Who are the main characters on The Umbrella Academy?
Klaus Hargreeves (Robert Sheehan) is a recovering drug and alcohol addict (with occasional relapses) turned cult leader who can communicate with the dead, most importantly the deceased Ben Hargreeves (Justin H. Min). Ben perished on a mission when the siblings were kids but occasionally flexes his powers (including manifesting giant tentacles from his body) with Klaus’ help, though during season two he ends up leaving the ghost life behind to fully enter the afterlife. Allison Hargreeves (Emmy Raver-Lampman) is a famous actress when we first meet her in season one and a civil rights activist in season two; her power, which she tries not to deploy, is a form of mind control that begins with her uttering the phrase “I heard a rumor.”
Meanwhile, Viktor Hargreeves (Elliot Page) was raised believing that unlike his siblings, he had no special powers—only to discover he was the most powerful among them, able to transform sound waves into devastating physical force. Viktor’s anger exploded at the end of season one, and his frustration toward his siblings, his father, and the world in general caused the moon to shatter, in turn causing the first apocalypse. In season two, an amnesiac Viktor has to re-learn about his relationships with all the other Hargreeves, as well as the scope of his powers.
