Number Five erred slightly, however, sending the Hargreeves far back in time, depositing the members of the Umbrella Academy clan across early 1960s Dallas, Texas, forcing the scattered siblings to make new lives for themselves without the superhero costumes, expectations, and respective reputations that defined and constrained their lives as teens and adults.
For Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), that meant leaving her mind-control superpower behind, working in a beauty salon, getting married, and more importantly, becoming a civil rights activist. For former No. 1 Luther (Tom Hopper), life without his siblings, especially long-time crush Allison, meant taking a job as a bodyguard, bouncer, and fight club participant (he’s still working on his Ph.D. in Brooding), while the more recently arrived Diego (David Castañeda), leans into his messiah/savior complex, attempts to warn the local authorities of John F. Kennedy’s pending assassination, and promptly gets thrown into the local mental hospital.
