Most of the Hargreeves siblings in Netflix's The Umbrella Academy had somewhat different superpowers in the comic books, from subtle tweaks to completely new abilities. Originally written by My Chemical Romance's Gerard WayThe Umbrella Academy is set in a world where a group of women randomly give birth to children with special powers. 7 of these kids are adopted by the mysterious Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and he forms them into the Umbrella Academy superhero team, who earn a worldwide following thanks to their superhero exploits.

Fast-forward to The Umbrella Academy's modern day, the Hargreeves siblings are fractured and alone, with only Luther staying loyal to their adopted father. As adults around the age of 30 (Number 5 excluded, of course), the Academy look back on their superhero days with regret and either use their powers questionably or don't use them at all. The Netflix adaptation is a fairly loose take on the source material, with the live-action series greatly toning down the outright weirdness of the original story and characters. This alteration is keenly reflected in the Academy's various superpowers which, although broadly the same, have additional elements in the comic series.

Luther - Luther's abilities arguably change the least between The Umbrella Academy's 2 variants, but the source of his power certainly does. On TV, Luther is critically injured and Reginald injects him with a serum that saves his life at the cost of taking on ape-like qualities. Originally, however, Luther's mishap took place on Mars, and so his head was physically removed and grafted onto the body of a Martian ape. As in the TV series, the procedure adds to Luther's already enhanced strength and endurance.

Diego - Netflix fans will know that Diego's strength lies in manipulating thrown objects in ways that defy the laws of physics, however, the comic character's supernatural power is actually holding his breath underwater for an indefinite period, with the knife-throwing skill discovered later. Even Reginald deems Diego's super lungs practically useless, but it's for this reason that the character's codename is "The Kraken," despite the TV version having no real connection to water.

Allison - Allison in printed form is far more powerful than her counterpart on-screen. Emmy Raver-Lampman's character can manipulate a person with her voice, making them believe anything she wants, or forcing them to act in a certain way. This is a considerable level-down from the original power of The Rumor, whose words could actually warp reality. If comic Allison says something, even an impossibility, her power will make it so.

Klaus The Umbrella Academy on TV has already demonstrated how Klaus' abilities have potential for growth, and there's plenty of comic powers that he could learn, in addition to seeing and speaking to dead people. Klaus levitates in the comics, and is also able to communicate via the airwaves, appearing on TV screens and such. Klaus' additional psychic powers on the page extend to telekinesis and the possession of others.

Number 5 - With the ability to time travel (tricky as it is) and perform short hops through space during battles, Number 5's capabilities are consistent through both comics and TV. The only major difference is that Klaus claims the Commission taught him to be an assassin, whereas the comic version of the organization mixed his DNA with that of historic serial killers for added pizzazz.

Ben - Since Ben is dead in both the original and live-action stories, the full extent of his powers is hard to gauge accurately. Certainly, they are presented in a similar way, with tentacles emanating from Ben's body, but The Umbrella Academy season 2 may showcase some different monsters Ben is able to summon.

Vanya - Contrary to Allison, Vanya is arguably even more powerful on Netflix. Both versions of the White Violin use sound as a destructive force and, even in the comics, Reginald suppresses Vanya's abilities because he recognizes her as the strongest sibling. However, comic Vanya seems limited to using her violin, whereas Ellen Page's character can use any sound wave as a weapon. Furthermore, The Conductor claims his piece of music combined with Vanya's powers are what triggers the apocalypse, not Vanya alone.
