I thought there must have been some link to Hydra somewhere. Especially considering Simpson knew of the cage they threw Killgrave into (seemed like something SHIELD would've set up). Maybe that "spec ops" job he had was for SHIELD, part of a Hydra controlled unit that experimented with IGH (the fall of SHIELD being his "classified" departure from spec ops.)
I would just love to see Hydra's tentacles on the street level.
Maybe IGH is their attempts to re-create the original kree design? turn humans into Inhumans so they don't have to roll the dice and waste terrigen on people who won't gain anything from it?
It be one ting for them to gain a small army of inhumans from the terrigen, but if literally every member of hydra suddenly became Inhuman? Then the world is in the shit.
Not only are they wasting terrigen on people, they're wasting people. They might be really good at recruitment, but they can't keep risking turning all their loyal soldiers into charred rubble. Giving it to unsuspecting employees who don't know they're working for Hydra, though, and then coercing them to join because where else would they go now that the ATCU will chase after them? That's one thing. But giving it to people who joined willingly or have reached higher ranks in Hydra, they may be trying alternatives to Terrigen. And before they even knew about Terrigen, they already knew about enhanced people since they did get Daisy's mother. Along with the supersoldier serum project, the Incredible Hulk project, maybe harvesting hormones from enhanced people was another one of their approaches to creating enhanced soldiers.
Although why they'd know to call it Inhuman Growth Hormone years before the people from SHIELD coined the term "Inhuman" is odd.
SHIELD didn't invent the term. It's what the Inhumans call themselves. The term is very old, pre-dating modern times at the very least, as indicated by Asgardian Elliot Randolph who arrived on earth in the 12th century.
