History Characters / TheUmbrellaAcademy2019SupportingCast

* HateSink: While he does have a tragic backstory, he was still a sinister, manipulative, and murderous sociopath who wanted to turn Viktor against his family for his own self-absorbed and exploitative gains to commit vengeance.

* HappilyMarried: Five is a traumatized mess anthropomorphizing a mannequin to stave off unbearable loneliness in an apocalypse. But he cares for her dearly and their relationship is surprisingly engaging, considering.

!!Dr. Phineas Pogo

* TheBarber: Reappears as a barber in the afterlife and gives Klaus a shave; true to the trope, he uses this as an opportunity to rant at length about his visitor's shortcomings while Klaus is having his face lathered up. Funnily enough, as frustrating as the discussion was, Klaus later admits that the shave itself was "fantastic."

* BewareTheQuietOnes: No one expects Herb to be anything more than a pencil-pusher. [[spoiler:He not only helps Diego find out what happened on Doomsday but leads a resistance. Though Lila scares him about letting Diego leave, Herb seems to consider that Worthit]].

** Interestingly, there are some hints that he saw ''Five'' as his favorite. Five was the only one whose powers impressed him, and his past self gives him genuinely helpful advice on his powers. When talking about their training, Five is surprised that the others were held in such low regard, as Reginald always gave ''him'' full marks.

* ProperlyParanoid: After it's apparently been established that sending Luther to the Moon was just Sir Reginald's way of sending him into exile, it turns out the apocalypse Sir Reginald feared so much ''did'' come from the Moon, [[spoiler:specifically from Viktor blowing it up and bringing the chunks tumbling down to the Earth.]] Whether Sir Reginald actually knew this, and whether Luther actually could've stopped it had he been there, remains unknown. Season 2 adds more fuel to the question of whether he knew, [[spoiler:as he specifically made his deal with the Majestic 12 to give the United States a boost in the space race as a means to get dedicated information on the dark side of the Moon]].

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: He is shown to have been both more affectionate[[labelnote:*]] For example, when Klaus finds him in the afterlife, he makes a genuine attempt to connect and communicate with him. In the comics, he merely glares at Klaus in contempt and refuses to utter a word.[[/labelnote]]and more callous[[labelnote:*]] In the comics, he sends Luther to space to satisfy Luther's own ambitions - in fact, its the only time Hargreeves attempts to be a good father. In the show its purely to get rid of him.[[/labelnote]] in his treatment of the children than in the comics. In general, the discovery that he was an even bigger Jerkass than previously thought is a reoccurring plot element in the show, compared to the comics where everyone has generally stopped getting surprised.
** The change is possibly best exemplified when Hargreeves [[spoiler: profusingly begs Luther to forgive him for murdering him whilst doing so]] - while in the comics, Hargreeves would never do either.
