"It's a very different twist on the superhero genre in the sense that they're not really superheroes that are going out to save humanity and help against evil baddies," explained Iwan Rheon. "They're a race of people that have been living completely separate on the moon away from the world. They don't want anything to do with humans, and they're hiding from them essentially. We pick up the story with the sort of threat of them [humans and Inhumans] meeting, and how that will pan out through the series is very interesting. The two worlds sort of start colliding and it's a very interesting sort of dynamic in how two segregated groups sort of interact and how then you integrate them."Added Mount, "I don't think a television can exist purely in the white hat/black hat paradigm that a lot of graphic novels exist in. Although The Inhumans has been about smudging those lines more than a lot of others. ... One thing is that I like how their 'powers' are, I don't really look at them as powers. I look at them as handicaps. I look at them as sometimes burdens. I think that that endears us to them as well."
