History Characters / MCUInhumans

* CompositeCharacter: Inhumans in the source materials were different from the mutants of ''Franchise/XMen''. Their roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, seemed to loosely fill in for said mutants, who Marvel Studios couldn't use in their movies until Disney bought Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, who owned the film rights.

* CompositeCharacter: Although he's since been revealed as a CanonImmigrant, he has aspects of two Inhumans from the comics -- the eyeless nature of The Reader (whose eyes were actually cut out due to his power level), and the power-set of Lockjaw (teleportation and force fields). His TeleportSpam powers also liken him to [[Franchise/XMen Nightcrawler]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: His wife Medusa has long, prehensile red hair.

* AlienPrincess Crystal was declared a Princess under Attilan law and customs After the marriage of her sister, Medusa to King Black Bolt of the Inhumans of Attilan. As a Princess, Crystal enjoyed casually walking her gigantic dog Lockjaw through the city.

* AdaptationalWimp: The comic version of Black Bolt has flight, SuperStrength (he can kick around somebody like [[Franchise/FantasticFour Ben Grimm]] with ease), is NighInvulnerable and has energy projection powers. This version has none of those things.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She prefers to go barefoot to maintain a greater connection to the surrounding plant life. Though it's somewhat subverted in practice: Her actress is barefoot for a few close-ups, [[SpecialEffectsFailure but otherwise wears two pairs of Vibrams - camouflage-painted and skin-tone painted - to simply give the (conspicuous) illusion she's barefoot.]]

* DarkChick: Demonstrates no powers, combat prowess, or other common supervillain traits, but her ability to get what she needs with soft words and a sweet smile makes her one of The Clairvoyant's most effective underlings. This changes when her Inhuman transformation makes her less attractive, but more physically dangerous.

* EvilMakesYouUgly: The manipulative DarkChick transforms into a human porcupine, while her foil didn't get so much as a blemish.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: With the exception of [[BroughtDownToNormal Maximus]], they are some of the most powerful Inhumans seen in the [=MCU=].

* {{Politically Incorrect Hero}}es: With the exception of [[AntiVillain Maximus]], all of them are complicit in Attilan's oppressive FantasticCasteSystem, where those with weak or nonexistent powers are sent into the mines.

* FairySexy: She's an attractive teenager with butterfly wings and wears a BareYourMidriff outfit.

* PrecisionFStrike: "WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BECOME!?"

* TheChick: She is not only the Royal Family's second female member after Medusa, but also the youngest and most naïve member, placing her firmly in this role within their FiveManBand.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: She really likes the idea of super-humans and really, ''really'' wants to be one. As soon as Garrett "opens his eyes", her question is "What will I become?" She comes to regret it when "what she becomes" is a spiny precog, though she eventually learns to accept it.

* AbortedArc: Inhumans were initially slated to play a big role that connected the MCU movies and TV shows as replacements for the mutants. But after the cancellation of the ''Inhumans'' movie (and later [[Series/{{Inhumans}} TV show]]) as well as the separation of Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment, any possible plan for the Inhumans in the MCU has been dropped and even in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' they stopped being relevant after Season 5 with the exception of Quake and Yo-Yo. This ended up being finally averted with the release of ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', which featured a variant of Black Bolt, one of the most prominent Inhumans, finally tying them in with the main MCU.

* AlternateSelf: Has [[Characters/MCUEarth838 one]] on [[Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness Earth-838]] who's part of the Illuminati SuperTeam and is also played by Creator/AnsonMount.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: He is able to teleport individuals to Earth.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Lockjaw has teleportation powers, though using them too many times in quick succession and over greater distances (like going from the Moon to Earth and back multiple times) wears him out and causes him to get inaccurate with the locations he teleports to (which is how the Royal Family members end up separated from each other when fleeing from Maximus's initial coup).

* KnifeNut: He has the ability to summon a knife out of thin air.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: His superpower.

* [[Characters/MCURussianGovernmentMilitary Androvich]]
