitive humans, though experiments performed on them long ago by the extraterrestrial Kree race (the same race that ComicBook/CaptainMarVell belongs to) gave them advanced intelligence. With time, The Kree forgot about their creations and they were left alone to form their own civilization, located on Attilan aka "The Great Refuge", a walled city on an island in the Atlantic sea. Eventually, they discovered a substance called [[AppliedPhlebotinum "terrigen"]] that either gave people superpowers, a bizarre appearance, or both. They ended up basing their very culture on its use (and LegoGenetics in general.)

The Inhumans are a monarchy whose Royal Family tends to be among their most powerful members; they also [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething go out and kick butt]] when necessary. Their king is ComicBook/BlackBolt, who besides being a FlyingBrick with [[ShockAndAwe electrical powers]] also has a voice that can literally destroy cities; he is thus forced to remain silent, communicating only by sign language (his wife, ComicBook/{{Medusa}}, often translates for him). Bolt's brother, Maximus, [[CainAndAbel hates him out of envy]] and has tried to usurp the crown many times. At one point their cousin Crystal had a romantic relationship with Johnny Storm (the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four) and has even been a member of that group and of ComicBook/TheAvengers. However she ended up marrying the mutant hero ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} instead. They had a daughter, Luna, who has often been a target of villainous plans, what with being related not just to the Royal Inhumans but also to the ComicBook/XMen's foe ComicBook/{{Magneto}}.

The Inhumans are a [[HiddenElfVillage secret race]] of superhumans within the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. Although they started out as just background characters for the ComicBook/JackKirbysFantasticFour, they've since become involved with other characters and have even starred in their own series occasionally. Originally a single Inhuman, Medusa, was introduced as a villain in ''Fantastic Four'' #36 (March, 1965). Then her cousin Gorgon turned up in #44 (November, 1965), and the rest of the family in #45 (December, 1965), during the ''ComicBook/AmongUsHideTheInhumans'' story arc.

After the events of the ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', the Inhumans [[EasilyConqueredWorld renewed their ties with a weakened Kree Empire]] and lead the Kree Empire forces against the Shi'ar Empire in the ''ComicBook/WarOfKings'' miniseries. After the events of that series they have become a dominant power within the galaxy.

Some time after the events of ''ComicBook/TheThanosImperative'', a group called the Universal Inhumans was discovered based on four other races: Kymellians, [[ComicBook/ROMSpaceKnight Dire Wraiths]], [[Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Centaurians and Badoons]]. They too were products of Kree experiments with their people but were brought together under the prophecy that Black Bolt would lead them. Black Bolt would eventually led his Inhumans to assimilate with this new faction and leave the Kree empire and its people in Kree control, although bad blood still exists between the Inhumans and Kree.

*** Actually, Mutants are NotSoDifferent in that regard: they are a result of ancient experimentation on humans by [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Celestials]].

* AmplifierArtifact: Skyspears, obelisk like structures that have begun appearing in or around populated areas in the ''"All-New All-Different"'' era stories will, per WordOfGod, play an integral role in Inhuman stories to come. Grid and Iso comment that their powers seemed to grow stronger in its proximity, and Crystal will be leading a team that in part will be investigating these strange artifacts.

* AristocratTeam: The race is a monarchy whose most powerful members are it's royal family and are usually seen working together to fight a common treat.

* PrehensileHair: Medusa

-->'''Rynda:''' Mander's always been strange. Anyway, ''she'' thinks we shouldn't be experimenting on our children at ''all''.
-->'''Agon:''' ... well, whose children ''should'' we experiment on?

* MrExposition: All of the Inhumans (besides Black Bolt, of course). They just love to talk. This probably arose because for a long time, the early ''Fantastic Four'' issues would cut back to the Inhumans trapped in their city for a brief update, and there had to be a dialogue {{recap}} for new readers... and the idea that redundant exposition is the Inhumans' [[PlanetOfHats hat]] just stuck.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Black Bolt.

In 2014, an ''Inhumans'' movie (featuring the royal family) was announced for Phase 3 of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, but it was eventually taken off the release schedule for unknown reasons (with a prominent rumor being that it was only included on the slate at the request of Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter as a quid-pro-quo to let Creator/KevinFeige develop a ''[[Film/CaptainMarvel2018 Captain Marvel]]'' movie; once Feige no longer had to answer directly to Perlmutter thanks to corporate restructuring, the project was shelved). In 2016, it was confirmed that the Inhumans would be getting [[Series/{{Inhumans}} a television series]] instead, produced by Creator/{{ABC}} Studios and Creator/{{IMAX}}, with the latter screening its first two episodes in theaters ahead of the television debut.
