Blackagar
Boltagon's parents were two of Attilan's top geneticists: Agon, head of
the ruling Council of Genetics, and Rynda, director of the Prenatal Care
Center. Subjected to the mutagenic Terrigen Mists while still an
embryo, he was born with strange powers surpassing the norm of other
Inhumans. As an infant, he demonstrated certain energy-manipulation
abilities he could not yet control, particularly a sonic force of great
destructive potential. To protect the community, he was placed
inside a soundproof chamber and forced to wear an energy-harnessing suit
until reaching maturity.
A month after being awarded his
freedom, Boltagon discovered his younger brother
Maximus was conspiring a
treacherous pact with emissaries of the alien Kree. Attempting to
stop the Kree ship from escaping, he used the forbidden power of his
quasi-sonic voice to knock the craft out of the sky. The vessel
crashed into Attilan's parliament building, killing several key members of
the Council of Genetics - including Boltagon's parents. The
reverberations of his shout damaged Maximus brain affected his sanity and
suppressing his nascent mental abilities, rendering him powerless.
Despite his silent protest, Boltagon was obligated to accept the mantel of
leadership of Attilan as the Inhuman sovereign
Black Bolt. |
