Okay, I don't want to half-ass this, so I'm going to ask a series of questions.

1. If a normal-looking Inhuman woman, for example, marries a normal man, is there a possibility that their child is born as a monstrous inhuman? I know there are genetic 'castes' among the inhumans and I wasn't sure if monstrous deformities could come from the offspring of 'purer' lineages.

2. Conversely, if a very tolerant, very body-positive man marries a 'lower' caste inhuman woman with monstrous deformities, then I assume their child will likely have monstrous deformities too. Would the child's deformities have to match the mothers?

3. I assume that in the age where the majority of the population has superpowers, mutants and inhumans are no longer shunned, and are welcome in broader society. Is this true?

4. Since Terrigen Mist can have such an irreversible effect on Inhumans (and depowered mutants, apparently), and there are a lot of inhumans and mutants mingling in the world population (assuming question 3 is true), then Terrigen Mist would be a highly controlled substance right? I ask this because I don't want to have a cop-out origin story where my character has a random 'whoops! exposure to Terrigen Mist!' moment, and bam! suddenly has deformities and powers.

With the answers to most of these questions, I can hopefully massage the character's origin/history into something that is acceptable.

@Stern Algorithm I'm not a GM obviously, but I'll share some info I have involving Inhumans in canon Marvel.

Marvel seems to define Inhunan Hybrids as either the offspring of a single Inhuman parent and those with Inhuman lineage (ancestors, uncles, grandparents, etc.). The vast majority that I have briefly looked at appear human after being exposed to the mists. Luna Maximoff, Daisy Johnson/Quake and Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel are good examples of this. But, there are a few that appear less human such as Gordon Nobili/Lineage.
