«We’re different than everyone else. We’re special. And good or bad, that means we don’t get to live normal lives. Here or anywhere.«

—Luther Hargreeves^[src]

Luther Hargreeves, originally codenamed Number One, is one of the forty-three children who were all born on the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989 to mothers without any previous signs of pregnancy. Luther was one of the seven babies adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves with the intention of training them to save the world. Ranked by their individual usefulness, Luther was Hargreeves’ Number One and the leader of The Umbrella Academy. He used to possess superhuman strength and durability.

Luther was the only member of the Academy who did not leave and who continued to loyally serve Sir Reginald, although he sank into a lonely depression without the others around. When sent on a solo mission to stop a biochemical threat, Luther is critically injured and Sir Reginald is forced to use a serum to save his life. The serum gave Luther an ape-like physiology, greatly increasing his muscle mass and strength. In an effort to give him focus, Sir Reginald sends him to the moon to supposedly watch out for extraterrestrial threats, and Luther lives alone in seclusion on the moon base for four years while sending regular reports back to his father.

Following Sir Reginald’s death, Luther is summoned back to Earth and comes to believe their father was murdered. As events unfold, Luther finds out that Sir Reginald never read any of the reports he sent back, and subsequently believes that he was a failure and was sent away for not being a good enough Number One, which takes a massive toll on his self-confidence.

Having been caught up in Five’s failed attempt at dodging Viktor’s apocalypse, Luther finds himself in Dallas, 1962. It is here he works as a driver for the owner of a burlesque bar, and occasionally uses his super strength to win rigged fights in underground boxing rings.

Biography

Early life

Like the rest of the Umbrella Academy members, «Number One» was born on October 1, 1989, and adopted by the billionaire inventor Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Raised by their robot mother Grace, and run through brutal training by Reginald to be child superheroes, Luther wholeheartedly embraced their responsibilities and his role as leader of the team. Painfully loyal to their father figure, he was the only one who stayed behind after all of the others left and abandoned the Academy.

Reginald’s secret

After Luther’s inadvertent monstrous transformation to save his life, he was sent away to the moon by Reginald. During his four years alone on the moon, he wasted away in loneliness and depression and social isolation.

When Luther returned back to Earth upon his father’s death, he was shocked to find that Reginald had been ignoring all of the reports that Luther had sent back to Earth; he realized that the mission was nothing more than busywork to keep him out of the way, and this dealt a crippling blow to his self-esteem as a proud superhero and former leader of the team.^[13]

Relationship with Allison

Luther and Allison have always been best friends and extremely close since childhood; Viktor’s memoir mentions them as children vanishing into a private world and communicating in their own secret language. It becomes visibly clear that there is a connection between them; neither of them can deny it and the rest of the Academy is aware of it, but the pair never acted on their feelings.

After their father’s death, however, their reunion brings them closer again. When Allison finds Luther distraught over his recent discovery surrounding his father and the pointlessness of his mission, she comforts him. The two later dance and in the midst of the moment, share a kiss. Allison invites Luther to catch the flight home to California with her to meet her daughter Claire, and he accepts.^[13]

After this timeline is redone, however, Klaus finds Luther in his time of need instead of Allison, and so they never experienced this moment and Luther’s descent into turmoil begins.^[14]

The First Apocalypse

The Academy eventually learns that Viktor will be responsible for the impending apocalypse that Number Five time jumped back from the future to prevent. In an attempt to avert that disaster, Luther knocks out Viktor and places him in a sound isolation chamber while the Academy tries to decide what to do.

Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Luther, this isolation chamber is a particular trigger for Viktor. They fully become the White Violin, destroy the Hargreeves mansion, killing Pogo and Grace, and escapes. By not trusting Viktor, Luther inadvertently causes the exact apocalypse they were trying to stop, and the Academy barely escapes by jumping through time with Five’s powers, which leaves them accidentally stranded in the 1960s.

Dallas and the second apocalypse

After Five fails to protect the Umbrella Academy from the apocalypse, Luther finds himself transported to Dallas, 1962, where he builds up a life working for the gangster Jack Ruby. He fights regularly for him in an underground boxing-ring, and takes to the man as a mentor and replacement father figure.

