** ''Dallas'': [[PsychopathicManchild Hazel and Cha-Cha]] are a pair of [[PsychoForHire psychopathic assassins]] who use their occupation to murder people [[ForTheEvulz for sadistic kicks]]. Sent by Temps Aeternalis to kill rogue agent Number Five, the two torture the diner owner to death by [[AnArmAndALeg cutting off all his limbs]] - all for a pie recipe - while abusing his waitress. Kidnapping Five's brother, Klaus Hargreeves, the two torture him for Five's whereabouts and then kill Klaus when he contacts Spaceboy for help; they later knock out Spaceboy, believing to have killed him. The two then decide to celebrate their victory by activating a nuclear bomb, [[OmnicidalManiac hoping to destroy the world]].

* FridgeBrilliance:
** Kraken's useless power makes more sense when viewed as part of the 'set'. [[spoiler:When your group has an avalanche/tsunami/earthquake hazard like the White Violin (who fights by sending massive vibrations throughout all surrounding matter) around, it's really useful to have someone who won't suffocate and can dig the others out.]]

* CompleteMonster:
** Hazel and Cha-Cha are especially monstrous. When a cook jokes that he wouldn't give up the recipe for his apple pie "even if you cut my arms and legs off," they oblige. For shits and giggles. Then they just get annoyed when he finally tells them the recipe because they've already forgotten why they cut the poor guy up in the first place, they were enjoying the dismemberment too much.
** Dr. Terminal is no slouch either. He could apparently consume any matter to keep his disease in remission, but seemed to like the taste of human beings more than anything.
** The Academy's founder, Sir Reginald Hargreeves. He snatched up seven babies who could have been taken in by normal people and led healthy lives. Instead, they're stuck growing up with a man who allows them little-to-no personal freedom so he can risk their lives for his own boasting, verbally abusing them in between.

* NoYay: The teased pairing of [[spoiler: Luther and Allison]].

* CompleteMonster: Hazel and Cha-Cha are especially monstrous. When a cook jokes that he wouldn't give up the recipe for his apple pie "even if you cut my arms and legs off," they oblige. For shits and giggles.

* NightmareFuel: The flashback where it's revealed that Dr. Terminal [[spoiler: ate The Rumour's arm.]] The ball gag and pedophilic overtones don't help.
** [[spoiler:"Little girls just taste so much better than prison guards."]]

* {{Squick}}: Hazel and Cha-Cha.

** Dr. Terminal is no slouch either. He could apparently consume any matter to keep his disease in remission, but seemed to like the taste of human beings more than anything. And his robotic servants, the Terminauts... well, when they appear on the scene, they get the Umbrella Academy's attention by vaporizing a carnival. InfantImmortality is horribly averted.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Vanya]] becomes one in ''Apocalypse Suite.''

* CompleteMonster: Most of the series' villains take this form, but Hazel and Cha-Cha are especially monstrous. When a cook jokes that he wouldn't give up the recipe for his apple pie "even if you cut my arms and legs off," they oblige. For shits and giggles.
