“You’ve got Jason Momoa doing that a hundred times better anyway,” he said. But moving a knife through the air – an extension of that is then being able to manipulate bullets through the air.”ĭuring a season 2 set visit, Diego actor David Castañeda told Den of Geek that the show had ultimately decided against incorporating that power for the character. As I go through seasons we’ll see more of that. “Basically he likes throwing, so he can throw his knife and he can make it go in weird, odd curvatures and directions. “If you think about Diego’s power, he can, with his mind, control the trajectory of objects,” Blackman says. Then the finale of season 2 reveals that that mastery in knife-throwing extends to the manipulation of any kind of projectile when he stops a barrage of bullets with his hands, Matrix-style. Number Two’s power had previously been understood as a supernatural skill for knife-throwing. Number Two – Diegoĭiego gets the biggest power evolution in season 2 of all his siblings. But when he’s all charged up on adrenaline, pity the Soviet soldier who tries to shoot him. When he feels emotionally vulnerable – so too is his body. Perhaps Luther’s mental state is important to the application of his strength. His body is strong enough to stop a Soviet RPG but weak enough to bleed from some well-placed punches in a bare-knuckle brawl. Though there are some interesting inconsistencies with how his super strength is applied. Our understanding of Luther’s power doesn’t progress much in season 2. Luther has always been strong and that strength seemingly magnified when he was injected with gorilla DNA to save his life. Luther’s super power is basically the most generic, entry-level ability imaginable: super strength. Because Luther, however useful he might be, has arguably the most unremarkable super power. Hargreeves was suffering from a severe lack of imagination. Per comic book lore, Reginald Hargreeves numbered his “children” by how useful they were to him.

With that in mind, let’s run down The Umbrella Academy’s powers and how they evolve in the show’s second season. As season 2 reveals, the Hargreeves might have some tricks up their sleeves that even they didn’t know about. That’s rough for The Umbrella Academy as individuals but exciting for dedicated fans of the show. “All of them stopped their training in their adolescence when the family broke up, and they are still learning about their powers and their powers are still evolving.”
