24A hidden race of [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividuals superhumans]]. The alien race known as the Kree genetically altered the denizens of many planets in an attempt to create weapons for their war, catalyzed by the Terrigen Mists. Earth was the only planet on which this worked. The experiment was abandoned, but the descendants of these humans continued to use the Mists to unlock their powers.

28[[folder:In General]]
29* 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.
30* AbusivePrecursors: The Kree attempted Terrigenesis on numerous planets, which killed millions. Some Kree regret their actions long after the fact, while the more extreme Kree would try to restart the program if they ever found out it actually produced some results.
31* BlessedWithSuck: Physical transformations tend to come hand in hand with the powers granted by the Mists, such as losing your eyes or having thorns painfully sticking out all over your body. Though only Gordon and Raina are shown to have transformed as such, it's indicated to be fairly common.
32* CanonDiscontinuity: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]], When Marvel Studios was separated from Marvel Comics, the movies no longer had to connect or acknowledge the developments of the TV shows in any way if they didn't want to. The consequences of this being the movies never acknowledging the existence of the Inhumans or the Kree's experimentation on humans, even when the Kree participate in the story. 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.
33* TheChosenMany: Individuals are selected to go through Terrigenesis, which grants them unique powers.
34* CompositeCharacter: Inhumans in the source materials were different from the mutants of ''ComicBook/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.
35* EarlyBirdCameo: Their first appearance -- in the second season of ''Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' -- came in 2014, a whole four years before their movie was slated to release. Then it was taken even further when ''Inhumans'' got delayed yet again to make room for ''Spider-Man: Homecoming''.
36* FantasticRacism:
37** Many view Inhumans as extremely dangerous weapons instead of misunderstood people, and the Kree explicitly express regret for creating them.
38** [[DeconstructedTrope It goes both ways.]] The "Afterlife" Inhumans have a tendency to dislike normal humans, partly because they know they'll never be accepted by regular society and partly because of a belief that their powers make them superior. This is in part due to [[FreudianExcuse their leader being unlucky enough to be used as a HYDRA lab rat, and is deeply paranoid that others would have to go through the same experience]].
39** The Attilan Inhumans also look down on normal humans, believing themselves to be superior.
40* GoalInLife: According to Lincoln, Lai Xi teaches that an Inhuman's powers are not random, but instead serve some sort of evolutionary need, and through it, every Inhuman has a purpose. Finding what that purpose is can admittedly take years, but seeking it is a goal worth striving for.
41* HiddenElfVillage: Lai Xi's location is known only to Gordon, and the only way to and from is with his teleportation. Despite the name and architecture, Lincoln isn't even convinced it's in China. In "Scars", S.H.I.E.L.D. manages to copy the device HYDRA was using to trace his teleportation energy, allowing them to find the city.
42* HumansAreSpecial: The only planet where the Terrigenesis process actually worked? Earth.
43* IJustWantToBeNormal: Jiaying mentions that some of those chosen to go through Terrigenesis decide not to, presumably for this reason.
44* IJustWantToBeSpecial: A typical mindset for residents of Lai Xi, with people waiting literally for years to get a chance to go through Terrigenesis.
45* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The Inhumans of Earth are completely oblivious to the Inhumans living on the moon.
46* LeaveMeAlone: The Inhumans are well aware that they'll be met with fear by those who are not like them. They don't want to make trouble, they just want to continue their peaceful lives in Lai Xi. So when S.H.I.E.L.D. finds it -- and makes it very clear that they want the Inhumans added to their index... bad things start to happen.
47* PainfulTransformation: Even outside of physical changes like Raina's, terrigenesis is still consistently portrayed as physically traumatizing. Everyone who goes through it can feel the changes to their bodies afterwards, all of them describe it as being unpleasant and discomforting. Some like Lincoln are assigned a position of helping to counsel people in coping with their changes outside of learning to control their powers.
48* SuperEmpowering: Inhumans gain their powers through Terrigen Mist.
49* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of the [[ComicBook/XMen Mutants]]. Prior to Disney buying 20th Century Fox, Marvel didn't have the film rights to Mutants as a concept, because the concept is considered a part of the X-Men mythos, which Fox owned the rights to. However, the idea of people unknowingly born with the capacity to develop superpowers later in life, along with the various explorations of FantasticRacism it provokes, has always been pretty central to the Marvel Comics universe(s). Although the comparison does fall apart when examined more closely [[note]]Inhumans are a deliberately engineered reclusive society of beings who ''choose'' to trigger their powers and where those who gain powers are social elites, whilst Mutants arise completely at random from the general human populace and are socially shunned, making them an unwanted and outcast minority[[/note]], the basic concept of "divergent human subspecies with super powers" is close enough that Inhumans could be be made to plug that gap in the MCU. With the spread of the Terrigen worldwide thus anyone can become Inhuman, the loss of Lai Xi, the formation of the Secret Warriors and the existence of a "cure", MCU's Inhumans and the comics Mutants are becoming more and more indistinguishable from one another.
50* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The reason why the Kree never followed through with their success in creating the Inhumans was that Hive, the Inhuman they created to lead the Inhuman army, instead led a revolt against the Kree on Earth.
51* {{Ultraterrestrials}}: Almost all of the Inhumans are born on Earth, but only exist because of Kree influence. Hive is the one exception.
52* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: A serious risk if they aren't properly guided after their transformation. Prior to being exposed to the Mists, candidates are screened for potential psychological issues that would be magnified if the individual gained superpowers. In an incident prior to the formation of the Avengers, an Inhuman stole a batch of Terrigen crystals to transform her daughter, after she was rejected because Jiaying sensed a darkness within her. As a result, her daughter became an EmotionEater who could bend others to her will through touch, and had an insatiable desire to feed on the pain of others. May ended up killing her when she couldn't be talked down.

