I consider the comic versions of the characters wildly different people from the show (they're all much worse people). Thus, this is a fancast for the COMIC VERSION of the characters; not a replacement for the show or something. And I'm not limiting ethnicity either, I'm just going for the appropriate degrees of asshole vibes. Love the show and its cast! 43 children are randomly born around the world to women who were not pregnant beforehand. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur, adopts seven of them. The children grow up to have superpowers, and thus are trained to act as The Umbrella Academy, a team of superheroes, for their childhood and teenagehood; before the Hargreeves siblings leave and lead their lives. Years later, they reunite for their father's funeral — and to stop the apocalypse.
