  Inhuman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Inhumans are led by their king, Black Bolt, and his royal family, consisting of Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, Crystal, Maximus the Mad, and the canine Lockjaw.
Although a member of the royal family, the Inhuman Crystal appears to have ignored this prohibition married outside of her caste to wed the mutant Quicksilver.
Their average lifespan is 150 years, and an inhuman in good physical condition possesses strength, reaction time, speed, and endurance are all superior to of the finest human athletes.

 Sequart.com Columns > Reviews for 28 May 2003 (Optic Verve #37)
The Inhumans, for those unfamiliar with the concept (read: those less steeped in Marvel lore), is less a story of a superhero team than it is the history of an entire race.
For the Inhumans, however, the greater-than-normal powers spring not from the onset of puberty, but from immersion into what are known as the Terrigen Mists, which act as the catalyst for a process called Terrigenesis.
As a result, the book reminds us, younger Inhumans are actively discouraged from seeking out any sort of vocational training, as the reality of their adult life may be quite different from what they would hope for.

 Inhumans 6
The Inhumans have traveled to Earth in a peacemaker fashion to join two misguided cultures together.
He has managed to create a story which is based on a somewhat overdone plot in comics, the humans vs. the outsiders/mutant super-beings, and not only infuse it with life and purpose but also introduce some really interesting characters.
For all their strengths and powers the Inhumans also struggle with some inner demons and flaws which essentially bring them closer to being human than they would like to think.

The Inhumans are a race of beings who diverged from mainstream humanity twenty-five thousand years ago as a result of genetic experimentation on primitive man performed by the alien Kree.
Centuries later, an Inhumans leader named Gral, tired of the discrimination against the non-human-looking minority, instituted a reign of terror in which the entire population of Attilan was involuntarily subjected to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist.
The general public is aware of the existence of the Inhuman race, although few human beings outside the Fantastic Four and Avengers have ever been to Attilan.

 FANBOY PLANET.com .: rs-inhumans :.
It seems that Marvel, in focusing on the same teenage characters from the initial story arc (plus two), have deemed Inhumans to be Marvel Age appropriate and have thrown together a slim, yet still composed of six issues, collection of the "Culture Shock" arc.
Inhumans are just that: inhuman, or perhaps more precisely, more than human.
Their society is one in which your entire life is determined by your mutation; if you’ve sprouted wings, you become part of the aerial guard and if you manifest the ability to shape matter into glowing sculptures of light, you are an artist.

Born of earth, the Inhumans were chosen by the alien race the Kree for a sort of evolutionary experiment.
The Inhumans occupy Attilan, a city protected by a dome of energy and placed at the tip of the recently risen peninsula that was once Atlantis.
We learn that the Inhumans cherish their uniqueness, that no Inhuman is the same, and the one thing that holds them together is confidence in their laws and their King.

 Would the Inhumans be considered mutants? - The Superhero Hype! Boards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I was just thinking about it, and the Inhumans are a race of beings who are born with genetic traits that give super powers.
Granted that Inhumans are the result of purposeful genetic tampering by the Kree where as mutants are the result of an X-Factor gene...but still.
However, the quandary is that both mutants and inhumans seem to be born with an altered set of genes, that gives them their powers.

After all this is the beginning of volume six for the Inhumans title and anything cancelled or tried five times without any major success to date probably won’t last very long in today’s comics market.

As I recall, the last we saw of the Inhumans was in that Pacheco/Larroca miniseries where the entire race departed for the stars; only the Royal Family returned to Earth in Fantastic Four.
San is a teenage Inhuman who's confident of following in the family tradition and becoming a warrior.
It's a nice little character piece, using the Inhumans' set up as a metaphor for all the standard themes of identity and adolescence that McKeever tends to be keen on.

It mattered not that he was of the Royal Family - he carried a virus inside him and the Inhumans, being extremely susceptible to the diseases of man, had to remove him from their midst.
The fourth prisoner was not Inhuman, but rather a human explorer that had somehow found himself to be walking the halls of the Royal Castle.