67A charismatic young woman who is far more dangerous than she first appears. While first associated with Project Centipede and HYDRA, she later reveals ties to Skye's father and the Inhumans
68----
69* AffablyEvil: She always speaks in a friendly and polite tone of voice too everyone, including her allies and when she's manipulating someone.
70* AffectionateNickname: Garrett calls her "Flowers."
71* AlasPoorVillain: For all she's done up to that point, you can't help but feel sorry for her when Jiaying murders her after she threatens her.
72* AmbiguouslyBrown: While her appearance and accent suggest African-American, she has spent a great deal of time in Asia, and the actress is Irish and Ethiopian.
73* AmbiguouslyHuman: In the first season, she's obsessed with gaining powers of her own, believing she has them but needs to unlock them somehow. The second season reveals she's an Inhuman, and she undergoes Terrigenesis in the mid-season finale.
74* BaldOfEvil: Her transformation into a horrible monster causes her to lose all her hair.
75* BeautyToBeast: Her fate as a result of Terrigenesis.
76* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She exposed herself to the Terrigen Mists, believing she had a great power hidden within her. She was right, but she paid for it dearly in her physical transformation.
77* BemoaningTheNewBody: She finds her Terrigenesis-altered form, resembling a spiky LizardFolk creature, to be both ugly and ''painful''.
78* BigBadWannabe: Raina may be a ManipulativeBastard who thinks [[IJustWantToBeSpecial she's meant for something great]], but ultimately she's just an expendable pawn in the schemes of HYDRA and Mr. Hyde. This is even reflected by what happens to her when she undergoes terrigenesis. Raina was expecting to be a beautiful and powerful angel blessed with amazing powers, but instead, she was turned into a gnarled, spikey, and pathetic monster who is in perpetual agony, and gets painful prophetic powers that she can't even get on command.
79* BitchInSheepsClothing: She claims to want to help Chan improve his powers, even giving him the alias "Scorch," but is only leading him on so they can harvest his blood platelets to further the Centipede project. She also leaves Debbie at Chan's mercy during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge, even mocking Debbie as the elevator closes on her.
80* BodyHorror: Her Inhuman form sprouts thorns everywhere, leaving her in constant pain. From her description of her insides feeling "like gravel", it's possible she has quills ''on the inside''. Her transformation is drastic even by Inhuman standards.
81* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Near the end of episode 17, Garrett lets it slip that she was brainwashed by the same machine used to plumb Coulson's memories. [[AbortedArc This is never brought up again before her death.]]
82* BrokenPedestal: She's quite disappointed to learn the truth about the Clairvoyant, though it doesn't take long for her to get back on board with him. It's further broken when she learns that Garrett doesn't share her own goals in fostering the talents of gifted people. However, in season two she admits she regained some respect after he was enlightened after being injected with the formula and telling her what she wanted to know.
83* CanonImmigrant: While she initially had no comicbook counterpart, ''Inhuman Annual'' #1, which was published long after Raina's appearance on the show, ''did'' show someone who looked like her wearing a flower dress receiving a message that only Inhumans could hear.
84* TheCassandra: All her dreams appear to come true, but due to her history of deceit and trickery nobody believes her.
85* CassandraTruth: All that manipulating catches up to her near the end of season 2. She tries to warn Gordon that letting Jiaying talk to S.H.I.E.L.D. could possibly lead to catastrophe. Gordon then turns her over to Jiaying thinking that this is simply Raina trying to take control from Jiaying. Turns out that she was right, as Jiaying tries to start a war by killing Gonzales.
86* TheChessmaster: In "Heavy is the Head", she approaches Creel and gives him a piece of rare metal with a tracker device hidden inside, then gives S.H.I.E.L.D. his location, intending to use the fight between them and Creel to snatch the Diviner from HYDRA's hands.
87* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: No matter how much you have helped her or how important you are to her agenda, she is perfectly willing to throw you to the wolves at a moment's notice if she has anything to gain for it.
88* ComboPlatterPowers: Terrigenesis normally only provides a single power to those who undergo it. By contrast, Raina got at least four distinct abilities ([[HealingFactor regeneration]], spiked quills, WolverineClaws, and [[DreamingOfThingsToCome precognitive dreams]]) out of the deal.
89* CryingWolf: Her duplicitous history comes back to bite her at the end of Season 2, when no one will believe her vision that letting Jiaying meet with S.H.I.E.L.D. will lead to war. In fairness, she also doesn't help her case by couching her warnings in a blatant power grab. Eventually the only way to get Skye to believe her is to let herself be killed.
90* DarkMagicalGirl: Season 2 sees her set up as a foil for Skye along these lines. Skye is an Inhuman and daughter of Cal, who finds TrueCompanions and relies on ThePowerOfTrust during missions. Raina is an Inhuman and something of a foster daughter of Cal, but works alone and manipulates others to achieve her objectives while also working for an older villain that she admires. She also seems to ''really'' enjoy working with Skye, such as during "Ye Who Enter Here", which fulfills the aspect of dark magical girls forming tight bonds with their magical girl foils. In the end, she calls herself Skye's "guardian angel" and essentially DIES for her.
91* DeathSeeker: She becomes this after her Terrigenesis transforms her into a "monster" in constant pain. After a couple of failed attempts at SuicideByCop, she realizes what her power is and embraces her new form. She still essentially kills herself, but for a different and more noble reason.
92* DissonantSerenity: S.H.I.E.L.D. is storming your secret human experimentation facility; do you a) leave quickly, b) freak out at your bosses on the phones, c) attack the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, or d) keep sashaying like you're getting paid by the hour? Raina chose D.
93* TheDragon:
94** After The Clairvoyant kills Edison Po for his failure, Raina becomes his replacement.
95** By season two first half, she's this for Cal as his second.
96* DragonWithAnAgenda: Raina works for Raina.
97* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Her power allows her to see the future in dreams, though she is also shown to have a waking vision in "The Dirty Half Dozen".
98* EvenEvilHasStandards:
99** She looks somewhat appalled that Po is resorting to [[ToThePain potentially lethal torture]] to get the truth behind Coulson's resurrection.
100** World domination is "too 1945" for her tastes. This is why she's working for Skye's father instead of HYDRA in season 2.
101** Even though she was the one who put Simmons' cover at risk in order to cut a deal with Coulson, she was legitimately disturbed when she realized he wasn't buying what she was selling and that Simmons would likely be killed as a result.
102* EvilCostumeSwitch: After "The Girl In the Flower Dress" establishes her as one of the bad guys, she stops wearing pretty flowery sundresses and starts wearing darker colors and more metallic or reptilian-looking materials, while still more-or-less maintaining the flower pattern motif.
103* EvilMakesYouUgly: The manipulative villainess transforms into a human porcupine, while her foil didn't get so much as a blemish.
104* EnemyMine: In Season 2, she actively helps S.H.I.E.L.D. stop one of HYDRA's operations, so she can steal the artifact they were after.
105* EvilGenius: After the truth is out about the Clairvoyant, Raina officially steps into this role and the Clairvoyant gives her the resources to continue research on his behalf.
106* FaceDeathWithDignity: She knows she's going to die, and accepts it as what is needed to inspire Skye on her own path.
107* FlowerMotifs: Naturally, given her title as the "girl in the flower dress". Her prison cell seen in "Providence" is likewise full of origami flower ornaments.
108%%%%
109%%%% "Her relationship with Debbie until her own life is threatened." is not context. How is friendly and how is it a rivalry?
110%%%%%* FriendlyRivalry:
111* FromNobodyToNightmare: She was a two-bit con artist in Thailand when Cal found her.
112* GiverOfLameNames: She's the one who came up with Chan's completely unimaginative alias of "Scorch." Judging by Debbie's reaction, this isn't the first time.
113-->'''Debbie:''' Oh, God. You gave him a ''name'', didn't you?
114* {{Greed}}: Cal pegs this as her character flaw. She'll talk people into giving her a little charity, then sees no reason why they shouldn't give more.
115* HealingFactor: She seemingly receives one from undergoing Terrigenesis; getting shot multiple times by Simmons in "Aftershocks" hardly even fazes her. It seems to only work on nonfatal injuries, however, since Jiaying slashing her throat with a knife still works just fine.
116* TheHeavy: While certainly not [[BigBad the leader of Centipede]], she has far more presence in the show's first season than most of the other villains.
117* HeelFaceTurn: By the end of the third act of Season 2, she becomes a good person. [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Too bad this did not last.]]
118* HeroicSacrifice: After her clairvoyance shows her Jiaying's true colors, she arranges to be murdered in front of Skye to show her the truth.
119* HiddenAgendaVillain: In the first season, she vaguely describes her own motivation as wanting to wake up what's hidden inside and has an interest in gifted people, without going into much detail. In the second season, she's revealed to be an Inhuman and undergoes terrigenesis.
120* HowDoIShotWeb: After her physical transformation, Raina and the Inhumans can't figure out what her powers are. Lincoln eventually figures out that her dreams are actually precognitive.
121* IHaveYourWife: Gets Mike to betray Coulson by holding the former's son hostage.
122* IconicOutfit:
123** Wears Chinese flower dresses.
124--->'''Coulson:''' Just tell me one thing. What's with the [[FlowerMotifs flowers?]]\
125'''Raina:''' Who doesn't like flowers?
126** In "Providence", she's seen folding lots of origami flowers out of patterned paper, and the Clairvoyant even went to the trouble of buying her a new dress when he has her broken out of prison.
127* IJustWantToBeNormal: After undergoing Terrigenesis, she is ''immediately'' horrified by the results of her transformation and wants to undo it. She gets over herself once she figures out what her real powers are.
128* 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 in constant pain, though she eventually learns to accept it.
129* {{Irony}}:
130** In Season 1, Raina idolizes John Garrett, a man who claims to have clairvoyant powers but is actually a normal human. In Season 2, she herself gains clairvoyant powers, courtesy of her Inhuman transformation.
131** In season 2, [[CassandraTruth her clairvoyant abilities are mistrusted due to her prior manipulative behavior]], her quest to be special ended in [[KarmicTransformation her becoming a monster]], and she goes to her death in order to protect Skye, who she hated for coming out of the Terrigenesis chamber appearing normal.
132* ItsAllAboutMe: Having been told about her Inhuman heritage by her grandmother as a youth, she is completely convinced that she is destined for greatness, this (combined with her mentorship under Calvin Zabo) being the source of her massive ego. Many have even surmised that the various speeches she gives about "potential" to the superpowered individuals she encounters to manipulate them are all meant to be for herself.
133* KarmaHoudini: She is a double subversion. Despite a brief stint in prison in the middle of the season, she's freed by Garrett in "Providence", and escapes his downfall in "Beginning of the End", appearing in the next season as an agent of Skye's father. Then karma bit her in the ass when she tried to undergo Terrigenesis and ended up as TheSpiny, turning her into a DeathSeeker, and later a victim of CassandraTruth.
134* KarmicTransformation: Calvin believes that her turning into an thorny monster is appropriate, considering how much she loved flowers.
135* KnightOfCerebus: Her debut episode marks the point where the effects of Centipede's machinations really start to kick in.
136* ManipulativeBastard: Very cleverly plays on Chan's desire for exposure and purpose, further feeding his ego with a codename, and relies on [[FalseReassurance double-edged wording]]: the world ''would'' know who he is... as the man Centipede dissected to make their super soldiers work; he ''does'' have a gift--and you ''give'' gifts. She's even able to manipulate Coulson, of all people, into giving up his secrets. She loses her cool when dealing with Cal and Whitehall precisely because they don't give her the opportunity to play her games.
137* MonsterFangirl:
138** She is intrigued by any and all people with powers, really -- her reaction to Chan Ho Yin's pyrokinesis certainly wasn't an act.
139** She's noticeably intrigued by the Clairvoyant, and, after she gets the chance to talk with him for the first time on the phone, she says her "heart's still pounding" minutes later. It's a BrokenPedestal thing when she meets him in person. Though she starts reining in her displeasure when Garrett puts her in charge of HYDRA's scientific operations and she realizes just how resourceful and ''dangerous'' Garrett is, clairvoyance or no. After he's "enlightened" she has respect for him by the next season, defending him post-mortem to Coulson, who she believes was enlightened as well.
140** She was also a fan of Creel until he robbed her.
141* NonActionGuy: Has not been shown to be combat-capable since she was easily punched out by pre-agent-training Skye. Even after Terrigenesis she's not one for combat.
142* ObiWanMoment: Willingly went to her death without fear, knowing that it was necessary for Skye to stop Jiaying.
143* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She keeps her cool when Mike Peterson threatens her life in Season 1. The fact that she is genuinely afraid of Whitehall and Skye's father shows just how terrifying she considers those two to be.
144* PainfulTransformation: She comments that her thorns put her in constant pain after her Terrigenesis, and states that her insides "feel like gravel". Ouch.
145* PersonWithTheClothing: The eponymous "girl in the flower dress" from her introductory episode. Many characters identify her by said dress. When asked about her choice in wardrobe, she simply asks, "Who doesn't like flowers?"
146* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Just when she's about to do something right for once, she does so, all right--Jiaying murders her in front of Skye, who ends up realizing what her mother had become. Just as she had predicted!
147* RequiredSecondaryPowers: {{Averted}}. After being exposed to the Terrigen crystal in the Diviner, her skin grows thorns which are just as painful to her as anybody else.
148* TheResenter: She's initially furious that terrigenesis gave Skye powers without changing her outward appearance, while she got turned into a spiny freak.
149* RunningGagged: Loses the flower dress theme after Season 2's mid-season finale, switching to dark cloaks.
150* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "Beginning of the End", between Team Coulson's attack on the Cybertek facilities and Garrett going off the deep end, she packs up her research and leaves.
151* {{Seers}}: In "The Dirty Half Dozen", she experiences a vision while awake.
152* SoftSpokenSadist: Leaves Chan and Debbie to their respective fates at the other's hands without so much as raising her voice while giving her blithe one-liners.
153* TheSpiny: After her mutation, Raina grows spines on her face and to her disgust, on her insides.
154* TheStarscream: Once she realizes what her powers are, she snaps out of her depression and immediately begins scheming to take control of Lai Xi from Jiaying.
155* StreetUrchin: She was homeless and still a child when Cal found her, though that didn't stop her from manipulating everyone around her to survive.
156* ThanatosGambit: She foresaw that the only way for Jiaying to be stopped was if Skye saw what her mother really was. In order for that to happen, she allowed Jiaying to murder her without the latter realizing that Skye saw the whole thing -- until it was too late.
157* TragicVillain: Her grandmother died when she was young, leaving her an orphan, forced to scrounge for food and clothes in the streets of Thailand. She was taken in by Cal, who manipulated her through her desire to be something special. As she tried to find others who shared her beliefs, all she got was being a grunt for self-serving egomaniacs. And when she finally does unlock her "gift", she turns into a monster who is in constant pain. It turns out her gift is to see the future, but because she's spent two seasons as a scheming SmugSnake, absolutely no one trusts her.
158* {{Transhuman}}: After she undergoes Terrigenesis.
159* UnwittingPawn: She's appalled upon learning that Centipede Group that she worked for is a branch of HYDRA.
160* WhatHaveIBecome: Even she's horrified at what the Terrigen Mists made her, though she learns to cope.
161* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
162** She does this to Debbie when she leaves her to deal with Chan. Later, she appears to be the victim of it herself after she was captured and the Clairvoyant moved on to Ian Quinn. Ultimately subverted as of "Providence"; she's broken out of prison along with Quinn, and he clearly still appreciates her skills.
163** She's on the receiving end after turning into an Inhuman. Not that Cal would have been able to help her anyway, but he's still very cold about casting her aside, even telling her to kill herself if she can't live with it. [[RelativeButton That she had just openly insulted his daughter to his face out of pure jealousy probably didn't help her case, though.]]

