Black Bolt Sidelined the Inhumans From Marvel With Just One Scream
One of Black Bolt's deadliest and most tragic screams ended up being the final nail in the coffin for the Inhumans at Marvel Comics. In Death of the Inhumans #5 by Marvel Comics, the writing was on the wall as Marvel intended to move on from the alien heroes as prominent players in their stories after the rights to the X-Men were reacquired by Marvel Studios. In their last series as a team, Black Bolt was forced to kill some of his Inhuman allies, which ended up being a strange send-off for the group of heroes.
The Inhumans are one of Marvel's oldest superteams, as the Inhuman Royal Family debuted in the pages of Fantastic Four by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The group made regular appearances alongside Marvel's First Family, with the likes of Black Bolt, Medusa, Lockjaw, Karnak, and Crystal playing small but important roles in the Fantastic Four's adventures.

However, the Inhumans were again pushed down the totem pole after a failed Inhumans live-action series and the movie rights of the X-Men returning (allowing them to start doing more X-stories) capped off with Death of the Inhumans from Marvel Comics.