Luther quickly becomes dissatisfied with his life, however, when he bumps into Viktor and realizes that all of his family are not dead as he had initially believed. He apologizes to Viktor despite their amnesia, then asks Jack to find Allison for him, and he successfully does so. This doesn’t end well for Luther, however, as when he visits Allison’s house he meets Raymond Chestnut, Allison’s husband, and learns all about the life she has built for herself without him.

Luther later bumps into Number Five, who tells him about the second apocalypse they have caused by encroaching on the timeline in which they do not belong — as a result, they need to find a way back home. Still deflated about his own status as a failed superhero and feeling cynical about the Academy, Luther is initially reluctant to go along with Five’s plans to reunite the family.

Luther’s mind is changed, however, when he bumps into Allison on the street and the two get talking about the lives they’ve built for themselves. Luther tells Allison about the apocalypse and the two agree that they must try and help Five restore the timeline.

After a while, Luther is able to reunite his family with Five’s help, and the Umbrella Academy agree to return to their own time and restore the timeline. When he arrives back in 2019 with the rest of his family, however, he is faced with a shocking discovery: the Umbrella Academy no longer exists, having been replaced with the Sparrow Academy, and Luther is no longer «Number One».^[11]

Personality

Luther is a loving, protective and righteous individual. He is shown to immediately throw himself in harm’s way and act as a shield in dangerous situations and is shown to have a firm belief in right and wrong. He was the only one of his siblings to stay at the academy and continue his work as a superhero, trusting his father’s commands implicitly. Luther is shown to define himself as the leader of the Umbrella Academy and as his father’s «Number One», taking his role very seriously and devoting his life to his father’s cause. As a result, he never left the Umbrella Academy or developed a life outside of it, becoming isolated and sheltered. He notably mentions that he never even had friends due to his dedication. As a result, he has a somewhat naive, almost childlike aspect to him. When he discovers his father has never read his reports from the moon, he is devastated and lost, feeling he wasted his life and causing him to spiral out of control and lash out by going to a rave, taking drugs and getting drunk.

Appearance

Luther is a tall Caucasian man, standing at 6’5″. He generally keeps his dark blonde hair cut short, accompanied by a five-o-clock shadow.

After being administered an experimental serum to treat a life-threatening injury, Luther’s body took on a more simian appearance. While his legs grew a thick coating of dark fur, the effects of the serum were most apparent on his upper body: his torso and arms became broader and bulkier, with leathery hairy skin akin to that of a gorilla. To hide his ape-like appearance, Luther would wear high-necked shirts and fingerless gloves.

In the reset timeline, Luther’s body has been restored to its original state, being muscular but with more human proportions.^[15]

Powers and Abilities

Luther currently does not have any powers after the reset of the universe.^[15][16]

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: Luther possessed immense strength, which was further amplified by his ape-like physiology. As a child, he could easily lift and throw a fully grown adult across a room and through a window. His strength was enough to raise a 1000lb farm truck off Diego’s trapped leg. Upon returning back to life in the reset universe, Luther was shocked to find that not only was his body back to normal, but that he no longer possessed his super strength.
  • Enhanced Resilience: Luther possessed an extremely resilience body, which was further amplified by his ape-like physiology. He was able to shrug off most physical impacts during combat, and could even take the full weight of a falling chandelier without injury. Luther is not invulnerable, however, as Diego managed to cut him with a knife and draw blood, and he is shown to hide from bullets. In the alternate timeline in 1963 when everyone’s abilities, his body is able to survive a direct blast from a missile/bazooka.

Abilities

• Expert Leadership: Although he later suffers a crippling lack of self-confidence and gives up on his role as a leader, Luther does have expertise in strategy, tactics, and leadership. He’s able to strategize the group’s abilities, give orders to execute a mission, and often throws himself into danger to protect his teammates.
• Expert Combatant: Although he’s not as skilled as Diego or Five, Luther has shown to have expertise in unarmed combat, throughout both seasons, and mostly uses his super strength to battle his opponents.

After Five fails to protect the Umbrella Academy from the apocalypse, Luther finds himself transported to Dallas, 1962, where he builds up a life under the guise of Jack Ruby. He fights regularly for him in an underground boxing-ring in exchange for mentoring and a father figure.

