A.K.A:Spaceboy Powers: Super strength and uh...a space gorilla body. It makes sense in context (not really).

Number Two : Diego Hargreeves played by David Castañeda

A.K.A:The Kraken Powers:Can breathe underwater, real good fighter

Number Three: Allison Hargreeves played by Emmy Raver-Lampman

A.K.A:The RumorPowers:Speech-based reality distortion, which means everything she says out loud becomes retroactively true.

Number Four: Klaus Hargreeves played by Robert Sheehan

A.K.A:Séance Powers:He can talk to the dead and kind of fly, but only if he's not wearing shoes. He also probably can't die and has further telekinetic powers.

Number Five: ??? Hargreeves played by Aidan Gallagher

A.K.A:The Boy Powers:It's probably best to wait and find out.

Number Seven: Vanya Hargreeves played by Ellen Page

A.K.A.just Vanya, unfortunately Powers:None. She plays a mean violin though.

If anyone's looking for Number Six, suffice it to say that Number Six isn't in the picture.

That leaves Umbrella Academy with six dysfunctional siblings, five of which have superpowers, few of which like each other, and a world to save. All with a distinctly Gerard Way flair! I'm not OK, are you?
