The Umbrella Academy
Summary
The extensive varietyThe Umbrella Academypowers helped assure that Netflix ’s take on the superhero writing style felt fresh throughout all four seasons — however , certain ability are decidedly better than others . WhileThe Umbrella Academycertainly is n’t the first series to depict mass with special ability , not many have done it in such a fun manner . The various member of the Academyall have some somewhat cool baron , though some are definitely more useful , and there are also some that make liveliness implausibly difficult for the fictitious character exert them .
WithThe Umbrella Academynow conclude , it ’s potential to assesswhich of the Hargreeves siblings(or the other superpowered theatrical role in the show ) in truth had the best power . The powers in the show had develop and changed as the tale progressed , so while some seemed pretty tame during the first season , by the end of season 4 they were a force to be reckoned with . Not only did these ever - changing powers keep viewers on their toes , it also mean that every unmarried one ofThe Umbrella Academypowers had the potentiality to become more than first appeared .
The Umbrella Academy has hop between clip since the end of its first season , but time of year 4 adds several wise timelines to its impressive catalog .
14Jayme
Hallucinogenic Venom
regrettably , someone has to rank at the bottom of any ranked list ofThe Umbrella Academypowers , and it ’s Jayme ( played by Cazzie David ) . Introduced in season 3 as a fellow member of the Sparrow Academy , Jayme has the ability to ptyalize venomat someone and stimulate them to hallucinate . While this could definitely be a useful tycoon , it ’s still incredibly infirm compare to many of the abilities other characters in the show possess .
Jayme only expend her hallucinogenic spite a twosome of times duringThe Umbrella Academyseason 3 , but it lick on muscular people like Diego and Five . However , it ’s just not as useful as the power of others and is rarely seen . Jayme does well as a fighterin other ways though , prove by how she live against Ben on the scepter of death . While her business leader could have evolved into something more , Jayme unfortunately perishes before the true extent of her abilities can be discovered .
The Umbrella Academy season 4 throw the Hargreeves a send - off that feel classic , but could season 5 still happen ? Here ’s what we roll in the hay .
13Christopher
Cold & Fear Inducement
Like Jayme , Christopher Hargreeves is a fellow member of the Sparrow Academy and featured prominently inThe Umbrella Academyseason 3 . Easily the most mystic character on the show , Christopher is the Sparrow Academy ’s Number Seven . They ’re not human and are actuallyjust a sentient telekinetic cube who does n’t address , but can be sympathize by their siblings ( presumably through some manner or telepathic communicating ) .
They are shown to be able to manipulate the temperature of a room to make it freeze , and they have the ability to stimulate fear into the mind of others .
For the most part , Christopher ’s powers are n’t totally seen . They are designate to be able to manipulate the temperature of a room to make it freezing , and they have the ability to induce fear into the mind of others . Christopher ’s magnate also allow them to control the Kugelblitz for a short sentence as well .
Like many Sparrow Academy members , Christopher was n’t in the show long enough for the full extent of their ability to be shew , but it ’s entirely possible they could have become one of the most powerful theatrical role give time . regrettably , since they were n’t around for that long and did n’t show their power much , they still grade fairly low by the timeThe Umbrella Academyconcluded .
12Marcus
Super Strength
Marcus Hargreeves ( played by Justin Cornwell ) is another penis of The Sparrow Academy , and was only present in four episodes ofThe Umbrella Academy . He also has one of the more genericThe Umbrella Academypowers , and unless his power radically shifted somehow he ’d still be seen as one of the relatively infirm individual in the broad universe of the show .
Technically , Marcus Hargreeves of the Sparrow Academy hasthe same power as his Umbrella Academy counterpart , Luther . They ’re both bit One on their various team , but Marcus comes across as someone who commands more respectfulness and is a better drawing card . That being say , Marcus ranks a bit lower because his powers were n’t learn all that much . He bested Luther in a brusque engagement but otherwise was scarcely seen using his abilities as he was thefirst major victim of the Kugelblitz .
The Umbrella Academy season 4 introduced the Keepers and a ruinous event recognize as " The Cleanse " that was closely linked to the Hargreeves .
11Luther
One of the first king hearing see inThe Umbrella Academyare those of Luther Hargreeves ( Tom Hopper ) . Luther , like Sparrow - honorary society vis-a-vis Marcus Hargreeves , has topnotch strength . However , Luther ’s abilities also number with a downside - his torso is incredibly malformed , giving him an almost apelike show from the neck opening down . He may formally be Number One and technically the loss leader of the Umbrella Academy , but that does n’t stand for Luther is all that interesting when assessing his powers alone .
Luther ’s military position at the top of the squad may seem apprehensible consider thathis super strength is sure as shooting something that is good for a loss leader . Ultimately , though , Luther ’s world power are kind of bland . Characters with top-notch strength have been littered all throughout account , so it ’s nothing unexampled and there ’s not much limited to it . The most interesting or unique aspect surrounding it is the fact that he became emulator - like after an experiment by his founder , and his cool conniption was probable when he stop a missile with his back .