 Ian Watson - How Guilty are the Inhumans?
All of this seems to suggest that the Inhumans are not, as they often appear to be, merely the Addams Family of the Marvel Universe, or another lost tribe, but something very different...
It may even be that the Inhuman organism is, on one level, the culture, not the individual.
Or there may be those things that all Inhumans know, but never speak about (think about the Victorian culture of our own history, and the taboos which it had, such as homosexuality; things still went on, but were never acknowledged).

This race called itself the "Inhumans." (Which seems a strange thing for a race to call itself, but oh well.) Since that time they have been active on Earth to varying degrees, sometimes wandering, homeless, but more often living in their hidden city of Attilan.
The Inhumans are very long-lived, with lifespans much greater than that of ordinary humans.
Of the current group of Inhumans, like the Royal Family seen above, various stories have shown them in action in the years before the Fantastic Four stole their rocket and went into space.

The very "human" shortcomings of the Inhumans are also shown (their very imperfect caste system and the ironic bigotry against those who remain genetically 'normal').
The second being the subplot of the humans who made themselves into Inhumans (like Lockjaw as a bulldog with a fork on his head), it was such a cool idea and it could have been developed much more.
The Inhumans quickly developed a culture and civilization because this strange alien energy gave them both intelliegence and powers that were unqiue to each Inhuman.

Inhumans found the previously-hidden race of the Inhumans in the world spotlight, their new home being the recently-raised island of Atlantis.
Inhumans may not have Hellshock's Jose Villarrubia painting the colors over Lee's linework (although the Lee/Villarrubia team will reunite, along with Jenkins, for this summer's Sentry), but it's still a welcome sight for sore eyes.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Inhumans
What the two had in common was that each member of the community had a super power different from any of the others, thus appealing to superhero fans, who tend to think of such characters more in terms of their extraordinary abilities than more subtle features of their personas.
Another aspect of The Inhumans which appealed to that audience was that each wore the same distinctive costume day after day, making them look more like a full-time superhero team than a culture full of people with rounded lives.
The Inhumans came to be about 25,000 years ago, when The Kree (the alien species to which Marvel's first Captain Marvel belonged) started doing genetic experiments on Earth people.

Despite his guilt and silent protests, Black Bolt was obligated to accept the mantle of leadership of the lnhumans at the age of twenty.
He is stronger than the average Inhuman due to the particular way in which the mutagenic Terrigen Mist affected his genetic and physical structure.
Like all Inhumans, Black Bolt is physically superior to normal human beings due to the generations of eugenics.

Inhumans was the project he offered, I thought kewl, I'm not really known for Superheroes, or drawing male characters, but what the hell, that why I got into comics.
The challenge is when you're drawing Inhuman characters living on the moon with a teleporting dog and a royal family which is really dysfunctional, you pretty much have to like drawing a lot of different things.

Maximus and his cronies began loading the Inhumans onto ships to be taken to Hala, while Falzon again attempted to reach his son.
Triton goaded the Kree into chasing him into the Inhumans' Corridor of Memories, and into firing at him when he was in front of the Mirror of Eternity (yes, really).

The FF and their supporting cast (most especially Johnny and Wyatt, when they are traveling with Lockjaw) treat Lockjaw as a dog, but the Inhumans do not refer to him as a dog, and always speak to him as they speak to each other.
Lockjaw should not be refered to as a "former" inhuman, any more than should Triton, or Gorgon,or that Centaur guy, each of whom were transformed by the Terragin mists into something very different from human.
In fact, the whole point is that the Inhumans are not "human", in much the same way that we are not Cromagnon.

His genial attempts to assimilate into the culture are great for humor value, but they also make Alaris quite charming, and it's easy to relate his love of this new culture to the pleasant shock of the new that comes from many students who go off to college for the first time.
Nahrees, the haughty and distrustful Inhuman who best epitomizes what spoiled royalty can be like, comes across as a character whose arc could take her in a couple very different directions.
She seems more frightened than anything, covering it with anger, and so I suspect that she will eventually turn against her former lover's attempts to turn their mission into one of espionage and hatred rather than the outreach that was intended.
