Marvel's Inhumans: Does Maximus Actually Have His Comic Book Inhuman Powers or Not?
Inhumans recently debuted on ABC, kicking off an intense battle between two clans of Inhumans fighting over control of Attilan. Black Bolt and his sect of the Royal Family are expected to make a stand on Earth, while they attempt to regain control of Attilan from its new ruler, Maximus. He overthrew Black Bolt's regime in a cleverly planned coup that saw most of his fellow Royal Family dropped and left on an island in Hawaii. It seems he accomplished everything without the use of any Inhuman powers—or did he? The television depiction of Maximus doesn't appear to have any Inhuman powers like his comic counterpart, but there may be something boiling underneath the surface that we've yet to understand.