177A young Chinese woman who was captured by HYDRA during World War II.
178----
179* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Daisy's mother was ([[RetCanon at the time of season two's airing]]) a prostitute named Kim Johnson.
180* AdaptationalVillainy: Neither Kim Johnson or Jiaying's later-introduced [[CanonImmigrant comics counterpart]] committed the same kinds of atrocities Jiaying attempts on the show.
181* AllLovingHero: She's a zigzag on this trope. She has endless compassion and care for Inhumans regardless of their deformity or what misdeeds they may have done, but she has a rocky relationship with her husband and killed Gonzales in cold blood during a diplomatic meeting out of a mixture of hatred towards him and fear for her people. In the end, not even her daughter is safe. Cal insists that she used to be a genuine example before Whitehall tortured her and flashbacks support this. [[spoiler:When she is later met in 1983 before Whitehall got to her, Cal is proven plainly correct, and she is horrified to learn that Daisy's abusive mother was her own future self.]]
182* AlasPoorVillain: It's hard not to feel sorry for her when Cal kills her to protect Daisy, considering how broken her mind became from Whitehall's torture.
183* ApologeticAttacker: Whenever she uses her power to drain people's life force, she apologizes. Cal mentions that in the past she was truly distraught that people would sacrifice themselves to prolong her life, but after what happened with Whitehall [[FauxAffablyEvil she slowly stopped meaning it,]] especially against humans who she actively hunted for their life force.
184* AxCrazy: A cold, clear version after her resurrection. She hides it through a FauxAffablyEvil act, but you can tell through the MoralEventHorizon she crosses that her mind has become warped and twisted from anything reasonable and sane by sheer hate.
185* AscendedExtra: Her comics counterpart Kim Johnson was a random prostitute who was unwittingly impregnated by the supervillain Mr. Hyde, and immediately gave the baby up for adoption. Here, she's the leader of the Inhumans of Afterlife.
186* BadPowersGoodPeople: In the past, though not the present, where she's become a case of BadPowersBadPeople. She has always had the power to prolong her life by sucking others dry, but before her StartOfDarkness she truly was a compassionate guardian of others who hated using it and hated even more that people were willing to let her use it in on them to let her work continue. Nowadays, her use of it only shows that deep down she's now a hateful sociopath who would easily sacrifice others to advance her own ideals.
187* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Seriously, for literally being ''vivisected'', the one scar on her face is quite the trade-off.
188* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: You can thank Daniel Whitehall for her starting a war against S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of "Scars". Cal says her good heart was ripped out of her that day.
189* BerserkButton: She ''snaps'' when Gonzales tries to compare his wounded leg to her being tortured by Whitehall. Although it is ambiguous, the real button Gonzales may have pushed could be asking for personal information on Inhumans to put on the index.
190* BigBad: She becomes the ultimate villain of Season 2 when it is indirectly revealed that she had Cal commit the crimes that he did. She takes the role of direct antagonist after she starts a war with S.H.I.E.L.D. by murdering Gonzales.
191* BigBadDuumvirate: She's the greatest threat of the second season, while her husband Cal is the most consistent threat. She's clearly the dominant one in their partnership, and most of Cal's actions are taken with the intent to appease her, but they still act as the overall joint main antagonists once Whitehall dies.
192* BigBadSlippage: Subverted. She appears to start off as the benign leader of the Inhumans in the second half of Season 2 only to slip into a villain for the season finale by murdering Gonzales. But then it turns out that she's TheManBehindTheMan to Cal, making her the BigBad of Season 2 the whole time.
193* BitchInSheepsClothing: She initially appears to be Afterlife's ReasonableAuthorityFigure and gives Daisy a saner and less dangerous parent than Cal. However, "Scars" proves she's a vengeful sociopath and whilst Cal may be violent and unpredictable, Jiaying is willing to ''murder'' her own daughter.
194* CameBackWrong: When Cal stitched her back to life her caring heart didn't make the return trip.
195* CanonImmigrant: A version of Jiaying was introduced into the comics in November 2015, several months after her debut on the show.
196* CompositeCharacter: A somewhat retroactive example. It has long been known that Quake's mother in the comics was a prostitute frequented by Calvin Zabo and was a distant Inhuman descendant, and then an Inhuman woman named Jiaying was introduced in the comics based on this character, who knew Daisy Johnson as a young child.
197* {{Expy}}: With the X-Men off limits at the time of her debut, she has shades of several characters from that franchise. Her backstory of suffering under Nazis and leading a war of (perceived) self-defense against non-powered humans calls to mind ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, while her role as a leader and mentor within the Inhuman society and her pre-vivisection personality resemble those of ComicBook/ProfessorX. Her powers echo those of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, who can regenerate from any wound as long as he's not beheaded (though they are powered through a VampiricDraining TouchOfDeath, similar to Selene).
198* FauxAffablyEvil: She apparently loves to talk smooth with her enemies, only to murder them in cold blood and with satisfaction moments later.
199* FinalBoss: After the trouble with Arc Villains Whitehall and Gonzales, she emerges as the final villain of season 2 after she murders Gonzales to start a war with S.H.I.E.L.D.
200* FreudianExcuse: Whitehall hounded her throughout her life which culminated with him vivisecting her for her rejuvenating powers, and although Cal brought her back to life, the experience warped her mind so that she couldn't tell right from wrong anymore.
201* HealingFactor: The source of her LongLived ability is her slow rate of aging. After Whitehall vivisected her, her husband revived her by piecing her back together. It is later revealed that her ability is fueled by VampiricDraining. [[spoiler:She can't seem to recover from spinal injuries, however. Both her permanent deaths came about this way, and on the second instance Kora even tried to offer herself as a sacrifice to heal her, but it didn't work.]]
202* HumanResources: Whitehall vivisected her and stole what was keeping her immortal to restore his youth.
203* ItsAllAboutMe: Skye calls her out on her plan that was more about [[DisproportionateRetribution venting her anger on humanity for what Whitehall did to her than about helping her people. Her reaction to that statement is to (try to) kill her daughter.]]
204* {{Irony}}: The actions she took to save her fellow Inhumans in the Season 2 finale ended up endangering them come Season 3.
205** Despite wanting Inhumans to hide and be left alone, her actions exposed Inhumans to the world at large and forced the governments to crack down on them.
206** After decades as a mentor for new Inhumans and ensuring only those who could handle the change underwent Terrigenesis, she unwittingly cause the greatest outbreak of new, untrained and potentially unstable Inhumans without any support network.
207** In her paranoia, she planted a Terrigenesis crystal in her Afterlife ledger, certain only humans are a threat to them. In doing so, she created [[HunterOfHisOwnKind Lash]], who used that information to kill most of Lincoln's Inhuman friends.
208* TheLeader: She made the rules of Lai Xi and is responsible for approving which Inhuman can go through the mists. In the words of Lincoln, her role is "to be in charge".
209* LifeDrinker: This turns out to be the secret of her immortality and healing ability. At first she hated using it, but after suffering at Whitehall's hands she ''relished'' it.
210* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Thanks to her slow rate of aging, she was alive long enough to shepherd many generations of Inhumans through their mutation.
211* TheLostLenore: For Cal, who spent the last several decades trying to avenge her. Unlike most examples, she's actually alive, though they've split some time ago.
212* MamaBear: Claims that at least part of her vendetta against S.H.I.E.L.D. is to protect Skye, but her love is gradually proven to be surface-deep, as Jiaying eventually tries to kill Skye for getting in her way. [[spoiler:Her past self, on the other hand, plays this completely straight, attacking Nathaniel Malick to protect Daisy mere moments after learning the latter is her KidFromTheFuture. Shame it got her killed, though.]]
213* TheManBehindTheMan: To Cal. Though it was built up that Cal was the one who wanted revenge, he was actually committing his crimes for Jiaying.
214* ManipulativeBitch: She murders Gonzales and then ''shoots herself'' to trick both S.H.I.E.L.D. and her Inhumans into waging war on one another via a WoundedGazelleGambit. Classy.
215* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Calvin. She's led the Inhumans for generations, he's just an ordinary human.
216* MeaningfulName: Jiaying sounds similar to "jiangshi," Chinese vampires which are reanimated corpses that drain life force to sustain themselves. Jiaying is Chinese, was 'killed' by Whitehall but came back from the dead due to her powers and Cal's intervention, and her power is draining life force to sustain herself.
217* TheMentor: She was a source of guidance and support for newly mutated Inhumans, though Lincoln says he's never seen her personally take up the mentorship role, suggesting she stopped after losing Skye.
218* MentorOccupationalHazard: Played with depending on the student.
219** Played straight with Gordon, who was taught by her and then had to step into her shoes after Whitehall vivisected her.
220** Inverted with Skye. Instead of the mentor's death taking place after the tutoring as a "growing up" device, her disappearance before Skye got to know her underscores how lost and confused the student is without their teacher.
221* MyGreatestFailure: She has two: giving up looking for Skye and being unable to stop a rogue Inhuman who was driven mad by terrigenesis and was killed by May.
222* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:How Nathaniel kills her past self in 1983.]]
223* NotQuiteDead: Despite being vivisected by Whitehall and buried by Cal, she later shows up alive (albeit with a few scars) when Skye is brought to Afterlife. Cal stitched her up and she drained the life out of a whole village to regenerate her organs..
224* ObliviouslyEvil: Skye says it to her face that she can't tell right from wrong. In her mind she ''is'' doing the right thing by taking out S.H.I.E.L.D. before they can harm the Inhumans.
225* OffingTheOffspring: She's in the middle of trying to kill her own daughter when Cal stops her for good.
226* OlderThanTheyLook:
227** Whitehall first met her late into WWII, forcing her to touch the Diviner. She survived it, and when they're reunited in the 80's, he sees that she hasn't aged since. She notes in one flashback that she's not actually immortal, and was killed just a few years later. Or not.
228** Cal mentions that an elder of Afterlife would sacrifice themselves to prolong her life "every few decades," which implies that she's been around since before WWII.
229* ProperlyParanoid: The general population's scared reaction to the emerging Inhumans in Season 3 results in the formation of a government backed containment authorized to use deadly force is more or less what she ''thought'' S.H.I.E.L.D. would do to the Inhumans under her care.
230* RaceLift: Jiaying is Chinese, while her comics counterpart [[RetCanon at the time]], Kim Johnson, was white.
231* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Her real age is unknown, but she survived long enough to mentor numerous generations of Inhumans around the world.
232* SanitySlippage: After coming back to life from Whitehall's vivisection, she had her husband kill an entire village while looking for Skye and to feed her bloodlust. However she did come to her senses and mostly kept her dark side in check. But when S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered Lai Xi, and asked for each Inhuman to be added to the Index she ''lost'' it completely.
233* ScarsAreForever: She has prominent scars on her face from her torture and vivisection by Whitehall.
234* SecretKeeper: She knew about Hive, but made sure that nobody else in Afterlife knew, lest they get any ideas about bringing him back.
235* SickeningCrunch: Cal killed her by [[SuperStrength bear-hugging her so hard]] her spine audibly snapped.
236* StartOfDarkness: Even more so than her husband, she was a wonderful person in her youth -- a deeply compassionate woman who tirelessly sought out others to help. Now, even more so than her husband, what happened with Whitehall changed her into a murderous monster, willing to kill truckloads of innocent humans in order to merely ''find'' more of her own people.
237* TouchOfDeath: The source of her regenerative powers. She used to hate doing it, but after she CameBackWrong she enjoyed it.
238* TragicVillain: Like her husband, albeit for different reasons. She was a kind and sweet woman ''until'' Whitehall vivisected her. After Cal stitched back her up, she was never the same. She became unsympathetic to all life -- save Inhuman life. Her immortality was fueled by draining the life out of other people. Before Whitehall, doing so would cause her to break down in tears. After Whitehall, draining people didn't cause her to bat an eye. The village of people that Cal killed after her death were sacrificed to fuel her regeneration. She spends decades believing that her daughter is dead only to find her again and then have to ''fight'' her a few days later. The cause of this is a deep-seated and well justified fear that the rest of her people will also be dissected.
239* TheUnfettered: There's nothing she won't do to ensure the Inhumans' safety -- even killing a S.H.I.E.L.D agent to start a war, or, if need be, her daughter or husband
240* UngratefulBitch: Zigzagged. Cal stitched her back up and then let her healing powers do the rest to bring her back to life. Presumably she was grateful at that time because they started searching for Skye together, but eventually she became more distant from him -- especially when their pursuit became more brutal. Skye (and Cal himself) assume this is because she couldn't stand how monstrous he became, but when Coulson posits that most of their most horrible actions were probably ''her'' idea and she began using him as she would a tool, Cal realizes that in truth her indifference of humanity now included him, and no matter what monstrous things he did on her behalf he would never be good enough because he wasn't an Inhuman.
241* UsedToBeASweetKid: Cal said it best: "She had a good heart Phil, she did. It was just torn out".
242* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She kept a ledger that recorded Inhuman genealogy that was rigged with Terrigen dust should anyone but her open it. Said dust is what transforms Dr. Garner into Lash. Not to mention, her war to protect the Inhumans ended with their sanctuary, Afterlife, being thoroughly destroyed. (As Skye put it in Season 3, "Afterlife is a pile of ashes.")
243* VampiricDraining: How her powers work, draining the life from someone else to heal her wounds and keep her young.
244* VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes one that starts slowly when S.H.I.E.L.D. finally learns of their existence. Remembering what HYDRA did to her, she undertakes more and more extreme actions to protect her people, ultimately enacting a plan to murder everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. who isn't an Inhuman unprovoked. It ''really'' starts to get bad when Raina reveals to Skye what she did: the more her daughter attempts to thwart her plans, the more she chooses her hate over the people she cares about, until Skye finally stops her once and for all and she ''loses it.'' By the end she is draining Skye's very life force, tearfully ranting about how it was her destiny to do so rather than reunite their family as she once thought. Cal is ultimately forced to kill her before she hurts anyone else.
245* YouAreWhatYouHate: She's the type of hateful person she fears that make up S.H.I.E.L.D., and the worst part is that she's completely oblivious to it.

