The Umbrella Academy: Every Sparrow's Power Explained

Being a superhero generally requires that the superhero have a tragic or complicated relationship with their parents, most often the father or father figure. For the Umbrella Academy Sir Reginald Hargreeves has taken the troubled father figure relationship ball and runs with it, including going out and getting alternative children when his first set of adopted children turn out to be a disappointment. Of course that’s possible because his first set of kids prevented an apocalypse they were kinda responsible for only to send themselves scattershot into the past to not only cause and therefore prevent another apocalypse but set off a third apocalypse via a paradox that occurs thanks to their time traveling antics. It’s apocalypses all the way down. Sir Reginald’s alternatives have some advantages over the first round picks. All seven of them make it all the way to adulthood while the Umbrellas lost Ben at an early age. They don’t have a member that is both very sullen and very prone to exploding with enough power to apparently end everything. Perhaps most importantly, it appears they have not had to prevent their own apocalypses three times in a row. The new members minus Ben bring with them their own set of powers that, unlike their Umbrella counterparts, they are a lot more coordinated in their use. From the power to induce hallucinations, manipulate gravity, or summon a murder of crows that will be their eyes and do their bidding. Which power is your favorite?

How would you rank Sparrow's powers?

[antionettekidd]

I wish we could see more of all of the other 43 children.

[conorcharlton]

Hargreeves didn’t pick the sparrows bc he thinks the umbrellas are failures he picked them bc the umbrellas weren’t born bc of harlen

[itsthemaggieshow]

I wish we would’ve seen more of Jayme’s powers, it was fun while it lasted

[Moon_The_Magical]

Yeah with Cristopher the cube, when I was watching Season 3 with my cousin, we were like: "Wait someone BIRTHED that thing?" Or did ol' Reggie just adopt a random cube he found at some point?

[jpetersgoyanks]

He also needed people with powers to defeat the Hotel Oblivion guardians so they could access the machine. They weren’t just batteries.

Klaus didnt force ben to stay ben was to scared to go

[mitchsayshi]

I loved the idea of Sloane being able to understand the physics and use her powers!

[diegopansini]

We got little to nothing from most of them, unfortunately. So it hardly matters

[lexjjohnson]

Ha I’m never one of the first comments. This season was absolutely crazy. (Love the Matrix reference). The powers were kinda loosely explained for the “less important” Sparrows.

[YoMateo.]

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

[Burningdaylighter]

Am I the only one that thinks Sloane looks like Lady Gaga?

[bigruapurart]

Did I miss something, wasnt REginald just an alien? Where did this "interdimensional being" come from?

[ThinkTwink]

Lmao funny how irrelevant this information is now 😂 Luther's wife didn't even get a mention this season.

[EQuisby]

7 to use as a battery...why not use all 40...

[accidentallike]

Ya know, you didn't NEED to spoil a major revelation in the first monute of the video without warning...

[ryansuits]
