Karnak has been one of the best thing to come out of Marvel ’s current wave of Inhumans - hype . Even over just a few publication it ’s developed the badass Inhuman magister as an unstoppable power ofbone - crunching , precise destruction — but Karnak ’s late standout moment is one of the craziest things he ’s ever done .
Spoilers ahead for Karnak # 3 by Warren Ellis , Roland Boschi , Dan Brown , and Clayton Cowles — and a admonition , there ’s one finical jury that might be a tad NSFW for gore . Discretion is notify , and all that .
So like I enounce , Karnak ’s power to find the fault in all thing — from the flaws in a way a door is made , so hecan smash it into splintersand fling said splinters into the expression of a team of armed men , tothe flaw in someone ’s existencejust to explode their insides with a contact — has made him this visceral , awe-inspiring military force of nature in this new series . Between Gerardo Zaffino ’s prowess over the first two number , and Roland Boschi break forward from this third issue , Karnak has bring forth some of the most beautiful action scene I ’ve ever seen in a comic , and Ellis clearly has a great deal of fun in write crazy legal action where Karnak ’s power is drive to its most terrifying extreme .
But the climax of today ’s third issue just takes the cake in term of just how far Karnak can take his flaw - spotting action . On the hunt of an Inhuman son kidnapped by a deep cult that believes him to be their messiah , Karnak and his SHIELD friend get themselves under attack by a sea of mechanical man brute guarding the cult ’s headquarters , emitting a bizarre dissonance that allows them to nail beams of vigour at SHIELD ’s helicarrier .
Karnak , being the sorting of person he is , is completely ok with the creatures nearly bringing the ship down while he listen to the unusual “ song ” they breathe , before calmly require a SHIELD technician if he can adopt the Helicarrier ’s P.A. system for a moment . After soften — because you do n’t say no to Karnak — the Inhuman simply shouts an utterance represented by a black speech house of cards into the microphone :
And that fiddling black speech bubble makes this bechance :
Yup . Karnak can just explode the heads of hundred of multitude with a single command .
on the face of it , being able to see the flaw in everything let you see a flaw in the very transmission of sound itself — so Karnak station out a frequency that exploited that flaw in a rather explosive manner . It ’s idiotic , and more than a small horrifying , and it ’s almost puerile in its awesomeness . What ’s to stop this guy from doing anything at this point ? Karnak seems like the variety of mortal who could botch up the heads off everyone on the planet — LITERALLY — for shit and giggle , but determine to keep the human race around as an idle toy .

I ’ve said it before , but I ’ll say it again ; in this sea of Inhuman story trying to get lecturer to go for them , present one who is so obscenely brawny and petrifying andjust does not careabout being accepted by anyone is fascinating to read . particularly when he caps off his principal - popping display with a counter like this :
Damn , Karnak .
