Readers would also come to learn that the world of Umbrella Academy follows its own alternate history, one altered both by Hargreeves' fantastical inventions and the fact that JFK was never assassinated. While Apocalypse Suite established the origin of the team, the book largely takes place in the present, after the Hargreeves children have grown up and returned to mourn their dead father. The original Umbrella Academy miniseries, Apocalypse Suite, made its debut in 2007.

Funnily enough, DC Universe's Doom Patrol series and Netflix's Umbrella Academy series will make their debut on the same day, February 15, 2019. There are many similarities between the two stories, as both deal with an eccentric benefactor gathering together a strange, dysfunctional team of heroes to live in his mansion. Way has pointed to writer Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol as a particularly major influence (hence why Morrison appears in two music videos from My Chemical Romance's 2010 album Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys). The series was heavily inspired by Way's love for comics like Grendel Tales and Doom Patrol. Umbrella Academy: Origin and BackgroundThe Umbrella Academy series was created by Gerard Way (best known as the lead singer of My Chemical Romance) and Gabriel Bá (artist and co-creator of the Image Comics series Casanova). As an adult, her years of violin practice pay off when Vanya is recruited into the Orchestra Verdammten and transformed into the supervillain known as The White Violin. Number Seven (The White Violin) - As the only member of the family with no superhuman powers as a child, Vanya Hargreeves was often ignored or insulted by her father. Ben died during an early Umbrella Academy mission, with only a memorial statue left to keep his memory alive. Number Six (The Horror) - Little is known about Ben Hargreeves apart from his ability to unleash monsters living underneath his skin. His original disappearance caused the Umbrella Academy to break up, and since returning from a hellish future, he's been instrumental in keeping the old gang together.
Number Five - The only member of the family not to have a normal name, Number Five is a time traveler trapped in the body of his 10-year-old self. Klaus is by far the most morbid and nihilistic member of the Hargreeves family, a fact that definitely wasn't helped by briefly dying and being rejected by both Heaven and Hell. Number Four (The Seánce) - Klaus Hargreeves has the ability to levitate and commune with the dead, but only when he isn't wearing shoes.

She can rewrite reality simply by speaking the phrase, "I heard a rumor." She's also perhaps the most psychologically damaged Hargreeves sibling, plagued by guilt over the fact that her ex-husband has full custody of their daughter, Claire. Number Three (The Rumor) - Allison Hargreeves may well be the most powerful member of the team. Basically, if Spaceboy is the Umbrella Academy's Superman, Kraken is its Batman. Number Two (The Kraken) - While Diego Hargreeves doesn't have much in the way of power (beyond the ability to hold his breath indefinitely), his combat skills and ruthless personality make him the most skilled fighter of the group. He spends most of his time off-planet and has a hidden crush on his adoptive sister, Number Three. His innate super-strength was further enhanced after his head was grafted onto the body of a genetically engineered Martian ape. Number One (Spaceboy) - Luther Hargreeves is the leader of the team and the one most eager to please his father. Each of the seven children were given a number by their father, ranking them in order of their abilities and usefulness. Umbrella Academy CharactersThe Umbrella Academy consists of seven members, each one of them adopted as an infant by Hargreeves and groomed to become superheroes. It's not easy putting the past behind them, but these heroes are the first and only line of defense in a world even stranger than our own. The three Umbrella Academy stories published so far feature the adult Hargreeves children trying to reconnect and work together as a functional team.
