Inhuman of The Day
October 11th - Swain
A latent Inhuman named Jovanna whose transformation was caused by exposure to the Terrigen Cloud. Terrigenesis endowed Swain with psychic powers that enables her to read and control the emotions of others. The transformation also left Swain with a reptilian-like tail.
Following her transformation, Swain accepted the invitation of asylum of New Attilan. She was made the captain of the Royal Inhuman Vessel (or RIV), an enormous flying fortress that circumnavigates the globe following the Terrigen Cloud. Swain’s central role aboard the RIV is to use her empathic powers so to maintain the wellbeing of Hub, the new Inhuman who was transformed into a powerful dynamo of unlimited energy. Hub’s energies power the RIV, yet his transformation has caused him great pain and emotional duress. Swain has used her powers to help Hub feel in control of his anxiety and the process of powering The RIV acts to quell his pain.
Swain is especially good natured and seems to be very excited over her new life as an Inhuman. She is very fond of the sense of aristocracy in the Royal Family of old Attilan. She enjoys referring to Crystal as ‘Princess Crystal’ even though the title is something that causes Crystal herself to bristle.
Swain’s good nature aside, she has felt a great deal of trepidation over the prospect that she might be unconsciously manipulating the emotions of others. She is not sure that she possesses full control of her empathic abilities and the idea that she could be unintentionally manipulative is something that worries her terribly.
This concern over unintentionally manipulating others has been especially difficult in terms of Swain’s romantic life. The notion that she could unconsciously ‘trick’ someone into reciprocating a romantic advance is something that she could just not live with. This worry may be further compounded by the fact that Swain identifies as a lesbian and she would only want to be with a woman if that woman truly wanted to be with her. Swain has had a crush on her fellow new Inhuman Panacea.
Ironically, Panacea’s own transformation has had a profound effect on her emotionality and she is one of the few individuals for whom Swain’s powers have no effect on. The fact that Swain cannot unconsciously manipulate Panacea has led Swain to feel confident to pursue her romantic interest in her. The two eventually became engaged in a romantic relationship, although their affair has been somewhat strained by Swain’s recent absence whist on a mission to the cosmos with the Royals.
The RIV was destroyed by Magneto during the opening salvos of the Inhumans/X-Men War. Swain was captured by The X-Men and imprisoned on occupied New Attilan. Following the war, Swain accepted Medusa’s request that she pilot the spaceship Asterion on a mission into space where it is hoped that a new source of Terrigen might be obtained.
Swain’s ongoing adventures are continuing to unfold in the pages of the Royals ongoings series.
Crystal wakes up to find that she and the other Inhumans are captured. And among them, something is not right with Gorgon....

The Royals - Captain Swain cut-out doodle
But...we’re Inhumans, Swain. We’re not beholden to the human world. To the cages of their words. To the stunted definitions they chain themselves with. We keep time by our watches. We fly by our own stars. We are wonders. And the meaning of love is what we make of it.
