	Which member of the royal family is your fave?

	Quicksilver is not an Inhuman...although he is a member of the royal family by marriage. But I voted Medusa because I liked her original appearances as a villainess before they "ret-conned" her into an Inhuman.

	Out of all the various comic book characters, only one inspired a rock star. Gene Simmons of KISS stole the look of Black Bolt ( He admitted it!). So top that, Karnak!

	Black Bolt and Medusa are the only Inhumans I'm familiar with, and I like 'em both! I especially liked World War Hulk where Hulk kicked Black Bolt's hiney!

So top that, Karnak! False. Elvis Presley modeled his hairdo and clothing on Captain Marvel Jr., especially in the '70s with his Captain Marvel cape and TCB lightning bolts. ToP that!

	Lockjaw. A giant space dog with antenna who can teleport. Da bomb

	I read somewhere that Lockjaw isn't a dog at all, just an Inhuman who looks like one.

	Cool drawing of Crystal and Lockjaw, by the way. She must use the same hair products as Harry Osborne.

There was an issue of The Thing where Thing and Crystal were trying to prevent Quicksilver from exposing Luna to Terrigen mists to grant her powers. Quicksilver remarks that "anything" would be better than to have a child who was merely human, at which point Lockjaw replies, "Anything, Pietro? Even me?", revealing that he was not, in fact, a dog but a mutated human. Quicksilver relented. They later retconned it away by indicating that it was merely a trick of ventriloquism, a practical joke carried out by Gorgon and Karnak (ignoring how completely inappropriate it would have been for them to pull a joke at that point in the story, and that Karnak seems to lack a sense of humor). Black Bolt has always been my favorite, although Karnak places a close second.

	Turning that into a joke makes no sense. Man, how I hate "ret-cons." I wish writers would just respect what went before even if they didn't like it. You can always ignore stories you thought were lame or not use characters you don't care for.

	I'm with to you, Matt. Keep your reconsider to yourself. If the book was good enough to last this long, there is simply no reason to mess with it. I get the change in audience, so introduce new characters or new books. Leave the silver and bronze age stories alone I can't keep up anymore..

	Just like they reconnect the alpha primitives out. Remember the Inhumans had a race of slaves?

Here's an interesting blog post about the discussion. I for one am of the camp that the issue of Thing when Lockjaw spoke was in fact accurate and that the X-Factor retelling was inaccurate. http://zak-site.com/Great-American-Novel/lockjaw_talks.html

	I finally voted for someone that no one else did, Gorgon! I always loved that character for some odd reason.

	I went with Black Bolt, though arguably my favorite appearance of him was when he was getting his head handed to him by the Hulk in World War Hulk. Plus, bonus points for laziest name EVAH! Blackagar Boltagon?!?!?
