The hulking Luther Hargreeves (Tom Hopper) once suffered a near-fatal accident and was saved by an experimental treatment that means he now has the torso of an ape. Prior to season one, he spent four years on the moon conducting “research” for his father, which he later learned served no purpose; in season two, he’s an underground fighter and also works security at a club owned by Jack Ruby. A sensitive guy despite his giant size, he’s also in love with Allison—a feeling that’s mutual but proves perpetually inconvenient to act on for a variety of reasons.
