Heart attack
Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow stops to part of the heart causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Often it is in the center or left side of the chest and lasts for more than a few minutes. The discomfort may occasionally feel like heartburn. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, nausea, feeling faint, a cold sweat, or feeling tired.[1] About 30% of people have atypical symptoms, with women more likely than men to present atypically.[2] Among those over 75 years old, about 5% have had an MI with little or no history of symptoms.[3] An MI may cause heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, or cardiac arrest.

Hellfire
A mystical energy which acts in a similar fashion to ordinary fire, with one major difference. It can burn physical objects through heat, or it can traumatize the souls of living beings, depending on the wielder's intention. It is used by such characters as Ghost Rider, Vengeance, Zarathos, and any of a large number of other supernatural or occult characters in this particular area of the Marvel Universe. Also known as soulfire.
Hellfire has been described as both cold and hot, depending on its use. The various Ghost Riders seem to be able to control and create normal fire and a type of mystical fire, yet they call both types hellfire at various times, and at other times they make a clear distinction between the two types of fire.[1].
Properties
- Burns the soul, causing the victim to experience all of his/her sins and to feel the torments of hell.
- Burns underwater[2].
- Possibly feeds off oxygen (this might be normal fire)[3].
Major events in the comics involving hellfire
- The Water Wizard is the first to describe it as burning his soul - making him the first victim of the soul-searing version of Ghost Rider's hellfire[4].
- During his brief stint as a member of the Fantastic Four, the Dan Ketch Ghost Rider discovers he can physically separate hellfire from himself, although he can't control it or understand how it works.[5]

Henchman
(also referred to as Henchwoman or Henchperson) A Henchman is an underling of a more powerful criminal mastermind or super-villain. Henchmen are typically dim-witted individuals with poor fighting skills, though most will arm themselves with conventional weaponry such as a gun or a knife. In the Golden-Age era, a sap was a popular weapon of choice for many henchmen. In recent years, the term has bred a neologism known as "Hench", which is an acting verb used to describe the actions of a Henchman.

Homo Mermanus
An evolutionary offshoot of humanity who possess gills and dwell underwater. It is not yet known how this sub-species came into being. Homo mermanus are popularly called Atlanteans, although the term properly refers only to the citizens of the Atlantean empire.
Houngan

Humanoid
Having virtually the same physical characteristics as a human being. Only a normal Earth human being can properly be termed human, although mutants, Eternals, and Inhumans can be classified as human under a broader definition of the term. Beings who greatly resemble human beings in physical characteristics, but are not exactly like them are humanoids. Beings who resemble humans in some major outward physical characteristics but not in others that are of equal importance are called semi-humanoids.

Hybrids
.jpg){kind=link}
Hybrids, sometimes called "Half-breeds", are the result of the cross between two species, one or both not necessarily humanoids.
Are also considered as hybrids the spawn from hybrids.
The Hybrids are supposed by their nature to be sterile in theory, but that doesn't coincide with the reality.
The hybrid in the picture is Torus Storm, the mutant hybrid of human and super-skrull parentage. This kind of cross-breeding, and especially a mutate legacy, commonly result in mutant offspring.
Many human subspecies, and even alien species, demons and gods, have shown their ability to cross-breed, via natural ways or by bioengineering.
See also the list of hybrids and their different types.
To be noted that as the Homo sapiens and the Homo superior aren't as separated than other humanity offshoots, most of those categories include humans and mutants in the same group, and their cross-breeding products aren't considered as hybrids. Also humanity can gather every branch of humanity.

Hyperspace
A dimension accessible from Earth whose physical laws differ from Earth's in the following ways. First, it is possible to surpass the speed of light within hyperspace. Second, hyperspace is "warped" in comparison to Earth's dimension so that the distance between two points in hyperspace might be immensely shorter than the distance between the equivalent points in Earth's dimension. Interstellar travel is impractical for any sentient race that has not discovered the means of traveling through hyperspace in order to reach a destination in their own dimension. Hyperspace is also known as sub-space (which is sometimes confused with the Negative Zone) and warp-space. It is accessible through naturally occurring or artificially created nexuses in space called space warps.