Luther quickly becomes dissatisfied with his life, however, when he bumps into Vanya and realizes that all of his family are not dead as he had initially believed. He asks Jack to find Allison for him, and he successfully does so. This doesn’t end well for Luther, however, as when he visits Allison’s house he bumps into Raymond Chestnut, Allison’s husband, and learns all about the life she has built for herself without him.

Luther later bumps into Number Five, who tells him about the second apocalypse they have caused by encroching on the timeline in which they do not belong — as a result, they need to find a way back home. Luther is initially reluctant to go along with Five’s plans to reunite his family after finding out about Allison, and believes that he is best placed where he is and where he has built a life for himself.

Luther’s mind is changed, however, when he bumps into Allison on the street and the two get talking about the lives they’ve built for themselves. Luther tells Allison about the apocalypse and the two agree that they must try and help Five restore the timeline; Luther begins struggling with his feelings for Allison again, however.

After a while, Luther is able to reunite his family with Five’s help, and the Umbrella Academy agree to return to their own time and restore the timeline. When he arrives back in 2019 with the rest of his family, however, he is faced with a shocking discovery: he is no longer «Number One».^[3]

Personality

Luther is a loving, protective and righteous individual. He is shown to immediately throw himself in harm’s way and act as a shield in dangerous situations and is shown to have a firm belief in right and wrong. He was the only of his siblings to stay at the academy and continue his work as a superhero, trusting his father’s commands implicitly. Luther is shown to define himself as the leader of the Umbrella Academy and as his father’s «Number 1» taking his role very seriously and devoting his life to his father’s cause. As a result, he never left the Umbrella Academy or developed a life outside of it, becoming isolated and sheltered. He notable mentions that he never even had friends due to his devotion. As a result, he has a somewhat naive, almost childlike aspect to him. When he discovers his father has never read his reports from the moon, he is devastated and lost, feeling he wasted his life and causing him to spiral out of control and lash out by going to a rave, taking drugs and getting drunk.

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: Luther possesses immense strength, which was further amplified by his new ape-like physiology. As a child, he could easily lift and throw a fully grown adult across a room and through a window. His strength is enough to lift up slightly a farm truck off for Diego trapped leg as a results of at least 1,000lbs he can lift up.
• Enhanced Resilience: Luther possesses an extremely resilience body, which was further amplified by his new ape-like physiology. He is able to shrug off most physical impacts during combat, and could even take the full weight of a falling chandelier without injury. Luther is not invulnerable, however, as Diego managed to cut him with a knife and draw blood, and he is shown to hide from bullets. Though his body was enough to survive a missile from 1963 without much injury.

детство и о учение в академии.

Лютер родился 1 октября 1989 года, как и остальные члены академии. он так же был усыновлен Реджинальдом Харгривзом и воспитывался в академии «Амбрелла», где и развивал свои силы и участвовал в миссиях.

была взаимная влюбленность с Эллисон, которую Лютер смог пронести сквозь долгие годы.

после обучения в академии.

Лютер был единственным, кто остался с отцом и продолжал выполнять миссии. во время выполнения одной из таких он получил тяжелые травмы, практически не совместимые с жизнью. для спасения сына Реджинальд ввел ему сыворотку, в результате чего Лютер остался жив, но приобрел тело (торс и руки) гориллы.

позднее номер один был отправлен отцом на Луну для предотвращения биологической опасности. на Луне Лютер пробыл 4 года.

первый апокалипсис.

Номер Один приезжает на похороны отца, где ему приходится задержаться.

после просмотра Эллисон пленки, на которой было видно, как перед смертью Реджинальда робот принесла ему чай, Лютер высказывается за отключение андроида. его мнение поддерживает Эллисон.

позже на академию нападают Хейзел и Ча-Ча. Лютер, Эллисон и Диего дают им отпор.

через некоторое время Лютер обнаруживает все свои посылки, что присылал с Луны, не тронутыми. он разочаровывается во всем, что делал, и решает «оторваться»: напиться и принять наркотики.

позднее Лютер принимает участие в спасении мира от апокалипсиса. и, как это понятно, неудачно.

