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 has been a member of 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. Later she married the Avenger Quicksilver. 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.
