I’m real good at accidentally choosing the correct choice when I want the wrong one...luckily, that didn’t happen here.

Inhuman of The Day

December 7th - Videmus

A blind Inhuman, exceptionally tall in stature, with chalk-white skin and tendril-like protrusions extending from his eye-sockets. The ends of these tendrils can attach to the forehead of another person, thus allowing Videmus to see that other person’s thoughts and feel their emotions.

Videmus worked as a healer on old Attilan, acting as a type of psychotherapist, helping those suffering from inner conflict and confusion. He worked with Quicksilver when he was convalescing on old Attilan after the Mutant had lost his speed powers following M-Day and consequentially attempted suicide.

Quicksilver was desperate to regain his powers and he had lobbied King Black Bolt to allow him to be exposed to the Terrigen Mists. Black Bolt had denied this request outright… it was unknown how the Terrigen would affect Quicksilver and it was possible the process would kill him. Quicksilver was willing to take this risk. His being forbidden to go through Terrigenesis had led him to give into hopelessness and severe depression.

Videmus had never been especially invested in the rules and power structure of Attilan. Years of being exposed to the unadulterated thoughts and feelings of others had left him with something of a fluid, more chaotic sense of morality, of what is right and wrong. He chose to defy his king and help Quicksilver, telling the mutant how and where he might ferret his way into the chamber of Terrigenesis.

Quicksilver followed Videmus’ instructions. Just as Videmus had warned, entering the chamber required that Quicksilver attack and murder the sentry who was standing guard over the chamber. Blinded by his desperation, Quicksilver killed this guard, an Inhuman named Goran Maledicta. He then entered into he chamber and went through Terrigenesis.

In more recent tales, it has been revealed that the form of Terrigen contained in the Terrigen Cloud is hugely deleterious, even deadly, to Mutants. In it’s raw form, however, it appeared to endow Mutants with new powers. Quicksilver was bestowed with the capacity to travel short distances through time. Following his Terrigenesis, Quicksilver stole a large cache of the crystals and fled Attilan back to earth. There he used the crystals to transform a number of de-powered Mutants into new Inhumans (although it turned out that such transformations proved to be temporary and the new abilities wore off without subsequent exposure to Terrigen). Quicksilver had additionally abducted his daughter, Luna, and exposed her as well to the Terrigen Mists (endowing the youth with the ability to read and manipulate the emotions of others).

Videmus eventually confessed to his role in the theft of the Terrigen Crystals. Quicksilver was ultimately apprehended and Luna reunited with her mother. King Black Bolt considered executing Quicksilver for his crimes and the murder of Maledicta, but he decided instead to banish Quicksilver from Attilan under the penalty of death.

Quicksilver’s time-traveling powers waned and at some point he regained his mutant ability for super speed. He was also able to overturn his banishment from Attilan by convincing the Royal Family that his crimes were actually committed by a Super Skrull Imposter. Although Luna knew the truth of the matter...

For his role in the crime, however, Videmus was striped of his role as healer and forbidden from ever again using his powers to connect with another. It was essentially a sentence of solitary confinement and Gorgon challenged the sentence stating that it was far too harsh. Yet Videmus did not object. He accepted his punishment with his typical stoicism and left the palace to begin his life of isolation.

This was the last we’ve seen of Videmus and his current status and whereabout remain unknown.
