History: (Fantastic
Four I#59) – Glytra was among the Inhumans who
gathered in the city square when Black Bolt summoned them. The entire
populace
had been shielded inside Attilan for months and they were shocked when
Black
Bolt ordered the main square to be abandoned then he destroyed much of
the
city, and the surrounding barrier, with his voice.
(Fantastic Four I#240) – Glytra was among the
civilians who
was present when the city of Attilan relocated to the Blue Area of the
Moon.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott.
Glytra's name was first revealed in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Deluxe Edition I#6.
There are a ton of background Inhuman characters
that show
up in crowd scenes but are never named. Glytra is unique in that she
appeared
more than once and even more unique given that she was assigned a name
in the
Handbooks. Ultimately, very little is known about her.
I'm unsure what her name means but the word Elytra is the plural of Elytron, which is defined as "one of the pair of hardened forewings of certain insects, as beetles, forming a protective covering for the posterior or flight wings." Perhaps the G was added to the front for "glide?" Pure speculation here.
