Inhuman – AXIS | Comics

Though most of the world thought that Black Bolt; king of The Inhumans has died fighting The Mad Titan; Thanos, he and his insane brother Maximus the Mad were actually busy taking care of some secret business with New Avengers (Time Runs Out). Maximus taunts his brother by keeping him locked up in a hotel room in New York from where they can see New Attilan on Hudson River. He brings two ladies he picked up from bar to introduce with his brother, King Black Bolt but when they saw him, they ran off scared.

Losing their home after Thanos's invasion on Earth, Medusa is now the ruler of remaining Inhumans on New Attilan. A former police officer turned Nuhuman, Nur and an old member of Attilan security force, Auran is summoned and tasked by Queen Medusa to locate her husband after she took a short interview of their new security recruit. The duo eventually discovers the Boltagon brothers in a nightclub and tries to bring them in but Maximus soon turned the table by making Black Bolt unleashing his powerful voice on them.

Knowing what Black Bolt is capable of, Auran quickly pushed Nur away seconds before being vaporized by quasi-sonic energy. Losing his partner defending his life, Nur returns to Attilan and angrily delivers Gorgon and Medusa news of their encounter with her husband as well as his maniacal brother Maximus at Tribeca, New York. Gorgon, Inferno and Nur prepare to go looking for them again with help from Eldrac the Door. Though Gorgon was seemingly unsuccessful convincing Eldrac but Nur eventually made him listen to them.

Reaching Himalayas, they found Maximus and Black Bolt but only to tremble before the latter's earth shattering voice as they tried to apprehend. All three of them were struggling with their lives when Maximus was making his brother scream again and again. However, the encounter doesn't end well for Maximus but worked out fine for Black Bolt in the end anyway. Inferno and Nur argues whether to take him back or not but Gorgon reminds them that Black Bolt is a King and they cannot take him back if he didn't wish to return.

Meanwhile, Inhuman Reader and his powerful new recruit from China, Xiaoyi struggle to get back home from clutches of Ennilux Corporation. New Attilan sees an all-new Medusa on the funeral of Inhuman Royal Family medical regent, as a result of "Inversion Spell". She went to the general assembly of the United Nations infuriated and made a scene, which led her to a brief clash with Spider-Man. Then when she went out in civilian attire to re-discover herself apart from being a Queen, New Attilan fell under attack from Ennilux.

Inhuman – AXIS

Serving as a tie-in storyline of "AXIS" crossover event, this one is the second arc from Inhuhman monthly ongoing series, collecting issues #07-11. The story is plotted by writer Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine – The Logan Legacy, Death of Wolverine – The Weapon X Program) while artist Pepe Larraz (Avengers – Rage of Ultron, Spider Island – The Amazing Spider-Girl) and Ryan Stegman (Fantastic Four, Scarlet Spider) contributed to cover and interior arts of the story for Marvel Comics in 2015. As aftermath of 'Infinity' crossover event led to a lot of change in Marvel Universe, there is a new threat on the horizon and it is Red Skull's "World War Hate".

Plus, the secret adventures of Boltagon brothers with Illuminati to save Earth from incursions before "Time Runs Out" were hinted. Another trouble forms when Inhuman freelancer Reader took a job from Ennilux corporation about delivering a very powerful Nuhuman named Xiaoyi but ended up saving her from the corporation and their sinister leader Capo. Though this plotline has not directly influenced any major occurrences of "AXIS", it sure helped pave a new direction for Inhomo Supremis. Inhumans were just about to start their journey in human world and then suddenly the moral axis of their Queen Medusa being changed affected many things, leading to the next story-arc "Lineage".

Secret Invasion – Inhumans | Comics

Black Bolt is revealed to be a Skrull and Queen Medusa set out to find former king of Inhumans alongside Royal Family members.

To a group of young Inhumans, story of Kree-Skrull War and a tale of enmity between those alien races were being told by Karnak. Whereas Skrulls were blessed with evolution, Kree couldn't evolve any further and therefore set to experiment that gave birth to their race and they have strength of family bond that makes them strong.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark reaches out to Queen Medusa and her cousin Crystal to show them the Skrull corpse that was posing as Black Bolt. He admits that even he couldn't tell who it was and she angrily states that she is aware of secret meetings on Earth her husband frequently attends to but none is sure when he was switched.

Iron Man urges her that they all should prepare to fight a great looming threat but she simply walks away with the corpse. On Attilan, she presents it in front of Genetics Council and declares that they all are at war. She wants to bring her husband back at once but his brother Maximus suggests that Skrulls have most likely killed him.

This news didn't sit well with many, particularly with Gorgon who thinks Karnak could be an imposter as he sees things for what they truly are and he somehow couldn't detect these shape-shifting aliens among them. However, it took a little bit of convincing from Triton for him to eventually calm down and let his cousin go.

That night, Medusa saw a shadow in her quarters that she thought to be Blackagar Boltagon but turns out to be a Skrull. She takes down her attacker and subjected him to vicious torture in Terrigen chambers for answers. More of their sleeper agents start attacking Attilan and their populace only to meet with serious resistance.