256
257A teleporting, eyeless Inhuman whose motives are unknown.
258----
259* AmbiguouslyEvil: He makes a very unsettling remark to Cal about how his actions have sealed the fate of him and Skye. Turns out, he's not evil. At least at that point.
260* BigBrotherMentor: He styles himself as a big brother figure to all the younger Inhumans. He greets Raina by calling her "beautiful" and assures Skye that she is more than "destruction". To both of them he promises safety, understanding, and a means of managing the cost of their gift.
261* BigDamnHeroes:
262** He rescues Raina before she could be captured or killed.
263--->'''Gordon:''' It's okay, beautiful. I'll show you the way.
264** He later saves Skye from the "real" S.H.I.E.L.D.
265--->'''Skye:''' Gordon...\
266'''Gordon:''' ''[teleporting in]'' Hello, Skye. Ready to go home?
267* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's very pleasant to Skye, but he's downright cruel to Cal (putting him in his place about his petty feud with Coulson was one thing, locking him in a room with no door or windows is another). He also snaps at Lincoln when he tries to help with Raina, bluntly saying that he wouldn't know what she's gone through because he didn't have to suffer a debilitating external transformation.
268* BizarreAlienSenses: Gordon has no eyes, but through some means can see as well if not better than a normal human. He's fully capable of perceiving people and objects as well as any sighted person, and can apparently sense his targets from great distances, down to knowing if they need his help. It has something to do with quantum entanglement.
269* CallOnMe: His senses allow him to tell when other Inhumans need him. He tells Skye that he will know when she's ready to go. Sure enough, only seconds pass between "Gordon, help" and his teleportation.
270* CannotTellAJoke: By his own admission, he's terrible at telling jokes but it doesn't stops him from trying while breaking the ice with new Inhumans.
271* CanonImmigrant: Soon after his first couple appearances in the show, he appeared for the first time in the comics' universe.
272* TheChampion: He is the defender of the Inhumans. He jumped in to save Raina from S.H.I.E.L.D. and then abducted Cal because his grudge match against S.H.I.E.L.D. was attracting dangerous attention. Then, when Skye was threatened by "real" S.H.I.E.L.D., he jumped in to help when she called him.
273-->'''Lincoln''': It's his job to keep us safe.
274* 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 [[ComicBook/XMen Nightcrawler]].
275* TheDragon: He's Jiayang's champion, so when she goes bad, so does he.
276* EndearinglyDorky: His sense of humor really endears him to Skye.
277* EyelessFace: One of the physical features Gordon has as an Inhuman is a noticeable lack of eyes.
278* FantasticRacism: Shows shades of this towards Cal even though he's Jiaying's husband, since Cal's powers came from chemical experimentation, not from birth or genetics. He doesn't seem very trusting of regular humans, either.
279* TheFerryman: He transports both people and objects (including pizza) to and from Lai Xi. He can sense when people call for him, which handily removes the need for any communication equipment.
280* HeroicNeutral: He only acts to protect his fellow Inhumans; [[NeutralNoLonger which ultimately steers him straight into villain territory]] when he wholeheartedly agrees with Jiaying over murdering S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in cold blood to 'protect' the Inhumans in the finale.
281* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gordon's 1983 self. After being drained of blood, marrow, and who knows what else was necessary for Nathaniel Malick to transfer his powers to a young John Garrett, he was left extremely weak and imprisoned with Coulson. Despite Coulson's warnings he teleported the both of them out of their cell to free Coulson so that could he save the rest of his people, and died from the exertion.]]
282* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His TeleportSpam fighting style is his undoing, impaling himself on Fitz's steel pipe when trying to teleport behind him.
283* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Accidentally teleports into Fitz's steel pipe during the season finale.
284* InnocentBlueEyes: Before he went through the mists as a tender young child, his eyes were visibly blue.
285* {{Irony}}: He can teleport, but can't see where he's going. This is played up in a flashback to his childhood, where he [[PowerIncontinence smacks into numerous walls]] because he [[HowDoIShotWeb can neither control his power]] nor see the world around him to compensate.
286* KickTheDog: He really likes to push Cal's buttons (even though he's Jiaying's husband).
287* KirkSummation: He kidnaps Cal in the middle of a battle with S.H.I.E.L.D., then tells him in no uncertain terms that he's not one of the Inhumans and his attempts to "prove" S.H.I.E.L.D. is evil for their treatment of genuinely dangerous and unstable gifted people is only making them look worse.
288* TheMentor: He's picked up the role for modern-day Inhumans after the non-permanent death of Skye's mother.
289* MundaneUtility: Apparently uses his powers to bring Chicago deep-dish pizza to Lai Xi.
290* PowerIncontinence: Demonstrated in a flashback to his childhood. In the present, he's in complete control.
291* RequiredSecondaryPowers: His teleportation power comes packaged with the ability to "see" and "hear" via quantum entanglement. This is why he never teleports into solid objects and can use CallOnMe.
292* TheResenter: He shows shades of this to Lincoln, because while Gordon's gift came at the cost of his eyes, Lincoln didn't have to undergo a gruelling physical transformation when he received his gift.
293* SuperpowerLottery: He is the first recorded Inhuman to possess teleportation. He changed everything with his ability to travel great distances instantly and covertly. As seen in his fight with Cal, he also apparently got superhuman strength out of the deal.
294* SuperStrength: Appears to be part of his powerset as he easily throws Cal into a wall.
295* TakingYouWithMe: After being impaled, he drops a gem, intending to kill Coulson, Fitz, and Mack. Fortunately, Coulson caught it in time, though at the cost of his own hand.
296* TeleFrag: Dies when he accidentally teleports himself onto Fitz's steel pipe.
297* TeleportSpam: His Inhuman ability grants him the gift of teleportation.
298* UndyingLoyalty: To Jiaying. This makes sense, as in a flashback it was shown that she was the one who mentored him and taught him to control his powers. He also appears to be one of the few Inhumans who is completely aware of and in fact aiding her FalseFlagOperation against S.H.I.E.L.D.

309An Inhuman that stole Terrigen crystals from Afterlife to make her daughter undergo Terrigenesis after she had been rejected.
310----
311* ActionMom: She's a mother with SuperStrength and also a pretty good fighter, as May found the hard way.
312* BaitAndSwitchBoss: It appears she's the main threat in Bahrain. She's not, her daughter is.
313* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Her own daughter warped her mind into that of a berserker.
314* CreepyBlueEyes: She's brainwashed in her entire appearance, so the creepy part is inevitable.
315* CuteBruiser: Due to being portrayed by the superhot Winter Ave Zoli and possessing super strength.
316* DarkActionGirl: She was easily able to hold her own against Agent May, who is a highly trained S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
317* TheDragon: Turns out she's her daughter, Katya's, most powerful minion.
318* GlassCannon: She's superhumanly strong, but dies when May impales her with an improvised spear, which is a bit weird considering she stopped a car dead in its tracks offscreen.
319* HidingInAHijab: A PaperThinDisguise version when she's hiding in Bahrain. Not convincing in the slightest as S.H.I.E.L.D. and Bahraini intelligence agency found her pretty quickly, likely because she's brainwashed and her enthraller is too young to know how to properly wear the hijab.
320* InformedAttribute: Pretty much any genuine thing about her is just informed by Jiaying and S.H.I.E.L.D., as she's brainwashed before getting killed in her actual appearance.
321* SuperStrength: Her Inhuman ability makes crunching cars easy.
322* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had Katya survived the Bahrain incident, she would have eventually been responsible for the type of anti-Inhuman bigotry that leads to a fascist dictatorship, all because Eva thought giving her [[CreepyChild mentally disturbed]] daughter superpowers ''against her spiritual leader's judgment'' was a good idea.

334Eva's daughter, who developed sensory manipulation powers after undergoing terrigenesis.
335----
336* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Dark hair and crazy.
337* ChildrenAreInnocent: Subverted in spades! May thought that the girl was just a hostage of the evil woman in the building, Eva Belyakov, and took her rescue as a personal goal. She was trying to get pregnant at the time, and had a motherly care for that poor helpless little girl, subject to an evil mother. But when she defeats Eva, it turns out that it was the girl who was mind-controlling everyone in the building, including her mother. Not only that, the only way that May could save all the other agents (that the girl could easily kill, just by wishing so) was to [[WouldHurtAChild kill her]].
338* CreepyChild: When she reveals herself, it's revealed that ''she'' is the one addicted to other people's pain. In fact, Jiaying rejected her for terrigenesis because she [[ProperlyParanoid correctly predicted]] Katya would be bad news.
339* EmotionEater: Due to her powers she can feed off emotion like a leech. She's addicted to "pain". She can drain people to the extent of killing them.
340* EnfantTerrible: She had a mental breakdown due to lacking the proper preparation to handle her powers.
341* TheManBehindTheMan: Turns out she was controlling her mother and the Bahraini mobsters.
342* MindControl: Her power allows her to control people with a touch.
343* SmallRoleBigImpact: She doesn't get to do much before she dies, but her death is May's [[MyGreatestFailure greatest regret]] and the reason she temporarily retired, and Katya's survival in Framework is the reason Hydra was able to take over.
344* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: She was already a little disturbed, and undergoing terrigenesis magnified that causing her to be ruled by her power.

