'''Capsule:''' Crystal is a princess of the Inhumans, a genetic offshoot of mankind that lives in the hidden city of Attilan. Each inhuman possess a superpower derived from exposure to a mutagenic known as the Terrigen Mist. Crystal has the power to control the four classical elements: air, earth, fire, and water.

From all the Inhumans, Crystal is perhaps the one with the most experience in the world of mankind. She had long stints as a member of both the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. 

Crystal also has a somewhat complicated love life. Her first great love was Johnny Storm, the [[Human Torch]] from the Fantastic Four. They parted when Crystal married the Avenger [[Quicksilver]] instead. She and Pietro have had a very turbulent marriage, and Crystal had at least two affairs, one of them with the also Avenger [[Black Knight]].
