While the show spent a good amount of its previous two seasons exploring various Inhumans from Marvel Comics, it is not set to connect to the forthcoming 'Inhumans' series on ABC. Interestingly enough, we've seen a version of the Alpha Primitives on 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' during the show's third season. They lack the inability to truly understand that they are merely a piece of the machine, making them an easy target for someone like Maximus to influence. The Primitives are driven by their need to serve their King, Black Bolt, and the rest of the Royal Family. When it comes to Maximus, a common thread in his ploys is the involvement of the Alpha Primitives, a group of beings created specifically for the task of keeping Attilan running. Maximus may be Mad, but he's still every bit a genius. He's constantly teetering on the edge of sane and maniacal, using his intelligence to build impressive tools and technology to work in his favor, while also fully embracing his insanity. But when it comes to Maximus, you know what to expect, making him a strange and stark contrast to his brother. While we know that his brother is an in control and incredibly powerful King, there's still a fair share of mystery surrounding him.

That's part of what makes him such a fascinating character. In fact, there are moments where it appears he knows how to turn off the Mad act to better suit his schemes. Yet, even with the sudden shifts in personality, Maximus seems to always be a step ahead of his relatives and those around him. The arc that showcases the best is the Jenkins & Lee run, where we see the character switch between maniacal and conniving within a few panels. Maximus may be Mad, but he's still incredibly smart underneath all the crazy.
