The Mind-Blowing Detail That Unveils The Darkest Origins of The Umbrella Academy's Hargreeves Family

Summary

The final season of The Umbrella Academy can delve into the origin of the Hargreeves children, revealing Reginald's manipulation of vulnerable mothers.

Tatiana and Rachel, among other young mothers, found themselves in challenging circumstances when they unexpectedly gave birth, leaving them vulnerable to Reginald's sinister schemes.

With the altered timeline, the series has the opportunity to delve into the lives of these mothers and potentially find a way for the Hargreeves to reclaim their powers, ultimately paving the way for a potential happy conclusion.

The Umbrella Academy has presented a number of unanswered questions that will need to be addressed in the final season. One particularly unsettling detail is the dark truth behind the origin of the Hargreeves children. The Netflix series wastes no time in revealing the peculiar circumstances of their births – all on the same day, at the same time, to women who were not pregnant earlier that day. Seven of these children were subsequently adopted by the manipulative and deceitful billionaire, Sir Reginald Hargreeves (portrayed by Colm Feore).

Reginald's web of lies and more has resulted in various unsolved mysteries throughout all three seasons of The Umbrella Academy. Of particular interest is the question of the children's origin. Although The Umbrella Academy season 3 briefly introduces the mothers of most of the team, there is still much to be uncovered about their lives prior to the unexpected and extraordinary births of their children. Moreover, why did they choose to give their children to Reginald? Now, a disturbing and tragic dark detail emerges, making the Hargreeves' origin even more unsettling.

Reginald Preyed Upon Vulnerable Hargreeves Mothers In The Umbrella Academy

In The Umbrella Academy, the first mother introduced was Viktor's, a Russian teenager who flirted with a boy at a public swimming pool. Unexpectedly, she went into labor and gave birth in the pool. In season 3, Klaus discovered more about his mother, Rachel, who was part of an Amish community. Rachel sold Klaus to Reginald two days after his birth. However, in the season 3 timeline, Rachel died before giving birth to Klaus due to Harlan's outburst. Due to her cultural beliefs, Rachel could not keep Klaus, leading her to make the decision to sell him to Reginald.

While Ben's mother was not shown in season 3, it was revealed that she was from South Korea and a teenager when she gave birth to Ben. Efa (Five's mother) and Elena (Diego's mother) also appeared to be very young when they suddenly gave birth, indicating that Reginald preyed on vulnerable women for his own twisted plans. By targeting young or disadvantaged women, like Klaus' mother, Reginald exploited their vulnerability and confusion after childbirth, making it easier for him to convince them to sell their babies to him, which was already a deeply troubling idea.

Umbrella Academy S4 Can Feature More Hargreeves Mothers

In the finale of The Umbrella Academy season 3, the Hargreeves find themselves in a brand new timeline. In this timeline, Reginald is the most powerful individual, his wife Abigail is alive, Allison's 1960s husband and her present-day daughter are also alive, and the Hargreeves themselves are completely devoid of power. The specifics of this alternate universe remain unknown, leaving open the possibility that the Hargreeves' mothers may be alive, though their lives would undoubtedly be drastically different. The mothers could potentially play a role in helping the Hargreeves regain their powers, offering the series an opportunity to properly introduce them.

If the mothers are not alive in this new timeline, The Umbrella Academy could once again employ time travel to delve into their lives and uncover the greatest mysteries surrounding the origins of the Hargreeves. Ideally, the Hargreeves would be given a genuinely happy conclusion by existing in a timeline where they all grew up with their families and were not manipulated by Reginald Hargreeves. However, it remains to be seen in the final season where the team will end up and whether or not they will finally achieve that happy ending.
