Badass sez yes, though the source their quoting I can't make heads nor tails of...
Originally part of the extended "Fantastic Four" family, "The Inhumans" were sort of a dry run at the big-idea cosmic stuff that'd later be such a big part of the Marvel cosmology. They're a whole hidden race of superhumans of various powers and abilities, the result of alien experiments on early humans creating a seperate, super-evolved strain. In a lot of ways they also seem like any early stab at the X-Men - their King is a guy named Black Bolt who never speaks, because his voice is so loud that even a whisper can level a city. My favorite Inhuman is "Lockjaw," a bulldog the size of a small car that can teleport. Really.
This sounds really fishy to me - The Inhumans have never been especially popular, and the pitch is really, really out-there (Badass has an anonymous quote implying that they'd be retooled into something a bit more traditionally-superheroic, which would be a bummer) but you never know. FWIW, their origin is tied to aliens called Kree, who're the nemesis of suspected "Avengers"-heavies The Skrulls.