Medusa then leads a cavalry of Crystal, Gorgon, Karnak, Lockjaw and Triton into space to rescue her husband. Leaving their people to fend themselves, members of Royal Family heads to uncharted territory and arrives at Kree space. Medusa asks for help from Ronan the Accuser to find Blackagar but he is reluctant for an alliance.

Since they already lost to Skrulls, he is less interest in helping them but agrees to help them on condition of Crystal becoming his bride. Inhuman Queen accepts his terms despite objections from her sister. Karnak managed to work out a crack in Skrull communications and asks his family to split up in order to exploit its weaknesses.

Crystal and Medusa visits Earth to get a Skrull captive from Thundra but ended up fighting each other over their differences. Gorgon and Karnak are sent to Rigel 3 for retrieving a recording android to get necessary algorithm. Triton goes to watery planet Pelagia to find a secret beacon and also tackle an entire legion of its inhabitants.

Elsewhere in deep space, a wounded Black Bolt appears to be in captivity and a Skrull scientist working on using his powerful voice as a weapon for Skrull Empire. To learn more of his powers and invoke emotion within him, they reveal capturing his son Ahura as well, who is under care of a Skrull with powers of Emma Frost and Jean Grey.

His handler tries to locate what makes his emotion click and finds it in his queen who has been living with Black Bolt impostor. Held aboard warship Ryb'ik, Blackagar is being readied up to use his voice to destroy Attilan with a giant amplifier device.

Secret Invasion – Inhumans

With "Secret Invasion" crossover event taking over Marvel Universe, even Inhumans are not left out from taking part and a four-part limited series is conceived by writer Joe Pokaski (Ultimatum – March On Ultimatum, Ultimatum – X-Men/Fantastic Four) and artist Tom Raney (Black Widow – Deadly Origin, Dark Reign – Hawkeye).

Though Inhumans typically stay out of Earthly affairs but Skrulls have reached for them directly and replaced their leader Black Bolt. They had a plan to use him as a weapon to destroy his own people and then possibly against heroes of Earth.

Sometime after events of "Silent War", Blackagar was taken captive by an ambush when he was going to meet his friends in Illuminati and is replaced by an imposter. Then Hulk returned from his exile in space and attacked him. "World War Hulk" almost blew up cover of his replacement but it survived and become very close to Medusa.

For long, Black Bolt impersonator would not reveal its true self to anyone and play along until Iron Man would bring corpse of Elektra-Skrull to show off fellow Illuminati members (New Avengers – Illuminati). Although it took some efforts from the heroes but they successfully managed to kill it by impaling on a giant slab of rock.

Black Bolt | Comics

An Inhuman descendant of the Royal Family, Blackagar Boltagon is the king and the leader of their race. When his mother was pregnant, he was exposed to Terrigen Mist and that gave him a destructive voice that projects quasi-sonic energy capable of leveling mountains. He was contained in a chamber and wore an energy-harnessing suit until he was allowed to enter the society at nineteen.

His brother Maximus was involved in a conspiracy with the alien Kree and his forbidden voice crashed the Kree ship on the Council of Genetics, killing many along with his parents and caused Maximus's insanity, yet he was forced to take the leadership mantle. His rule and race was troubled by the intervention of humans and they were forced to move from Attilan to Himalayan Mountains.

In the middle of Kree-Skrull War, Black Bolt was assisted by Fantastic Four to find his betrothed Medusa and later by The Avengers to thwart Maximus. At the end of that war, he joined The Illuminati along with Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Professor X and Namor. Their visit to Skrull homeworld led to the Skrull Invasion years later and then to War of Kings and Realm of Kings.

He also struggled when he and Medusa had a child named Ahura against the wish of the Genetic Council as his bloodline should not be passed on. His biggest challenge was when Black Bolt went against Thanos and detonated a Terrigen Bomb to usher a new age of Inhumanity. He went underground during the Infinity event while Medusa ruled The Inhumans as their queen.

Created by Stan Lee (Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America) and Jack Kirby (Black Panther, Eternals), The Inhuman King Black Bolt is a fictional character of Marvel Comics, who is literally the “Strong and Silent” type, made his debut on the pages of Fantastic Four #45, in 1965. Aside from being the key character of many storylines involving the Inhumans, Black Bolt was also a part of The Evolutionary War, Onslaught Saga, Heroes Reborn, Silent War, House of M, Son of M, World War Hulk and many other great stories.

The King's Lieges

He once even became the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire by defeating Ronan and holds possession of the "Reality Gem" as a member of The Illuminati. Though he went missing after his fight with Thanos, the aftermath of his Terrigen Bomb explosion have not only jump-started a new era for his race but also seem to effect the Mutant community as well as many of the X-Men members with M-Pox. Actor Vin Diesel is very much likely to portray the character of Black Bolt in the 2018’s upcoming live-action Inhumans movie.