356One of Jiaying's most trusted Inhumans, she has the power to spawn multiple copies of herself which operate independently. She's one of the few female Inhumans who is shown to be a capable fighter.
357----
358* BrainwashedAndCrazy: She's infected by Hive in "The Singularity".
359* CharacterDeath: She and her last clone are killed by a Kree Reaper in "Failed Experiments".
360* EvilRedhead: She's nicknamed "ginger ninja". She's not really evil, though, just misguided.
361* {{Expy}}: Her powers make her one of [[ComicBook/XFactor James Madrox a.k.a. Multiple Man]], whose movie rights are held by Fox.
362* HeelFaceTurn: She becomes a S.H.I.E.L.D. ally in Season Three.
363* HeroicBSOD: Is thoroughly traumatized when Lash kills one of her clones, presumably the first time it's happened. She weathers it better the next time, though Hive's influence probably helped.
364* ForgottenFallenFriend: Her death is not acknowledged by any of the Inhumans.
365* InSeriesNickname: She and her clones get a couple impolite nicknames, "ginger ninjas" being the nicest.
366* KeystoneArmy: Take out the primary Alisha, and all the clones are taken out too.

368* PerpetualMotionMonster: Downplayed with her clones, who get up from being knocked out almost instantly. Short of physically disabling them, they never stop fighting.
369* PunchClockVillain: As Lincoln puts it, not evil, just misguided. Even under Hive's control, she's a pretty decent person even if she's trying to help Hive's plans.
370* {{Synchronization}}: She can feel what her clones feel.
371* UnskilledButStrong: She's a decent fighter, but she relies on her numbers a lot. Skye is able to hold her own against her five clones for a really long time because she's been training with May.

383-->''"Now I want your honest opinion on this, what do you think of the name 'Inferno'? I like it, but I don't love it. 'Firestarter', well, feels a little nineties, and 'Burning Man', well, that would have been perfect if it wasn't for some bloody desert hippie-fest."''
384
385An acquaintance of Lincoln and pre-Inhuman who was kicked out of Afterlife before undergoing Terrigenesis. He is exposed to Terrigen after the fall of Afterlife, gaining fire-based powers.
386----
387* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, he's a human with supernatural abilities. Here, he's an Inhuman.
388* AdaptationalNationality: His comics counterpart is American. In the MCU, he's Australian.
389* AlwaysABiggerFish: James is pretty powerful with his pyrokinesis and being able to enshroud objects with fire or turn them into makeshift explosives. He's absolutely confident that he can kill Daisy and the other agents when they find out he's with the watchdogs. Then [[TerrorHero Robbie]] [[TheJuggernaut Reyes]] shows up and [[CurbstompBattle shows him]] what [[HellFire real firepower]] lookslike. James has no chance at all because '''1)''' Robbie is immune to normal fire '''2)''' the type of fire he uses bypasses James' fire resistance and '''3)''' along with being able to create way more fire than James, [[HenshinHero Robbie as Ghost Rider]] is also a [[SuperStrength super strong]], [[MadeOfDiamond invulnerable]], LightningBruiser that can turn normal people into a paste within seconds and for all James' powers, physically he is only human in terms of strength.
390* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wanted Terrigenesis, he got it. Come Season 4, he hates it.
391* BoomerangBigot: After being cured of Hive's sway, he comes to hate being an Inhuman, thinking their kind are monsters. He helps the Watchdogs to hunt other Inhumans down, on the understanding that he'll be the last to die.
392* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's infected by Hive in "The Singularity".
393* TheBrute: Serves this role while working for Hive thanks to his explosive powers, habit of SayingTooMuch and overconfident personality. He eventually gets promoted to CoDragons with Giyera once the two of them become the last members of Hive's group that haven't either been killed or defected from his side.
394* ChainPain: He wields a charged chain in "Emancipation", which is capable of putting a hole right through Lash's torso. Tries it again in Season 4 to do the same to Daisy, only for Ghost Rider to catch it and take it for himself.
395* CombatPragmatist: He doesn't waste an opportunity to skewer Lash through the back.
396* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Defied by James. Once he gets powers, he starts brainstorming fire-related codenames to use, ultimately deciding on "Hellfire".
397* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: A loud and abrasive show-off who is surprisingly competent with his flaming chain, even able to kill the NighInvulnerable Lash.
398* CompositeCharacter: He has the name and codename of comic books' Hellfire, who had the power to control supernatural flames due to being a descendant of Carter Slade a.k.a. Phantom Rider, and the powers of Gambit. He is also shown using a flaming chain as a nod to ComicBook/GhostRider. Amusingly, when the actual Ghost Rider shows up, the first thing he does is take the chain. When coming up with codenames, he briefly considered "Inferno", which also references one of the post-''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'' Inhumans.
399* DeadpanSnarker: A rather callous one, at that. See his [[EvenEvilHasStandards somewhat]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness disturbed]] response to the Primitives:
400--> '''James:''' [[{{Understatement}} I think you overcooked 'em, Doc.]]
401* DoingInTheWizard: In the comics, his powers are supernatural in nature, and stem from him being a descendant of the original ComicBook/GhostRider. In the show, they're simply a result of his Inhuman heritage. Coincidentally, this is before the arc of the next season that addresses the truly supernatural in the Marvel universe to promote ''Doctor Strange'', which includes bringing in Ghost Rider himself.
402* {{Expy}}: With the X-Men off limits, he gives the MCU its own version of Gambit.
403** He's also a pretty obvious expy of Pyro given his nationality and powerset.
404* FaceHeelTurn: Though he was always a {{Jerkass}}, and he had earlier been under Hive's sway, James manages to pull this off by joining forces with the Watchdogs to exterminate all Inhumans, even and including himself.
405* HeroKiller: Despite his initial appearences James is [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass a lot more dangerous then he seems]] and is responsible for Lash's death (who at the time was trying to kill Hive) and critically wounding Lincoln.
406* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Wants a GenocideFromTheInside as of Season 4, hating his Inhumanity. He's made a deal with the Watchdogs that he will let them [[KillYouLast kill him last]].
407* {{Jerkass}}: He's crass, selfish and unapologetic.
408* MythologyGag. One of the codenames he considers after unlocking his fire powers is Inferno. In the comics, this is the codename for Dante Pertuz, another Inhuman with fire based powers.
409* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he first sees the Primitives for himself, he appears to be a tad bit horrified at how they turned out, even going so far as to tell Hive exactly what he thought.
410* PlayingWithFire: He has the abiolity to superheat anything he touches, turning it into a bomb, the effectiveness of which depends on the size of the object.
411* PowerIncontinence: After undergoing Terrigenesis, he makes everything he touches exploded like a pyromaniac King Midas. He's cured of it by Hive's infection.
412* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: After the trauma of going through terrigenesis, the ecstasy of being swayed by Hive and the depressing withdrawal that came from its death he despises Inhumanity and wants them all exterminated, even--and ending with--himself.
413* TakeThat: He gives these up the gazoo when he thinks of possible nicknames; he thinks that "[[Music/TheProdigy Firestarter]]" feels "a little nineties," and "Burning Man" would have been perfect if it wasn't for "some bloody desert hippie-fest."

432* CanonForeigner: There is no Inhuman in the comics called Li. His power seems to be inspired by Hela from ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. However it is similar to the obscure X-Men character Clearcut.
433* TheCorruptor: It's possible his ruthless approach's influence on Jiaying played a factor in her turning villainess in Season 2 aside from Daniel Whitehall's torture.
434* GreaterScopeVillain: Of Season 2, even before Daniel Whitehall's torture of Jiaying, it's possible Li's corruption of his mistress with his influence stemming from his ruthlessness is what led her to become a villainess.
435* HateSink: He's clearly made to be repugnant compared to the rest of the cast, he's even played by the [[FaceHeelTurn turncoat]] GeneralRipper [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII Tian Zhao]], it's quite cathartic to see Kora EyeScream him with her HandBlast and later kill him. While [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil Daniel Whitehall was responsible for Jiaying's torture that turned her into a villainess in Season 2]], [[TheCorruptor it's possible that Li's influence on Jiaying prior to her capture by HYDRA is what contributes her to taking on a darker path, only to be exacerbated by Whitehall's experimentation on her]].

449----
450* AntiVillain: Most of her villainy is the result of [[spoiler:Nathaniel manipulating her, after taking advantage of her [[DrivenToSuicide volatile emotional state]] at the time.]]

455* HandBlast: Had the ability to release destructive energy blasts.
456* HealingHands: Another potential application of her power. [[spoiler:She initially tries to use it to bring back Jiaying, to no success. Her second attempt, to revive Daisy, works.]]
457* MacGuffinSuperPerson: [[spoiler:It turns out that her survival was the crux of Fitz' time travel ploy, as her energy manipulation powers, along with May's [[TheEmpath empathy powers]], were needed to create a signal that would give the Chronicoms empathy, leading to them standing down.]]
458* PowerIncontinence: Unfortunately, Kora couldn't control her energy powers, [[spoiler:a fact that, in the original timeline, led to her suicide. In the altered timeline, she gains more control over them with Nathaniel's help.]]
459* PsychologicalProjection: Her fear of her own PowerIncontinence led her to believe that Jiaying was afraid of her as well.

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

497
498The king of the Inhumans.
499----
500* AccidentalMurder: The death of his parents. [[spoiler:Maximus forged their signature on a document suggesting that Black Bolt undergo dangerous brain surgery. This was only intended to get him to flee Attilan, but when, overwhelmed with confusion and grief, Black Bolt asked "Why?" his voice disintegrated both of them.]]
501* AdaptationalWimp: The comic version of Black Bolt has flight, SuperStrength (he can kick around somebody like [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm]] with ease), is NighInvulnerable and has energy projection powers. This version has none of those things.
502* AdaptedOut: In the comics, he is a polygamist with five wives, here he's married to just Medusa. This is because said wives were Universal Inhumans - aliens that the Kree also experimented besides humanity - but since Agents of SHIELD established that the Inhuman experiment only worked on Earth, they don't exist in the MCU.
503* AliensSpeakingEnglish: A notable aversion in regards to his sign language. While played straight in regards to the rest of the lunar Inhumans speaking American English, Black Bolt and Medusa employ their own self-created sign language instead of American Sign Language.
504* AlliterativeName: '''B'''lackagar '''B'''oltagon.
505* AlternateSelf: Has [[Characters/MCUEarth838 one]] on [[Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness Earth-838]] who's part of the Illuminati SuperTeam.
506* CainAndAbel: He's the Abel to Maximus' Cain, who's conspiring to overthrow him and take his place as King of Attilan.
507* TheChainsOfCommanding: Black Bolt never wanted to be king, while Maximus was all for it, leaving open the possibility of Black Bolt ceding the throne to his brother. Then they underwent Terrigenesis, and their resulting powersets combined with Attilan's strict laws completely eliminated any chance of this, as Maximus only avoided the mines of the lowest caste due to being royalty. Black Bolt accidentally killing his parents shortly afterwards and being forced to ascend the throne did not help matters. [[spoiler:The final kicker was the Genetic Council revealing to Black Bolt an impending threat to Attilan, which they believed only he had the power to defend them from.]]
508* ColorCharacter: '''Black''' Bolt.
509* HappilyMarried: To Medusa.
510* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Due to his [[MakeMeWannaShout destructive voice]].
511* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:How he justifies taking the throne to Maximus. The latter doesn't buy it.]]
512* TheLeader: Well, he is the king.
513* MadeOfIron: During his confrontation with Honolulu PD in the second episode, Black Bolt is straight-up beaten and tased and doesn't seem any worse for wear.
514* MakeMeWannaShout: Can cause massive destruction with a whisper.
515* MarqueeAlterEgo: He doesn't wear a mask most of the time, save for ceremonial purposes.
516* MinoredInAssKicking: Since his [[MakeMeWannaShout primary offensive capability]] can be ''[[PowerIncontinence excessively]]'' destructive and thus should almost never be used, he has learned how to be an excellent physical fighter in close-quarters combat.
517* NoSocialSkills: Nope, not even a little. He sees nothing wrong with causing traffic accidents and just walking away, or outright shoplifting and breaking a few guards' hands. Though it's justified, seeing how the Royal Family's spent their whole lives on Attilan and as royalty, logically wouldn't know how things work on Earth.
518* TheOnlyOne: [[spoiler:The Genetic Council, upon learning the extent of his powers, believed that Black Bolt was the only person who could protect Attilan from an unspecified future threat, which is why he felt he had to be king despite not wanting to be.]]
519* SelfMadeOrphan: A very tragic example, as when he first got his powers he didn't realize ''any'' speaking would create a devastating attack, and accidentally ''disintegrated'' both his parents.
520* SiblingTriangle: With Medusa and Maximus. He's won (so far anyway).
521* SilentSnarker: Particularly during his interactions with the Honolulu PD.
522* SuperStrength: He can bend a metal pipe of a gas container and the handle of a vault door with just one hand.
523* WhatTheHellHero: Gets one from Medusa for [[spoiler:keeping his knowledge of Maximus's plan and Triton's survival from the others. They keep coming as the others learn that he has knowledge of some unspecified impending threat, which he refuses to fill them in on.]]