Лютер решает на собирать мелочь и доехать до дома отца, но тот не пожелал с ним разговаривать.

остальную академию он не смог найти, из-за чего решил начать новую жизнь и стал участвовать в боксерских поединках под «покровительством» своего босса, чьи указания он всегда выполнял.

в клубе Лютер встречает Пятого, который сообщает о новом апокалипсисе. но Лютер действовать не хочет.

позднее Лютера пыталась уговорить и Ваня, но и на её уговоры он не согласился.

на этом все. если есть замечания или добавления, пишите об этом в комментариях.

1 октября 1989 года в разных частях мира одновременно появилось на свет 43 ребенка, обладающих суперспособностями. Семь из них были усыновлены эксцентричным миллиардером Харгривзом, который создал для них «Академию Амбрелла». Реджинальд присвоил каждому ребенку номер и давайте познакомимся с каждым из них.

 

Номер Один / Лютер Харгривз

Лидер отряда супердетей. Получил прозвище «Космобой», потому что стал самым молодым космонавтом. Однажды отправился в космическое путешествие на Марс, но был ранен и его голову прикрепили к телу обезьяны. После операции Лютер обрел недюжинную физическую силу и обезьяньи рефлексы.

Номер Два / Диего Харгривз

У Диего с детства не сложились отношения с отцом из-за его строгости. Номер Два покинул семью и записался в полицейскую академию, но его выгнали. Тем не менее, Диего решил бороться с преступностью, став уличным супергероем, решая проблемы не всегда законными методами.

После смерти Харгривза парень вернулся в Академию и стал помогать своим братьям и сестрам бороться со злом. Хотя в оригинальной серии комиксов Диего мог задерживать дыхание, в сериале этой способностью обладает Клаус. Зато Номер Два искусно метает ножи и может менять траекторию их полета.

Номер Три / Эллисон Харгривз

Эллисон – знаменитая актриса, способная изменять события. Ей достаточно сказать слова: «До меня дошел слух…» и события становились реальными. Еще при жизни основателя Академии он заставил Номер Три применить свою способность на Ваню, когда ее сверхсила стала опасной. Таким образом девочка забыла о своей способности.

После смерти Харгривза Эллисон вернулась в Академию, она была рада видеть всех своих братьев и сестер. Особенно Лютера, с которым в юности у них было романтическое влечение. Девушка продолжила сражаться вместе с другими членами «Амбреллы». У нее осталась дочь, которую она часто навещала.

Номер Четыре / Клаус Харгривз

Клаус эксцентричный наркоман, который только и делает, что развлекается, много курит и пьет. Его способность – призывать мертвых и говорить с ними, он также может делать их видимыми для других людей. Клаус боится своей способности и старается использовать ее по-минимуму, отказывая каждому, кто просит вызвать духа без необходимости. Номер Четыре также может надолго задерживать дыхание.

Номер Пять

Еще будучи подростком, Номер Пять сбежал от Реджинальда Харгривза посредством своей способности – перемещения во времени. Прыгнув несколько раз, парень очутился в будущем, там он узнал, что наступил апокалипсис. В руинах города Номер Пять нашел всех членов Академии, которые были мертвы.

Мальчик не скоро вернулся в настоящее и рассказал братьям и сестрам, что через восемь дней случится апокалипсис. Другие члены Академии выслушали его и принялись делать все, чтобы конца света не произошло.

Номер Шесть / Бен Харгривз

Бен умеет призывать из параллельного измерения огромные щупальца и контролировать их. Во время одной из миссий «Амбреллы» Номер Шесть умер, но Клаус регулярно призывает его для помощи членам Академии.

Номер Семь / Ваня Харгривз

У Вани нет никаких признаков суперспособностей, и на первый взгляд она кажется обычным подростком, но это не так. В детстве Реджинальд посчитал, что сила Вани слишком разрушительная и может навредить самой девочке. Харгривз попросил Эллисон внушить Ване, что она обычный ребенок без способностей.

Номер Семь – самая сильная из всех детей Реджинальда. Она может преобразовывать звуковые волны в энергию и разрушать этим все вокруг. Именно Ваня развернула апокалипсис, когда прочитала дневник Харгривза и узнала настоящую правду о своей жизни.
