The Umbrella Academy reveals the reason behind Sir Reginald calling his children by numbers and it is is not what you think.

REVEALED: Why Reginald Hargeeves Called &#8216;The Umbrella Academy&#8217; by Numbers

The Umbrella Academy is one of the most delightfully-weird superheroes shows
right now. Its unique ability to combine humor, familial relationship, and
superhero stuff together has made it extremely popular among the viewers. One of
the key narratives involves the adoptive father and the strenuous relationship
between him and his kids.



Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopted the seven kids born with supernatural powers in
1989 to nurture them and use them as a weapon to save the world. Although these
siblings have names, Reginald tends to call them by their numbers. Many fans
have wondered the reason behind it and many have concluded that it’s because
they aren’t a real family. However, now we know the exact reason. 


SIR REGINALD JUST CAN’T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES 

You’d expect Sir Reginald to know his adoptive kids’ names by heart after all
these years. But no, the old man just cannot remember who’s who. It’s easier for
him to identify them as just numbers. The show’s Twitter handle recently shared
a clip of Klaus Hargreeves barging into his adoptive father’s study and Sir
Reginald is completely perplexed. He can’t recall his name. He simply asks him,
“Which one are you?”.

It’s both hilarious and a little sad considering how much the Umbrellas want to
bond with their father.

Klaus, in particular, spent a good amount of time with Reginald this season. He
came to know that he hasn’t tapped into his full potential. So, he trains with
this relatively mild version of Reginald to hone his powers. Reginald throws him
in front of a bus again and again and it’s finally revealed that Klaus has the
ability to come back from death.

Netflix hasn’t picked up The Umbrella Academy

But if it does come back, Robert Sheehan, who plays Klaus, thinks

his character would go back to his self-destructive self as a “coping mechanism”
to deal with the loss of his powers.