537
538The queen of the Inhumans and wife of Black Bolt.
539----
540* ActionGirl: Even without her hair, she's still able to defeat [[TheDragon Auran]] in a fight, and the latter only survived because of her HealingFactor.
541* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Medusa's hair could lift multi-ton objects and strike hard enough to generate sonic booms. Here, it doesn't seem to be any stronger than the rest of her.
542* BroughtDownToBadass: Having her hair cut off left her without access to her powers. However, she is more than capable of holding her own against Auran.
543* FreudianExcuse: Her parents' failure to rebel against the king and queen at the time led Medusa to believe that trying to change the status quo was futile.
544* HappilyMarried: To Black Bolt.
545* TheHighQueen: As the Queen of the Inhumans, ruling over Attilan along Black Bolt, Medusa is a determined woman who takes pride in her position.
546* KleptomaniacHero: On Earth, she repeatedly steals from civilians.
547* TheLancer: This is her role in the Royal Family's FiveManBand (and to a larger extent, for all of Attilan) since being the queen makes her Black Bolt's second-in-command for all intents and purposes.
548* MoralityChain: Is hinted to be this to Black Bolt; for instance, she's willing to give Maximus a fair trial, while he would rather get revenge.
549* PrehensileHair: Her Inhuman power.
550* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. In the comics, she and Black Bolt are [[KissingCousins distant cousins]], but here, she refers to Gorgon as "My husband's cousin," implying they aren't related.
551* SiblingTriangle: With the Boltagon brothers. There are hints that she might have chosen Maximus over Blackagar had things turned differently (though presently, she loves Black Bolt).
552* TraumaticHaircut: Her hair is cut off by the bad guys. She later tells Black Bolt that it hurt when it happened, indicating that she may have some level of feeling in her hair that would make it all the more traumatic.
553* UngratefulBitch: Tries to ditch Louise without so much as a thank you when the latter locates Black Bolt. Louise calls her on it.
554* UnscrupulousHero: Her only goal is to find her family. To this end, she forces Lousie to follow a helicopter at gunpoint, then shoots a cop car to keep them from pursuing.

569The brother of Black Bolt, with ambitions to take the throne himself.
570----
571* AdaptationalHeroism: He's more of an AntiVillain than his comic self.
572* AdaptationalWimp: Unlike his comic book counterpart, who has psychic powers, Maximus lost any potential for powers when he underwent Terrigenesis.
573* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:His goal to undergo Terrigenesis a second time ends up failing, with the only crystal held by Medusa for negotiating destroyed and himself stranded on the moon.]]
574* AntiVillain: Stages a coup to take the throne of Attilan and tries to wipe out the Royal Family, but is doing so in an effort to dismantle Attilan's oppressive FantasticCasteSystem and free the lower-caste Inhumans forced into a life of slavery. Though this depends on how much of what he says he actually believes and how much is just self-serving demagoguery.
575* AuthorityInNameOnly: The only reason why Maximus has ''any'' political clout is that his brother Black Bolt is the king. Otherwise, he'd be a slave due to his lack of powers.
576* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:In a manner of speaking - the population of Attilan does go to live on Earth, and Black Bolt promises to change their society for the better, but Maximus won't be around to see it.]]
577* BadassNormal: He's the only normal, powerless human in a society of superpowered beings, and still managed to overthrow Black Bolt and take over Attilan.
578* BeardOfEvil: Sports a short one along his jaw and serves as the BigBad.
579* BigBad: His coup is what kicks off the plot.
580* BlessedWithSuck: His Inhuman power is... to be a normal human.
581* BroughtDownToNormal: When he underwent Terrigenesis years ago when he came of age.
582* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:His failsafe of setting up Attilan's barrier to fail without his input every hour ends up dooming the city, as even the partial shutdowns it experiences when he's a little bit late end up causing irreparable damage. Even when the failsafe is disabled, the barrier collapses completely within the day.]]
583* TheEvilPrince: Plans to take the throne from his brother.
584* FalseFlagOperation: He arranges for new Inhumans on Earth to be killed to aid his argument that the Royal Family needs to take over and help them.
585* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Black Bolt spares him, but traps him in an underground bunker on the now lifeless Attilan for the rest of his life.]]
586* IJustWantToBeSpecial: His Terrigenesis turning him into a mere human spurred quite a lot of resentment in him, as if it weren't for his royal blood, he would have been sent down to the mines like so many other low-powered Inhumans. This is especially in comparison to his brother, who is stated to maybe be the most powerful Inhuman ever. When he learns that [[spoiler:Black Bolt's DNA may hold the key to allowing him to undergo a second Terrigenesis and maybe get some actual powers, it forces him to scrap his initial plan of killing Black Bolt, for the time being anyway.]]
587* NonActionBigBad: He has no powers of his own, and relies on his ability to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate]] others to get the job done. It's ultimately revealed he wishes to undergo a second Terrigenesis which could potentially give him powers, thus ultimately averting this trope. [[spoiler:It never ends up happening.]]
588* TheResenter: Resents Black Bolt for becoming king in spite of his initial reluctance. [[spoiler:Even when they were boys, he had Black Bolt signed up for a potentially-lethal brain surgery in an attempt to drive him away from Attilan.]]
589* SanitySlippage: Goes from wanting to abolish an oppressive FantasticCasteSystem to being willing to [[spoiler:''blow up the dome of Attilan, potentially killing the entire population, all to keep Black Bolt from taking back the throne''.]]
590* SettleForSibling: His attempts to win over Crystal to his side after the coup just screams this.
591* SiblingTriangle: With his brother and sister-in-law. There are shades that he still longs for Medusa.
592* StalkerWithACrush: Creepily tells Medusa in the first episode that he's thought of them together.
593* VillainHasAPoint: His desire to abolish Attilan's FantasticCasteSystem is easy to get behind, both in and out of universe.
594* WellIntentionedExtremist: His plan is to abolish the FantasticCasteSystem and bring their people new space to live on Earth.

607
608Black Bolt's cousin and advisor, a strategist and philosopher.
609----
610* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, Karnak never went Terrigenesis because his parents feared what he would turn into after [[BodyHorror what happened]] to his brother Triton, and instead he trained vigorously, with all his abilities products of being a BadassNormal (as much as this trope applies to an Inhuman - who in the comics are usually stronger and hardier than normal people even before Terrigenesis). Here, his abilities are implicitly the result of Terrigenesis [[labelnote:note]] Given his elite position and that Inhumans with no powers are enslaved in Attilan [[/labelnote]] and he displays CombatClairvoyance as well.
611* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He has the ability to mentally simulate and predict entire virtual scenarios of potential future events and actions, seeing and predicting the consequences and flaws of all actions within each scenario, and their probabilities of success and failure, described as "seeing the flaw in all things".
612* BlessedWithSuck: Somewhat. As we see in the first episode, his powers let him see that a potential relationship would absolutely suck (probably because he's kind of a jackass), but when he gets to Earth, hits his head, and loses his powers, he starts a relationship.
613* BrokenAce: After hitting his head on earth, his AwesomenessByAnalysis powers are on the fritz.
614* BrutalHonesty: Combined with NoSocialSkills, due to his power to literally see the flaws of everything around him, he is extremely blunt and outright tells people that nothing matters because of the inevitable death of the universe.
615* DeadpanSnarker: His BrutalHonesty often comes off as this.
616* DramaPreservingHandicap: After arriving on Earth he suffers a head injury that disables his powers, the first indication of which is that he can't perfectly navigate to civilization and ends up going in circles.
617* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: With Jen, a regular human woman in the fourth episode.]]
618* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:After Maximus's crew kills Gorgon, Karnak becomes obsessed with killing Maximus.]]
619* NoSocialSkills: During a dinner, he shows possible romantic interest in a serving girl, but bluntly pushes her away after detecting her weaknesses and flaws, while predicting they would spend their first night together, he also describes in extreme detail how their relationship would inevitably turn to annoyance then fall apart completely within days. Gorgon lampshades this by saying "[Karnak] is his own worst enemy".

635Black Bolt's cousin and the leader of Attilan's military.
636----
637* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Karnak infuses him with [[HealingFactor Auran]]'s [=DNA=] and puts him through a second Terrigenesis to bring him back to life. It works.]]
638* TheBigGuy: He is the largest and most physically powerful member of the Royal Family. His Inhuman superpower with the hooved feet and ShockwaveStomp also fit perfectly for him to fill this role in the FiveManBand.
639* BloodKnight: Would rather solve his problems by fighting than by talking.
640* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Being resurrected turned him into a deranged [[TheBerserker berserker]], though he managed to calm down a bit thanks to Karnak. Still, he can barely keep his rage in check, and was willing to stay behind to die again on Attilan as he thought himself to be too dangerous. Karnak talks him out of it.]]
641* DeadpanSnarker: At times:

643* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:His comic counterpart is still alive. Subverted in the next episode, as Gorgon comes back.]]
644* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Seems to be his main flaw. He destroys the Mondrover by stomping on it, giving scientists on Earth a (somewhat) clear shot of his hoof. And then on Earth, he tries to search for Triton by wading into the ocean, despite the fact that he can't swim and would have drowned if not for the intervention of a group of friendly surfers.
645* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He uses his ShockwaveStomp to bring down the lab on himself [[TakingYouWithMe and Mordis]].]]
646* IWorkAlone: Develops this mentality after one of the surfers is killed.
647* RaceLift: He's white in the comics, but in the show, he's played by black actor Eme Ikwuakor.
648* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Triton's Blue. Always eager for a fight and not thinking about the consequences of his rash actions.
649* ShockwaveStomp: His superpower is stomping on the ground with his hooves and creating shockwaves.
650* SuperDrowningSkills: He can't swim at all, due to a combination of his leg shape and the fact that he grew up on the Moon with no bodies of water large enough to do so.
651* TooDumbToLive: Walked right out into the ocean trying to find Triton, despite being completely unable to swim. The only reason he didn't die was because of a few nearby surfers who rescued him.
652* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He carelessly destroys a Mondrover which causes the humans to find their location.

