"Thousands of years ago, an Inhuman was born on this planet that was destined to rule it, so powerful, so fearsome that others were consumed with dread, and so they banished It from the Earth, sent It through the portal to a distant planet. HYDRA was founded with the sole purpose of engineering its return."

―Gideon Malick

Hive was a parasitic Inhuman. As a Mayan, he was one of the first humans to be experimented on by the Kree. Feared by other inhumans, Hive was banished to another world. After his banishment a cult named HYDRA was founded with the sole purpose of Hive Paganism.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Environmental Manipulation: Hive is able to both create wind and sandstorms upon Maveth as well as widening chasms.
• Accelerated Healing Factor: When he was shot with many bullets and a rocket projectile to his left shoulder, he healed instantaneously. When Quake caused extensive internal injuries using her powers, he regenerated within a few moments. He was also unaffected by Quake stabbing him multiple times on his chest.
• Superhuman Strength: He was able to combat Kree reapers and eventually overpower one of them as well.
• Metamorphosis: He was able to morph into his true form & back into his Grant Ward form willingly.
• Parasites Control: He was able to generate & control an a small army of parasites found on his host body. He was able to use them to absorb the tissue, and vitality of his victims in order to restore his host's vitality. However, after absorbing Kree tissue, it restored his full power, giving him passive regenerative abilities. He was even able to kill Stephanie Malick from inside her own body, by infecting her with parasites straight through her mouth while kissing her.
  • Mind Control: By latching his parasites upon an Inhuman, he can bend their will and make them addicted to following his commands.
• Body Possession: Hive has the ability to possess people after infesting the bodies of the dead and using them as vessels for which it can perform basic actions. Hive possessed Taylor and attacked Will Daniels, while also forcing Austin and Brubaker to commit suicide. Later, Hive possessed the corpse of an astronaut to try and fool Jemma Simmons, then possessed Daniels' corpse to try and trick Leo Fitz into letting him leave the planet. Hive can apparently also halt or slow the natural decomposition of a host body, given that it had been inhabiting Daniels' body for months. Hive also appears to have access to all of the hosts' memories and behavior, as he was able to successfully imitate Daniels during its earlier encounter with Fitz and relay information about Daniels' time with Simmons. Will explained that Hive makes people go "insane".
  • Superhuman Longevity: Hive's ability to inhabit the bodies of others has enabled it to survive for centuries.
