The Umbrella Academy: 10 Biggest Changes To The Comics

9. Allison's Powers

Another one of the slightly more minor changes on this list, Allison's powers seem to have been altered somewhat during the transition from the comics to live action.

You see, in the books, Rumour's abilities were a tad more substantial than the Purple Man-esque mind control displayed on-screen. In the original comic, each time she uttered the phrase that gave her her codename actually altered reality, as opposed to merely directing a single person.

Probably the most notable use of this version's powers is probably an event in the second volume, which saw Allison being forced to assist Number Five and the Temps Aeternalis to correct the timeline by assassinating President John F. Kennedy, by... well, you can read what she says in the image above.
