In the Umbrella Academy comics, Pogo is far from the only chimp to appear. Chimpanzees are regular citizens and live amounts the human population, working jobs like Body the police officer/drummer. This is because Reginald Hargreeves (The Monocle) pioneered the advancement of chimpanzees, earning him a Nobel peace prize. This is amoung his many inventions, and reasons why he is a billionare.

Some of his other inventions include the televator, an invention that makes teleportation between any elevators possible, the mobile umbrella communicator, and the levitator, which the academy uses to fly during missions.

(Spoilers!) Luther (Spaceboy) and Alison (The Rumour) while being close, didn’t always have a romantic relationship. This changes in the fifth issue of The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, when they share a moment on the rooftop of the academy. Alison then whispers in his ear, rumoring him into wanting to kiss her, and then they do so. From then onward, they motivate each other to keep fighting, and have what is arguably a stronger and more special relationship than anyone.

(Spoilers!) In The Umbrella Academy: Dallas issue #3, it is revealed that before and during his time spent working at the commission, Number Five underwent a series of gruesome and difficult surgery’s performed by the commissions surgical team. These operations fused his DNA with those of the most notorious and cold-blooded killers in history in order to try to make him a better assassin.

(Spoilers!) In The Umbrella Academy: Dallas issue #3, it is revealed that Number Five and Luther (Spaceboy) are actually twins, and the only twins of the forty-three women. And when the commission needs Allison (The Rumour) and Five (The Boy) to comply with a mission, they threaten the life of the mother of Five and Luther before they were born to do it.

So, because the story says “forty-three women around the world gave birth”, and one of them gave birth to the twins, this means that there are actually up to forty-four children. So we shouldn’t be asking “Who and where are the other thirty-six children?” We should be asking “Who and where are the other thirty-SEVEN?” This is of course assuming that the show keeps this detail. However, the comic specifies that it was forty-three children, not women. Interesting that they phrase it so uniquely and specifically in the show though…

So, keep this in mind as we await season two!
