In order to become king by prolonging Black Bolts exile, Maximus shoots him with a nervebeam, hoping to induce his brother to scream.

“The Origin of... the Incomparable Inhumans”

Many ages ago, when the dinosaurs were beginning to vanish and the Homo sapiens began to emerge, there was a race who seemed to defy the slow evolution of human kind. This small civilization created an hidden haven for themselves called the city of Attilan, where the population was dedicated to one goal only: human knowledge. The greatest discovery made was the terrogen mist, able to erase the basic weakness of man, allowing to become more than just human. Randac, the monarch of Attilan, will be the first to brave the terrogen mist, becoming the first ancestor of the Inhumans.
