In the Netflix adaptation, six are adopted by billionaire Reginald Hargreeves (aka “The Monocle”), who creates the Umbrella Academy and preps his “children” to save the world: Vanya/The White Violin (Ellen Page), Luther/Spaceboy (Tom Hopper), Diego/The Kraken (David Castañeda), Allison/The Rumor (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus/The Séance (Robert Sheehan) and Number Five/The Boy (Aidan Gallagher). In the adaptation we see Number 5 came from the future to warn his siblings for the impending apocalypse. We finally got to see Number 7/ Vanya has powers too and that was hidden from her. Due to that she started the apocalypse and the siblings neutralized Vanya and together went to another timeline.
