| Summary |
In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who had previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children; when asked why, his only explanation was, 'To save the world.' These seven children form The Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower, piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again. |
| Contents |
The day the Eiffel Tower went berserk -- We only see each other at weddings and funerals -- Dr. Terminal's answer -- Baby, I'll be your Frankenstein -- "Thank you for the coffee" -- Finale, or, brothers and sisters, I am an atomic bomb. |
