Biography
Triton
Years later on Black Bolt's 19th birthday, his father Agon allowed his son to finally leave isolation now that he had found the discipline to never speak. It was here that Triton first met Black Bolt. When Maximus attempted to force his brother to speak to cause untold destruction in the hopes he could eventually claim the Inhuman throne, Medusa, Gorgon and Karnak stopped him. (Thor v1 #149) Black Bolt soon became ruler of the Inhumans after the untimely death of his parents, and his brother Maximus being driven mad after nearly betraying their people to the Kree. (Avengers v1 #95) On May 7, 1915, Triton was swimming through the ocean when he witnessed the RMS Lusitania on its course from New York to Liverpool. En route, the ship was struck by a torpedo fired by the German U-Boat. Witnessing the passengers scrambling for their lives, Triton tired to save who he could. Very young himself at the time and not very strong, Triton was only able to save a young boy named Billy who was handed to him by the boy's grandfather. After getting Billy to shore, Triton fled back into the ocean for fear of further discovery. (Inhumans v2 #9) In the 1950s, Triton decided to explore the oceans outside of Attilan. During his travels he came across a film crew filing a monster movie. Witnessing a scene where the monster attacks a woman and not understanding it was all an act, Triton interfered. The movie crew were able to intervene and incapacitate Triton. Realizing that they had captured a real live fish man, the director decided to take Triton back to the mainland and make it rich. (Thor v1 #150) Contained in a glass case filled with water, Triton waited to see what was to happen, his curiosity being just as piqued as his captors. As they approached shore Triton overheard how they were going to keep him caged and decided break free. Triton broke free and sank the ship, but instead of fleeing he still wished to explore this strange new city he had been brought to. (Thor v1 #151) Triton came to shore in New York City, on land he was attacked by locals. Fleeing into the streets he attacked oncoming cars, not understanding what they were, and was chased away by the authorities. Fleeing back into the ocean, Triton swam back to Attilan, and reported back to Black Bolt about his findings. Triton feared that the humans current advancement in technology would lead to the Inhumans being discovered. (Thor v1 #152)

- In Ultimate Spider-Man, Triton made an appearance starting in "Agent "Venom" as a new recruit of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was voiced by actor James Arnold Taylor. The episode "Inhumanity" established him as a member of the Inhuman Royal Family sent as an exchange student from Attilan. As an outsider, he was isolated from his class mates who found him strange and different leading to a mistrust of him. He joined Spider-Man in the fight against the Molten Man but was overconfident in his own abilities as a fighter based off his combat skills in Attilan. Spider-Man would teach him about team work and he returned to the Triskelion when suddenly the throne-city of Attilan emerged over New York with the Inhumans declaring war. As a result, Triton was arrested under orders from Nick Fury though he stated that his was unlike his people and he convinced Spider-Man to assist him in stopping a war. They managed to reach Attilan where they discovered that Maximus the Mad had taken over the city and controlled the Royal Family where he forced them to wage a war against mankind. Spider-Man and Triton only escaped when the latter used a gyro-cube to temporarily trap Maximus. They later fought a ritual trial by combat against Maximus who was defeated when his mind controlling helmet was knocked off allowing the Royal Family to regain control. Following an apology from Nick Fury for his aggressive actions, Triton was made the Attilan ambassador to S.H.I.E.L.D.
