- "People who believe in using science and technology to transcend our biological limitations."

Transhumanists are a group of humans that have evolved their bodies through cybernetic enhancements. However, it was mildly implied that they also explore and dabble in the possibilities of biological enhancement.
History[]
Forbidden Existence[]
Under the communist government of Romania, Transhumanists were prohibited from meeting publicly. It was only recently that the local Transhumanists had come out from meeting in each other's basements and secret locations, and embraced more public conventions and social gatherings.[1]
Contacting Holden Radcliffe[]
While Hive, a powerful parasitic Inhuman was attempting to force the entire human race to evolve into semi-Inhuman creatures, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. sought help from a scientist known as Holden Radcliffe.
In attempts to contact Radcliffe, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were sent to infiltrate a social convention for emerging technologies, organized and frequented by many Transhumanists. At the convention in Bucharest, Fitz and Simmons went undercover as experimental geneticists looking to sell a new form of optic technology to Radcliffe. Unfortunately, the mission went south, as Fitz and Simmons were intercepted by Hive and other infected Inhumans. Hive left, taking Radcliffe with them.[1]
