Long ago in the pages of Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four title
a character was introduced as part of the Frightful Four. She was Medusa who had living hair that moved
and obeyed her every command. As the
Fantastic Four progressed it was discovered that Medusa was the member of the
long-hidden race of super-humans known only as the Inhumans.
The FF would encounter the inhumans and after a while would
learn of their strange origin.
Victims of interstellar alien gene manipulation, the
Inhumans had grown to include thousands of individuals each possessing special
powers. Later it was discovered that the
Inhumans were born as ordinary humans but at the time of their maturity they
were given the choice to be enveloped by the Terrigen Mists that would
transform them from mere mortals to super-powered beings. Sometimes the results were good-sometimes
bad.
In the classic Inhumans mini-series Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee
reintroduced the Inhumans to modern comic book readers. Along with slight adjustments to their
costumes and appearances the story delved deeply into the society of the
Inhumans, their distrust of humans and their inevitable clash with each other.
As Black Bolt, the silent leader of the Inhumans, attempted
to lead his people new threats arrive from both inside and outside the Inhumans
sanctuary, Attilan.
Can the Inhumans survive?
Shout! Factory presents its latest Marvel Knight animated adaptation in