664----
665* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics, her hair varies from quite red to incredibly red. Here, she's blonde.
666* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, she could lift the entire city of Attilan with her powers. In the series, the greatest extent she has demonstrated is manipulating a thunderstorm.
667* 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.
668* BlowYouAway: Can manipulate gusts of wind.
669* CategoryTraitor: How Maximus views her, as she supports the same FantasticCasteSystem her parents died trying to fight.
670* DishingOutDirt: She can control earth.
671* ElementalPowers: Due to her Inhuman heritage, she has the ability to manipulate all four elements.
672* EntitledBitch: Shows shades of this in "Make Way for...Medusa", where she's needlessly abrasive to Dave and Audrey after the former accidentally injures Lockjaw (due to him ''teleporting into the middle of the road'') and the latter not being able to instantly fix him.
673* FantasticRacism: She looks down on Maximus for being human.
674* FauxActionGirl: Despite having an impressive arsenal of powers at her disposal, she is quickly captured by Maximus and his minions using mundane methods such as StandardFemaleGrabArea and kept a prisoner inside her apartment.
675* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:After her time on Earth, Crystal grows to envy normal humans just living their lives without powers.]]

677* MakingASplash: She can control water. This includes water in solid manner too, when she uses her powers to freeze a ball, making her AnIcePerson.
678* NiceJobBreakingItHero: OncePerEpisode.
679** She had Lockjaw send the Royal Family down to Earth one-by-one at the beginning of the coup. This ended up separating them, and provided a power vacuum for Maximus to fill.
680** She demonstrated her powers for Auran as a distraction to get to her communicator. Medusa almost immediately realized that it was too easy and the line was being traced to her.
681** Her openly rejection of Maximus and escape was immediately spun into proof of his statements that the Royal Family had fled the responsibility of ruling.
682* PetTheDog: Literally; she may be a RoyalBrat, but cares deeply for Lockjaw. Notably, her worst moments are prompted by Lockjaw being injured.
683* PlayingWithFire: She can control fire, manifested as a form of laser attack. The sixth episode shows that she can also create the more traditional fireballs.
684* ShockAndAwe: She can create lightning with her powers, which she uses in the sixth episode to signal her location to Medusa and Black Bolt.
685* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She's attracted to Dave because he's so nice to her, despite she was prejudiced against humans before.
686* UndyingLoyalty: To her family.
687* WideEyedIdealist: Promotional profiles describe her as a naïve figure.
688* WrongGenreSavvy: Due to her youth and inexperience, she believes herself to be a GuileHeroine, when her spur of the moment deceptions are really just [[DidntThinkThisThrough poorly thought out]] and [[BatmanGambit predictable]], to the point of [[NiceJobBreakingItHero making things worse for her family]]. Maximus actually seems ''embarrassed'' for her when she [[spoiler:openly rejects his rule in front of the council and runs off to find Lockjaw]].

702* DemotedToExtra: Despite being one of the main Inhumans in the comics, he only appears in a handful of episodes. Mike Moh is also billed as a guest star rather than part of the main cast.
703* DisneyDeath: Is believed to have died in the first episode, but turns up alive and well in "Havoc in the Hidden Land".
704* DualWielding: He uses two bladed weapons when he took out the Attilan Royal Guards who were protecting Maximus.
705* FightsLikeANormal: His superpower (underwater breathing) has ''absolutely nothing'' to do with his fighting skills.
706* FishPeople: He is able to survive underwater.
707* NervesOfSteel: Is calm under pressure.
708* NeverFoundTheBody: He disappears into the water after being shot, but given his powers, it's unknown whether he actually died. Sure enough, he's eventually revealed to be alive.
709* OneManArmy: He effortlessly slaughters Maximus's guards and captures him, all by himself with nothing but two knives.
710* RaceLift: Is white in the comics (well, technically ''green''), but played by Asian actor Mike Moh here.
711* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Gorgon's Red.
712* TheSixthRanger: Zigzagged since he is actually the first member of the Royal Family to appear onscreen during the pilot episode, but he is then seemingly killed and goes MIA for the majority of the season. He becomes this for the Royal Family after he's revealed to have survived his supposed death and rejoins them towards the end of the season.
713* TheSpymaster: Seems to be this to the Royal Family, being a confidant in Black Bolt's secret plans (that even the Queen doesn't know about), and Triton is the one who slaughters Maximus's guards and captures him.
714* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets shot in the first episode and jumps off a cliff. Subverted in "Havoc in the Hidden Land", where he turns up alive early in the episode.

725The pet companion and "family dog" of the Royal Family.
726----
727* BigFriendlyDog: He may be the size of a bear, but he still acts like a dog. This is because he ''is'' a dog and the result of experiments with terrigenesis on non-humans.
728* DitzyGenius: He's a dog, and acts like it, but he's a genius compared to normal dogs.
729* DogsAreDumb: Despite orders to keep the Royal Family together, Lockjaw winds up teleporting them all over Hawaii. Crystal explains this as him getting sloppy due to exhaustion.
730* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Black Bolt is literally a word away from ending Maximus's coup... and then Lockjaw teleports him away.
731* TeamPet: Aside from being the size of a bear and having Inhuman powers, he looks and acts just like an Earth bulldog and is treated like one by the other characters.
732* {{Teleportation}}: 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).

748* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, Auran is a gold-skinned woman with large, bat-like ears that give her [[{{Supersenses}} parabolic hearing]]. In the show, she looks like a normal human, and possesses a Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}-like healing factor.
749* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Auran is one of the royal family's allies. Here, she's Maximus's enforcer, and since the show has not taken the time to establish her motivations (yet) as it did for Maximus, she ends up coming off as far more evil than he is.
750* AfraidOfNeedles: [[spoiler:Much to Karnak's surprise.]]
751* CastFromLifeSpan: [[spoiler:Declan mentions that her use of her healing powers shortens her telomeres, indicating that there's a limit to how many times Auran can regenerate.]]

941----
942* BeamSpam: Fires destructive energy beams from his eyes. Or, possibly [[BodyHorror his face, given that he has to wear a full mask.]]
943* DeadpanSnarker: Constantly quips in tense situations, such as telling Auran that keeping people safe isn't his strong suit when she orders him to protect one of their team.
944* TheDreaded: The thought of letting him roam free terrifies just about everyone. Even Maximus seems reluctant to let him out of his cell, and Black Bolt (the only Inhuman in Attilan more powerful than him) is noticeably unnerved to discover that Mordis is free.
945* {{Expy}}: Of Cyclops from the ''ComicBook/XMen'' as both are characters who fire destructive beams of energy from their eyes which can't be controlled, specially his alternate counterpart in the ''ComicBook/AgeOfX'' storyline, dubbed Basilisk, who had his eyelids removed so he could be used to execute other mutants. He's also visually reminiscent of Xorn.
946* {{Foil}}: To Black Bolt. Both are immensely powerful Inhumans (it's outright stated that they are the two most powerful Inhumans in Attilan) whose abilities have the potential for widespread destruction. However, Black Bolt is allowed to wander freely and is capable of keeping his powers in check consciously. Mordis remains confined and suffers from PowerIncontinence, forcing him to wear a special mask.
947* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Auran dreads working with him, and even Maximus seems hesitant to let him out. He doesn't seem to like Auran much, either.

950* PersonOfMassDestruction: The second most powerful Inhuman in Attilan next to Black Bolt.
951* PowerIncontinence: He can't control the destructive energy his body generates and needs to wear a special suit and mask to hold it in check.

953* TragicVillain: Spent his entire life locked in a cell after his powers developed, while seeing the equally potentially destructive crown prince be spared that treatment, and serves Maximus because the latter was willing to let him be free.

