- Domestic Metahumans: Even without using the Terrigen Mist, the modifications, combined with centuries of selective breeding, have given all inhumans certain advantages. Their average lifespan is 150 years, and an inhuman in good physical condition possesses strength, reaction time, speed, and endurance that are all superior to the finest of human athletes.
- History: Attilan is a country in Northwest Europe, and one of the world's only island city-states. Secluded from the rest of humanity, they went on to develop advanced technology and form a society of their own. Experiments with the mutagenic Terrigen Mist, a process known as Terrigenesis, gives them a variety of powers, but causes lasting genetic damage, and deformities. This led to a long-term selective breeding program in an attempt to mitigate the effects of these mutations. Attilan's society and culture are predicated on a conformist belief system, which permits individuality as it applies to genetic development and physical and mental ability, but demands rigid conformity in that each member of society is assigned a place within that society, according to their abilities following exposure to the Terrigen Mist. Once assigned, no Inhuman, no matter how great or powerful, can change their place within this rigid caste system.
