With their various powers and abilities, one must wonder how the Inhumans came to be. The origin of the species “Inhomo Supremis” dates back thousands of years, during the beginning of the seemingly never-ending galactic war between the Kree and the shape-shifting Skrull.

With these two waring alien races going head to head, the Kree created a base of operations on Uranus, located between Kree and Skrull bases. The Kree began to experiment with primitive homo sapiens, in the hopes of creating a race that can help them turn the tide against the Skrull. After years of experimentation the Kree left the affected humans on Earth, and the Inhuman race was born.

The Inhumans were always intended to be used as weapons. Years of Kree experimentation gave the Inhumans the abilities and appearances of different alien species, with the Kree hoping to use their Inhuman army as spies to take down cosmic threats like the Skrull.

This was made clear when Ronan The Accuser, judicial officer of the Kree, used Inhumans for his own political gain. Although the Inhumans govern themselves now, their origins say a lot about the lengths the Kree will go to win a war.
