Inhumans Appreciation 2022

[Ravin' Ray]

Yes, Crystal is quite powerful, even if not shown often. Besides the 4 elements, Crytal can combine them in various ways, can fly using her powers and can even control the weather and call down lightning bolts.

Crystal combines the powers of Storm and Magma (as well as Marrina's waterspout ability) as an all-around elemental. So in a head-to-head she has extra elements at her command the others don't.

There is also the low level control atomic level meaning if someone's control isn't that low she can counter them.

Thanks for all the additional info on Crystal everyone. I can honk I’m missing some key stories from hat I need to get a hold of. I’ve always seen potential but I haven’t seen it in action with her.

This is true.

Yes, Good point!

Ah, glad to help.

<sigh> I am always waiting to get a really good story with Crystal, with amazing artwork, Crystal's long hair and a great usage of her many powers.

If and when Marvel remembers that Medusa pledged to Red Raven to help the Bird People from their Terrigen Mist mutations, Crystal is the best person to send. Her compassion for the Kree wounded in War of Kings that lead her to be dubbed "The People's Princess" plus her knack for diplomacy gives her the edge in dealing with their affliction. Together with healers like Panacea and Kalikya, plus her own ability to purify the air, Crystal can make enormous strides I believe.

Yes, I have always liked Red Raven and the Bird People as being Inhumans and this would indeed be a great thing to see. Crystal would be the perfect Ambassador/help to send to them.

Hello,

I rather think some Inhumans are more powerful than some mutants.
Crystal must certainly be stronger overall, possibly specifically, than Storm.
Certain other Inhumans are this high powered too and obviously.
It's like they have their own system of Omega, Alpha etc.
Has anyone ever 'graded' Inhumans in such a way?

Also can you point me towards stories you mention:
Medusa pledging to help Bird People, what were the effects (and why) of Terrigen.
What is definitive (as it can be) about Inhumans who do not / do, receive Terrigeneis altering.
Is Karnak an average example of unexposed Inhumans?
I wonder if there are stories about other 'pockets' of Inhumans/stablized Inhumans who now have been exposed to Terrigen agents. This would be interesting.

Medusa pledging to help Bird People, what were the effects (and why) of Terrigen.

A background on the genetics of the Bird People: as a subrace of Inhumans that evolved feathered wings, their stabilized genes obviated the need for Terrigenesis. So generations later when Black Bolt's Terrigen cloud reached their floating island home of the Aerie, they either were horribly mutated into monstrous forms or died. Red Raven, the current ruler who is a human with artificial wings, vowed revenge and attacked New Attilan. It's all in Inhumans Special #1, Amazing Spider-Man Special #1, and All-New Captain America Special #1 (Sam Wilson).

Ya know I quite like the Royal Family. Never read much Inhuman stories but I think they are all swell for the most part from what I know. Black Bolt is my favorite but I can appreciate how everyone has their own thing going on, I hear the additions to Karnack during his little mini several years ago was pretty good.

Except Gorgon, never liked him from the moment I saw him. Its because he's very plain, he's too much of a generic big guy, he's not particularly interesting at least visually unlike the rest of the Royal Family.

Dude needs some kind of overhaul, maybe make him more monstrous like a minotaur. That could make him cooler.

That did happen for a bit between Silent War and Thanos imperative. Seemingly just forgotten when Hickman brought them into his F4 run, but even before that artist loosening up on the details

[Chocomancer]

Also Earth X/9997, more to a ram than a satyr?


I think I wouldn't mind a character overhaul, I'm probably the only one who still likes him lol

if anything I can feel in my bones that they will change his gender in MCU

They attempted to do this in the show. He was just angrier and was more feral, but he didn't change physically. It wasn't very good.

Make it so, Marvel!
