While The Umbrella Academy offers us a glimpse into its alternate history, there’s a lot we don’t know about its billionaire-industrialist-turned-founding father. But, as it turns out, some information on Mr. Hargreeves—like his official title—was released through author Gerard Way’s Twitter account (conveniently enough). According to Way, Mr. Hargreeves was an adoptive father to seven children with special powers after their biological parents died during or after childbirth.

As adults, those children formed The Umbrella Academy and became famous superheroes.

The Umbrella Academy takes place in an alternate timeline. In 2017, forty-one children were born around the world with identical features and abilities. The children were dubbed umbrellas by their German doctor, Dr. Klaus Hermann Schröder (Jackie Earle Haley), who believed they were part of a master race.[18] The umbrellas were subsequently adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore), who named them after stage names he used in his career as a movie actor:[19]

Is five Sir Reginald Hargreeves?

Five, yes. As far as we can tell, though, he doesn’t have any superpowers himself. He created the Hargreeves Academy to discover what set his children apart from others in terms of their abilities.[8] In addition to training them physically and academically, he also trained them psychologically to help keep control over their powers.[9] Even so, he struggles with keeping his children under control at times. For example, Luther comes into conflict with his father over abandoning Vanya during a mission.

Is Reginald Hargreeves a human?

Some fans have postulated that The Monocle, who is listed as being a philanthropist, could actually be an alien. After all, as one fan notes on Reddit : Aliens can’t exactly visit Earth very often in The Umbrella Academy’s timeline because it would startle humans. So instead of visiting with some regularity, which would surely lead to him being recognized by someone at some point, he probably only visits when he needs to. And there are other clues pointing toward his extraterrestrial origins… Since Sir Reginald Hargreeves’ death at age 64 in 2019 (in our reality), there are no public records of his existence; but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist in another universe.

Is Sir Reginald Hargreeves alive?

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, actor Colm Feore, who plays The Monocle, revealed that his character is actually alive in an alternate timeline. In ours he’s dead, Feore said. But there’s a parallel universe in which he was still alive and he founded [the Umbrella Academy]. So you see these characters from when they were children to adults. It’s really interesting because it has all these themes running through it — time travel, alternate universes… It really is quite science-fictiony. But then we ground it in reality by having these family dynamics.

Is Reginald Hargreeves not human?

Upon first reading The Umbrella Academy, you may think that all of its quirky characters are human. However, it is later revealed that at least one isn’t. Is Sir Reginald Hargreeves an alien? Or was he simply born with strange mutations? Or did he use genetic engineering to alter his own body? It’s hard to say—but what we do know is that Mr. Monocle has always been very concerned about extraterrestrial life and has spent a great deal of time protecting Earth from potential threats (see issue 3). That said, there is evidence to suggest he may not be totally human… such as his white hair.

What is Five’s real name?

Five’s real name is Hargreeves. The Umbrella Academy was given to Five by his adoptive father, who said that Luther had shown a lot of promise when he was young; so much promise, in fact, that it might have been considered a miracle. It is revealed that Five suffers from an unspecified mental illness which sometimes leaves him catatonic, prone to violent outbursts, and deathly afraid of light. His coping mechanism is to take up odd hobbies that interest him for months at a time (usually chemistry or science-related) until his interest starts waning again. He keeps them all in what he calls a Hobby Table (essentially shelf space).

What does 5 say to Reginald in Greek?

This is not intended to be a valid translation. What exactly is said depends on context, although it will always involve some form of five. This can reference Vaya con dios or V-5, both of which are Spanish phrases that are used to say goodbye (Go with God), similar to other language translations such as Allāhu Akbar in Arabic, or Amén in Hebrew. The number 5 has a similar usage in Hebrew, where there is no word for five; instead one uses expressions such as hamesh, meaning hand, thus it’s sometimes written as 5 in Hebrew numerals, rather than 5. In French, it could mean either  (goodbye) or  (this is five), depending on context.

Who was the baby born in the pool Umbrella Academy?

The baby was born in a pool at a hotel on New Year’s Eve, 1999. But it is not clear who his biological parents are; he was given up for adoption by someone close to him with seemingly no knowledge of his abilities. At some point in his life, he was kidnapped by Cain and Abel, the two sons of Academy member The Handler (Allison). The Monocle appears to be keeping an eye on him as well; when asked why he didn’t intervene while they were kidnapping him, The Monocle replied that it was too early. He also told Vanya that her brother is a very complicated young man, implying that there is something special about him.

Why did Reginald Hargreeves turn into an alien?

In Dallas, it is revealed that he accidentally injected himself with a serum, but it wasn’t revealed what kind of serum or why he was doing that. In Requiem, it’s explained that his heart couldn’t handle his high blood pressure anymore, so he made a cloning machine to create perfect copies of himself while having his memories implanted into them. Since you can only have one clone at a time being active, there was no way to know which clone was which when they were all injected with the same memories. He solved that problem by marking himself with an X on one arm and a circle on another arm (an upside-down G) in case something like him going insane happened again, though clearly not well enough to keep all his clones alive for very long.
