Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Karnak Mander-Azur, best known mononymously as Karnak, is a Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in Fantastic Four #45 (dated December 1965).Born to an Inhuman priest and his ocean biologist wife, Karnak is one of very few Inhumans who weren't exposed to Terrigen Mist as an adolescent. After his brother, Triton, was left unable to live outside of water because of his Terrigenesis, Karnak's parents pleaded with the Genetic Council to prevent their other son from meeting a similar fate.As such, he was sent to his father's monastery, where he became skilled in martial arts and developed an ability to sense the weakest point in any given object or person. According to the time-displaced Jean Grey, he's the most dangerous of all Inhumans.In the following years, he'd become further immersed in the greater Marvel Universe, often in the context of the Fantastic Four. After Terrigen Mist was unleashed onto Earth by his cousin Black Bolt, Karnak killed himself by jumping off of Stark Tower, citing his realization of "the fault in all things" as the main reason. But since death is cheap, he returned from the dead a few years later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Following the Inhuman-Mutant War, Karnak (as well as his cousin, Ahura) elected to stay on Earth while the rest of the royal family returned to space. During this time, he was recruited to join Daisy Johnson's new Secret Warriors, working to protect Earth's Inhuman population from outside threats to their kind.Karnak made his live-action debut on the ABC television series Inhumans, portrayed there by Ken Leung. This version of the character largely resembles his comic book counterpart, with the exception that he was actually put through Terrigenesis as a youth, instead of developing his abilities through rigorous training and meditation.Not to be confused with Carnac the Magnificent.

comment
Glowing Eyes: On and off with him, usually his eyes are featureless with only rare instances of his pupils or irises and that's usually without his mask, seems after his new lease on life that this has become the norm for him. Made all the more terrifying when he's fighting dozens of enemies at once, or when he's verbally deconstructing desperate people seeking help or feverish faith seekers who are enwrapped in false faith.

comment
Logical Weakness: Karnak can analyse and determine an opponent's weakness, but this does require him being able to utilize this information. So knowing the weaknesses of a telepath isn't much help when they can just knock him out without lifting a finger. He also needs to see to evaluate a weakness.

Took a Level in Jerkass: A surprising (if not typical) twist stemming from his resurrection, is that he took to demoralizing a desperate family whose son had undergone Terrigenesis was abducted by another A.I.M offshot. All to simply teach that possessions are fleeting and using compassion as a cheap painkiller doesn't lessen the brutality of the world.

Inferiority Superiority Complex
 Karnak (Comic Book) / int_a7ba94de
comment
Inferiority Superiority Complex: A Hannibal Lecture of the nameless painter cultist in issue 5 of his solo series dismantles him and his worldview; His parents refusing him Terrigenesis as an infant because of what happened to Triton and sending him to the monastery has given him a complex. His Straw Nihilist attitude is because he wants to be special but has internalized from his parents' decision and the teachings of the monastery a desire to stay normal with the belief he's perfect the way he is but the cognitive dissonance makes him tears down others, whether they are actually special or believe themselves to be, because in fact what's special about him is taught and not unique. Essentially he's too afraid to decide for himself to undergo terrigenesis, rationalizes it to himself, and lashes out at everyone from the stress.

Came Back Wrong: Played with, as Karnak was initially a soft spoken individual who really didn't care about social interaction (even amongst his own) let alone with other species. He was normally formal and courteous to others even while in combat usually refraining from killing even adversaries, but after his recent break from the hereafter its a possibility that he returned to life somewhat damaged at his core.
