The Umbrella Academy Review

The Daily Groundhog

Devin and Keith discuss the Awesomeness and Weirdness of "The Umbrella Academy", a new show on Netflix (which actually came out in February, 2019)

The Umbrella Academy is unlike any other superhero show on Netflix, or anywhere else for that matter. It has a talking chimpanzee, killer music cues, blood-soaked teen crime-fighters, and even a timeless gay romance. But as different as Umbrella Academy is from, say, all the superhero shows on Netflix or The CW, this kooky super show still has the one thing comic fans love about all of this stuff: superpowers!

All the Umbrella Academy heroes have powers, but they’re not your typical super-skills. Seriously, this show doesn’t do anything in the expected way. No one on this team is just a speedster or stretchy person like countless other characters. Every Academy member has a bizarre ability or, if they have a gift you’ve seen before, the show gives you a funky twist on it.

Because of the show’s unusual vibe and large cast, it may be hard to figure out who has what power. On top of that, there are plenty of power-related spoilers that confuse matters even more. Oh, also, spoiler warning for some of these entries! Without further ado, here’s your guide to the powers of the Umbrella Academy.
