Iridia is a lower-caste Inhuman of Attilan who underwent Terrigenesis and became a highly valued member of their society. Although his brother and father joined Maximus' rebellion against the Royal Family, Iridia remained loyal to Black Bolt. As the city of Attilan was to be destroyed following Maximus' downfall, Iridia joined the rest of the Inhumans and went to Earth one more time, preparing for a new life on the planet their ancestors had left.

Early Years
With Attilan being too small and its resources too thin, the Inhuman society was organized into castes. Those with lesser abilities were sent to the mines while the others, the gifted, were granted a higher status. Being the children of Loyolis and Paripan, Iridia's and Bronaja's parents were lesser inhumans who hoped that Terrigenesis would grant their children with useful abilities and consequently a higher social status.[1]
Terrigenesis
Iridia and Bronaja were eventually selected to undergo their own Terrigenesis, with a ceremony being held by Kitang under the watchful eyes of the Royal Family. Bronaja and his sister were told to enter the pods where they were covered in the Terrigen Mist. While Iridia got butterfly wings, gaining the ability to fly, to the marvel of the other Inhumans, and becoming a highly valued member of her society. Her brother however seemingly got nothing and was consequently send to the mines, to work alongside their father.
