The Marvel’s Inhumans Trailer is Here, We’ll Let You be the Judge

Fans have been wondering if an ABC budget would be enough to support the special effects and amazing visuals that the Inhumans are supposed to have.

Well, now we have our first look and official trailer for the TV series, and it looks a little off.

First look:

In this first official poster, we get our first look into our main characters:

In the middle, Black Bolt (Anson Mount), king of the Inhumans. While he’s missing his head piece from the comics, his costume looks very accurate overall. Black Bolt’s greatest superpower is his voice. If he speaks, he could destroy a city with his voice, and he can’t control it, which makes him pretty much a mute character.

To his right, we can see Medusa (Serinda Swan), Black Bolt’s partner, and while they got the outfit right, Medusa is supposed to have huge moving hair that makes her deadly. In this image, her hair looks rather calm and perfectly combed.

To Black Bolt’s left, we have Karnak (Ken Leung), who’s a master strategist and a genius who can detect weak points to destroy his oponents. Now, Karnak is supposed to have a super brain, but the face tattoos are a very close appoximation.

Besides Karnak, we also have Gorgon (Eme Ikwulakor), the military leader for the Ihumans. Gorgon has hooves and a superhuman strenght.

Next is Medusa’s sister, Crystal (Isabelle Cornish) who’s standing to her right. Her power set is she can manipulate the four elements with her mind. Now, her costume looks a little off, but the hair is the most accurate, with the black stripes.

Last, but not least, we have Maximus (Iwan Rheon from Game of Thrones). He’s Black Bolt’s evil brother, who’s always plotting to overthrow him. He’s a super genius and a telepath. He can control, numb and erase someone’s mind.