10Alphonso
Damage Reflection
Luther is n’t the only fiber whose business leader inThe Umbrella Academycause unfortunate change to their strong-arm appearance , as Sparrow Academy penis Alphonso Hargreeves ( play by Jake Epstein ) bears an ever - growing act of scar thanks to his unique ability . In a lot of ways , being able to reflect any physical damagesounds like an ideal top executive . Alphonso has this acquirement , lead vicious rap from Luther , Diego , and more but always being capable to ship it back to hurt them .
His ability have him to be scarred and deformed , and it ’s also not a unfailing power .
Alphonso was even able to get sliced by a knife and have it bear on Stan . However , there are drawbacks here . His ability have him to be scarred and deformed , and it ’s also not a unfailing mightiness . For example , Diego was able to bruise him during their fightand when Harlan attacked , and he was killed with no problem . Also , given Alphono ’s appearance , it ’s a index that definitely raise question over his power being a worthwhile trade - off , as a normal life outside the Sparrow Academy would be incredibly hard .
9Fei
Crow Control
There are many unequaled ability inThe Umbrella Academy , but one that stand out more than most is that of Fei Hargreeves ( Britne Oldford ) . Fei ’s ability is that she can control crows . Not all wildlife , or even bird in worldwide , but specifically and only crow . The ability tocontrol crows is an odd superpowerand not one that is seen often in the public of comic books . The most notable pop culture character who could do this was likely Bran Stark fromGame of Thrones . However , Fei use it often to her vantage .
Fei might be blind , but she can also expend the crow she ensure to see . In fact , Fei ’s crows are a Brobdingnagian part of the first few episodes as they vanish around and snoop on various multitude . It allow Fei to see more than anyone elseon the team and would ’ve been quite useful if she stuck around longer . Fei ’s ability also could have become much more powerful in the right circumstances , since there does n’t seem to be a limit on the identification number of crows she could ensure . If she had accession to century , or even dozen , of them , she would almost certainly be a force to be reckoned with .
8Ben
Eldritch Tentacles
Ben Hargreeves ( Justin H. Min ) was one of the most mysterious characters inThe Umbrella Academyseasons 1 and 2 , since he was dead and only Klaus could communicate with him . As the show progressed , it emerged that Ben ’s king were the ability to sprout eldritch tentacle from his stomach . On paper , being able to have eldritch tentacle burst from one ’s body seems like it ’s not much of a superpower . It reads like it would be painful and is n’t a stereotypically utile business leader . However , that ’s really what makes it do work , as it ’s something totally unexpected and it ’s surprisingly violent .
It depend even cooler when Ben possessed Klaus and used it during the season 1 finale .
Ben is already dead when the serial begins , so this is n’t a power that is seen often . When he uses it as a kid , the resultant are effective and bloody . It see even cooler whenBen possessed Klausand used it during the season 1 finale . The best moment with it came during the opening of season 2 , asa ghost Ben busted it out to aid his sibling . The Sparrow Academy version of Ben also used it successfully , and it continued to be one of the most helpfulUmbrella Academypowers right up until the end of time of year 4 .
7Sloane
Gravity Manipulation
The most likeable appendage of the Sparrow Academy is Sloane , who is at once not as hostile as her sibling . She is even the one to pass in love with Luther and prove to bring the two families together . Her world power is gravity manipulation , which is handy .
Although Sloane does n’t show off her skills often , she ’s telling when she does . While defend in the time of year 3 premiere , Sloane is able to hold off and get the upper hired hand on some of the strongest member of the Umbrella Academy .
6Lila
Power Mimicry
It soon emerged that Lila ’s tycoon inThe Umbrella Academyis the ability to mimic those around her . While it ’s a phenomenal skill when fighting others with powers , if she ’s not around them , the power is kind of useless . Lila became a valued appendage of the team in season 3 because when she ’s with other powered person , she ’s incredibly grievous . Lila ’s powers also germinate significantly inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 , as she win a an unmimicked ability of her own — shooting laser beams from her center .
The Umbrella Academy season 4 dish as a somewhat disappointing send - off for the show , and Lila and Five ’s baffling story make it even worse .
5Diego
Trajectory Manipulation
Like Lila , Diego ( David Castañeda ) also had power that evolve betweenThe Umbrella Academyseason ’s 1 and 4 , though this was less notable since , for all intention and use , he had the same abilities , they just get firm . At least when it descend to time of year 1,Diego was the character who exuded the gamey nip factor . He carried himself with a rugged antihero - same toughness , and was out to be a hero .
Diego ’s was surely one of the bestUmbrella Academypowers for viewers , as it impart itself fantastically well to gripping activeness sequences . For case , when the entire Umbrella Academy shoot part in a huge scrap during season 1 , Diego was seen leaping off of a tank and changing the direction of various bullet being shot at him to go back at the shooters . At first , audience only conceive he could shake off knivesand have them curve to go wherever he want . Now , he has branched out to use his trajectory manipulation to also discontinue bullet , which is always visually spectacular to witness .
