The Umbrella Academy

 

It was the same year "Tueslin' Tom" Gurney knocked out the space-squid from Rigel X-9.

It happened at 9:38 p.m. It came from an atomic flying elbow. And in that moment without warning and in an occurrence of complete coincidence forty-three extraordinary children were born to mostly single women, who had shown no signs of pregnancy, in seemingly random locations around the world. The children were either abandoned or put up for adoption....the ones who survived.

​

Enter, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a.k.a. The Monocle

​

World-renowned scientist and wealthy entrepreneur. Inventor of the Televator, the Levitator, The Mobile Umbrella, Communicator and Clever Crisp Cereal. Olympic Gold Medalist and recipient of his Nobel Prize for his work in the cerebral advancement of the chimpanzee.

 

For reasons unknown, Sir Reginald set out with his bodygaurd Abhijat aboard his private vessel, The Minerva...rumored to be powered by the remains of King Amen-Kharej TV. Using methods undisclosed he sought to track down and adopt as many of the children as he could. 

​

He only found seven of them.

​

Wiping their identities and concealing the children from the world, Sire Reginald held a press conference in Stockholm in which a journalist Cosime De'Lostrono from Milan asked, "Why have you adopted these seven children?"

​

To this, Hargreeves replied, "TO SAVE THE WORLD, OF COURSE."
