Inhuman

Inhuman: The character is a member of Homo sapiens inhumanus, a variant race of humanity genetically engineered by the Kree. For millennia, they lived isolated from the world, but they emerged in recent years, led by Black Bolt.

All Inhumans carry a latent gene that can be activated by the Terrigen Mist. The explosion of a Terrigen Bomb spread the mist across the entire planet, revealing that many humans (including Kamala Khan) had Inhuman genetics. Black Bolt was later forced to destroy the Inhumans, leaving few outside of the royal family alive.

The character is one of those rare Inhumans who survived.

Examples: Black Bolt, Crystal, Karnak, Lockjaw, Medusa, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan).

History

More than half a million years ago, the alien race known as the Kree visited Earth and experimented with a group of primitive humans. Their intent was to engineer soldiers in their intergalactic war for conquest, but instead it was foretold that said creations would one day destroy them.

The Kree ended their experiments and left the Earth, expecting the experiments to die, but the test subjects and their descendants would go on to form a society of their own isolated from the rest of humanity. They became known as The Inhumans, an advanced sub-species of the human race who gain their powers through exposure to Terrigen Mist, which activates the augmentations in their DNA.

Although The Inhumans were first believed to only exist in their city of Attilan, led by the Inhuman Royal Family, it was later discovered that Inhuman descendants are in fact scattered across the planet. Today, Inhumans are a unique species living alongside their human brethren, mutants, aliens, and others.
