Netflix opens up The Umbrella Academy with a new look at Ellen Page and her super-siblings

Disney is going to be taking its Marvel movies back from Netflix when it launches its own streaming service, and while that supposedly won’t impact Netflix’s originals like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, Netflix is still looking to prove that it doesn’t need Marvel to make a superhero adaptation. That’s where The Umbrella Academy—an adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s comic series of the same name—comes in. We previously heard that Ellen Page would be appearing in the show, but now Netflix has offered up clear looks at every member of the eponymous superhero team/adopted family along with some images from the show itself.

First, the backstory: In the comic, The Umbrella Academy is about a man named Sir Reginald Hargreeves who adopted seven children, who all have superpowers. As kids, he gave them all codenames made them into a superhero team, which kind of turned them into fucked-up adults. The main storyline takes place after Hargreeves—who calls himself The Monocle—has died, prompting his adopted children to reunite. Up above and just below this are a couple of photos of the whole family, including (surprisingly enough), the family’s super-intelligent chimpanzee friend Dr. Pogo.

And here’s each member of the gang, numbered in order of importance by The Monocle:

Spaceboy/Luther has super-strength, and in the comic his head is grafted onto the body of an alien gorilla. It’s unclear if that’s the case here, but he does seem to have a bulky jacket in every shot.