969!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (first appears in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E13OneOfUs Episode 35: "One of Us"]]'' as Andrew and in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS3E1LawsOfNature Episode 45: "Laws of Nature"]]'' as Lash.)
970
971An Inhuman who appears to be hunting down other Inhumans, later revealed to be Agent May's ex-husband.
972----
973* AdaptationalHeroism: He's still a villain, but comic book Lash was a complete asshole and a SocialDarwinist with FantasticRacism toward humans and weaker Inhumans. This version is more a TragicVillain [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity whose mind is being warped by his transformation]], and has a more human and sympathetic alter-ego. He also targets Inhumans only, and does so because he sees them as a danger to humans rather than out racism. His real target, additionally, is Hive, and he dies protecting Daisy.
974* AmbiguousSituation:
975** He's apparently killed by Werner in Ward's failed attempt to get May and Hunter to let him go, but the scene is shot oddly enough that we can't actually be sure he was killed. This is clarified in "Among Us Hide"... He's not dead, in large part because he's Lash.
976** Another one rises in his being Lash. It's unclear if he has a genuine SplitPersonality or is just pretending that he does in order to avoid taking responsibility for his murders.
977** At the end of Episode 8 he is apparently gassed to death by Ward. "Maveth" reveals that he is once again not dead.
978* AmicableExes: With May. Not only he agreed to help May in regards with treating Skye, but he also attempted to contact her when the first S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen due to HYDRA's infiltration because he's worried about her. He also still gets on fabulously with May's mother, who wishes they were still married. The 'amicable' part of course gets put to the test a little bit with the reveal that he is Lash.
979* AntiVillain: Lash isn't cruel or sadistic, but he does see his actions in killing dangerous Inhumans to be necessary. Even then, he doesn't have any hatred for his victims, and is willing to spare benevolent Inhumans like Daisy. He also has no love for Hive, who was in fact Lash's ultimate target, as well as the entire reason he took out other Inhumans — to reduce Hive's potential base of thralls and power supply. When they finally fought, Lash easily defeated the ancient Inhuman and ultimately sacrificed himself to save Daisy from Hive's sway.
980* BigBadEnsemble: He serves as a secondary antagonist of Season 3 to Ward and Malick as his Inhuman murder streak is one of the main focuses of the season. He eventually gives himself up to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and even goes up against Hive, the true BigBad for Season 3.
981* ConsummateLiar: Considering that no one even suspected that he was Lash, not even his crack S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent ex-wife Melinda May he is most definitely this trope.
982* CoolTeacher: He's friendly and seems to be well liked by his students.
983* DarkSecret: He's the Inhuman-hunting Inhuman known as Lash.
984* {{Determinator}}: Lash is essentially the apex predator of the Inhumans. Everything that S.H.I.E.L.D. throws at him, including two powerful Inhumans (Daisy and Lincoln) utterly fails to stop him, and Lash himself can kill a number of Inhumans and trained soldiers with ease. He's also the ''only'' opponent in the series to actually ''scare'' Hive, and curb-stomps the ancient Inhuman in a fight.
985* DiscOneFinalBoss: Is captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. a little less than halfway through the season, and while he quickly escapes his next appearance has him turning himself in.
986* TheDreaded: Most people take one look at him and run the other way, and for good reason. Even ''Hive'' freaks out when he sees him, possibly because he instinctively understands that Lash is his natural enemy.
987* DreadlockWarrior: He has a row of dreadlock-like protrusions growing on his head and back for that savage look.
988* EvilCounterpart: Evil's probably stretching it, but Andrew's this to Cal. Both men undergo a JekyllAndHyde transformation into a hulking beast, and like Cal, he's a doctor.
989* EvilSoundsDeep: As befitting for someone of his stature, he sounds like a demon.
990* {{Foil}}: While there are a few similarities between them (powerful Inhumans whose appearances can change, who both underwent Terrigenesis against their will), Lash is pretty much the antithesis of Hive. Hive was one of the first Inhumans, while Lash is one of the most recent. Hive wants to create "the home Inhumans have always deserved" at humanity's expense while Lash wants to kill any dangerous Inhumans to protect humanity. Most of the time, [[HumanoidAbomination Hive]] looks like a normal human, while Lash is eventually stuck looking like a hulking monster. Hive suffers from a distinct LackOfEmpathy while Lash (despite appearances) still has his humanity. Hive inspires bliss in Inhumans through its sway, while Lash incites terror. Hive has an AGodAmI mentality, while Lash simply considers himself a necessary evil. Lash's powers also make him out to be the anti-Hive; in addition to being immune to Hive's sway, Lash can cure and inoculate against it. They also contrast in their attitudes towards Daisy: Hive was willing to drain all of her blood for the sake of its plans, while Lash ultimately died saving her.
991* GodzillaThreshold:
992** He's the only thing standing between Simmons and certain death when HYDRA agents are closing in on them, so she releases him.
993** May and Lincoln later send him to Daisy in Lincoln's place anticipating that it would be Hive, not Daisy, waiting for the Quinjet Lincoln sends. They correctly predict that he would try to kill Hive. He also saves Daisy as a bonus, though James kills him before he can finish Hive off.
994* HealingFactor: His body regenerates instantly when harmed. Even in his human form, he can heal from what should be fatal injuries.
995* HealingHands: He can use his abilities to extract and neutralise Hive's spores, as he does for Daisy.
996* HeroicSacrifice: He takes a flaming chain through the chest protecting Daisy from Hive's army.
997* HorrorHunger: The guy hunts Inhumans, i.e. people with superpowers. He describes feeling hungry on his skin and it doesn't go away until he kills them.
998* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He's tracking down and killing other Inhumans. It's soon revealed to be an instinctual compulsion that he has limited control over.
999* TheImmune: Lash is the only Inhuman able to NoSell Hive's sway, as well as able to cure and inoculate other Inhumans from it if he chooses (he is only shown doing it once to Daisy); it may have something to do with Lash somehow being the apex predator of Inhumans (specifically Hive).
1000* InSeriesNickname: Talbolt nicknames him "Rasta-Hulk" when he first meets Lash.
1001* InvincibleVillain: '''Nothing''' he gets hit with manages to do more than slightly irritate him and getting attacked in his human form, even if it's fatal, will just result in him transforming. James put an end to this.
1002* JekyllAndHyde: He's a kind doctor who turns into a murderous monster.
1003* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: So called verbatim by Lincoln when he claims that he only kills Inhumans who deserve it. He's right, he doesn't simply kill Inhumans without cause, and his ultimate target is Hive.
1004* TheJuggernaut: An unstoppable killing machine and one of the most powerful Inhumans S.H.I.E.L.D. has encountered yet. He can shrug off both Daisy and Lincoln's powers, ICER rounds, and bullets. Shooting him will only make him angrier. He's also the first opponent to both frighten and overpower Hive, and would likely have killed it if he hadn't stopped to help Daisy. He's only killed when caught off-guard and impaled from behind.
1005* KarmicDeath: After killing so many people by putting a hole in their chests, it somewhat comes off as karmic justice when James disposes of him in the same way.
1006* MaskOfSanity: Developed AGodAmI when he became Lash, but did a very good job of hiding it, until May discovered his secret.
1007* NamedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, he's known only as Lash. In the show, he's given the real name Andrew Garner.
1008* NecessarilyEvil: Sees himself as this in his putting down of other Inhumans, denying Frye's claims that he is [[MercyKill mercy killing]] them. "I'm not merciful; I'm necessary." He turns out to be right about the "necessary" part.
1009* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: His ability to extract Hive's spores is unexpected to say the least, as was the fact that he could immunize people from Hive's infection.
1010* NiceGuy: In his human form, he sympathizes with gifted individuals and doesn't approve on how S.H.I.E.L.D. treats them like time bombs instead of people. This is in stark contrast to his inhuman form.
1011* NighInvulnerable: He gets hit with the combined might of Daisy and Lincoln's powers and keeps on coming. A full magzine from Mack's pistol held him off for a bit, but he merely retreated and came back healed. Though a single blast from Daisy does knock him off his feet when he's not prepared for it. It later turns out that this even applies to his human form.
1012* NoSell: Is able to shrug off a combined blast from both [[BadVibrations Daisy]] and [[ShockAndAwe Lincoln]]. ICER rounds don't even faze him. Hive's attempt to either sway or destroy him was similarly ineffective.
1013* ObliviouslyEvil: He clearly doesn't understand that what he's doing can be considered as bad as he believes his targets to be.
1014* ObviouslyEvil: He looks and [[EvilSoundsDeep sounds]] like a demon, and he's a serial killer (of Inhumans).
1015* PainfulTransformation: Just like the Hulk, Lash transforms into his human self in an apparently painful manner, not least of which is the dreadlocks growing out of his head and down his back, as well as his skull changing and creating the ridges on his forehead. Also like the Hulk, he is apparently able to do so at will, but when in danger or stressed he can't control it.
1016* PayEvilUntoEvil: His intention towards the "evil" Inhumans is to hunt them down and kill them. What is defined as "evil"? First and foremost the potential to be dangerous, but also, and more importantly as it so happens, any threat to Daisy, as both Hive and his Primitives learn the hard way.
1017* PetTheDog:
1018** He likes Daisy and with the exception of Frye, she's the only Inhuman he doesn't try to kill, despite the fact that with her S.H.I.E.L.D. training, hacking abilities and considerable powers, she's probably the biggest threat to him.
1019** He also swears he wouldn't hurt Joey, though it's clear that he's tempted.
1020* TheReveal: At the end of 'Among Us Hide'.
1021* ScarilyCompetentTracker: Lash beat both S.H.I.E.L.D. and ATCU to dozens of emergent Inhumans, with Joey being the first one he wasn't able to get to first. He also managed to track down Lincoln, an established Inhuman in hiding who wasn't displaying any of the PowerIncontinence that's a typical red flag for Inhuman activity. It's later revealed that he has an informant from the Social Security Administration feeding him locations, though it doesn't explain how he's getting the names. It's actually because he finds their locations along with S.H.I.E.L.D. as his civilian identity, Dr. Andrew Garner. The names come from Jiayang's genealogy ledger.
1022* {{Shapeshifter}}: Daisy sees his shadow shift to human form, which would explain how a big, hulking warrior can move about without being immediately reported. However Lincoln says that no Inhuman can shapeshift and that he's just going through a prolonged period of Terrigenesis and when it's finished he won't be able to become human anymore.
1023* TheShrink:
1024** He is a Neurologist and Forensic Psychologist who specialized in working with gifted individuals.
1025** In Season 3, he's in charge of evaluating new Inhumans for the Secret Warriors, leaving Daisy frustrated when he finds reasons to reject every one she brings in. As of 'Among Us Hide' and the reveal that he's Lash, it's likely that he's doing this to forestall the development of a team that could effectively oppose him on his own level.
1026* SuperStrength: Able to NeckLift people and literally OneHitKill riot gear armoured officers.
1027* SummonBiggerFish: The heroes send him to deal with the otherwise NighInvulnerable Hive.
1028* ThatManIsDead: Lash completely takes over in "Spacetime".
1029* TouchOfDeath: He's able to generate energy from his hands that can melt a hole through a person or vaporize a wall in seconds.
1030* WellIntentionedExtremist: After what happened in Bahrain, he doesn't want a repeat and seeks out Inhumans to put down as soon as he's awakened. At least, that is what he tells himself.
1031* TheWorfEffect: He's killed from behind by James's red hot chain through his throat, despite being bulletproof and able to NoSell Daisy and Lincoln's powers in earlier episodes. This implies that James packs a bigger punch than either of them.

1081* AlmostDeadGuy: His throat is crushed by Malick, but he manages to have a conversation with Daisy before expiring.
1082* BlessedWithSuck: Every time Charles touches someone, he and the other person both have a vision of an unpreventable death in the near future. Charles has no control over this, and the traumatic visions he would accidentally inflict on anyone he touched (including his own wife and daughter) led to him exiling himself.
1083* SmallRoleBigImpact: Aside from his visions foreshadowing the ending to Season 3, Charles is this by virtue of his daughter playing a huge role in the events of Season 5.

1140Charles Hinton's daughter, an Inhuman with the power of precognition. She expresses her visions through artwork.
1141----
1142* CasualDangerDialogue: She is utterly calm in dangerous situations, such as a plane crash, because from her perspective, they've already survived it.
1143* CreepyChild: Downplayed, but Robin gets so lost in her visions that she occasionally can't recognize her own mother. It's explained as a combination of her powers and going through Terrigenesis at a young age having an effect on her mind.
1144* CreepyGood: Seems determined to help stop the BadFuture through her intermittent predictions, warning Fitz, Hunter and Enoch about the approaching soldiers and telling Fitz that he was left behind in order to save his friends.
1145* HappilyAdopted: By Melinda May. Though she doesn't always understand, May takes Robin's rather unsettling powers in her stride. Robin even calls her Mom.
1146* LivingMacguffin: Lots of people seek her in order to exploit her clairvoyance.
1147* NecessaryDrawback: She knows exactly what Team Coulson needs to do in order to avoid the BadFuture, but she's so lost in her visions that she can't give them timely or clearly spoken advice. For instance, she told them how important Flint would be forty years before he was born. The best she can do is draw pictures.
1148* NonLinearCharacter: The past, present, and future tend to blend together for her.
1149* PowerIncontinence: She has no control over her powers, which means she is watching the past, present and future unfold around her at all times.
1150* {{Seers}}: Her powers cause her to experience visions of the past, present, and future, which she expresses through art. This trope is invoked quite literally by Enoch, who refers to Robin as "The Seer".
1151* SheKnowsTooMuch: Her old future self is killed by Sam to prevent her from telling Team Coulson something that would cause them to go back in time and destroy the Earth. She is still alive at the end of Season 5 because the BadFuture she was killed in doesn't happen.
1152* TheSlowPath: Like Enoch, and unlike Team Coulson, Robin simply lived out the years between the present day and the Lighthouse timeline normally. Unlike Enoch, however, Robin aged ''[[TimeShiftedActor considerably]]'' during that time.
1153* TimeShiftedActor: Is played by Lexy Kolker in the present, Ava Kolker in scenes set [[NextSundayAD in 2022]], and Willow Hale in the Lighthouse timeline.
1154* TragicKeepsake: She keeps the hand-carved wooden robin that her father made close at hand.

1186* SlaveMooks: The Inhuman virus comes packaged with Hive's spores, so anyone converted is automatically slaved to his will.
1187* TheSpeechless: They have not demonstrated any capacity for human speech, though they seem to still fully understand what others are saying.
1188* SuperStrength: They're strong enough to break out of handcuffs and snap chains on a cargo crate, though they're weaker than Lash. Radcliffe describes them as having peak-human strength through adrenaline.
