10. Umbrella Academy - Kill The President To Save Your Brothers?

Though the Umbrella Academy series didn't need to include a plot based around the assassination of JFK, it is an undeniably fascinating part of the story. This is partially because of the difficult decision our hero Allison has to make in it, and partially because of the cancelled "JFK assassination cover" which was pulled for reasons you can probably guess.

In this universe, Allison - or "Number Three" - is responsible for the president's death, having been blackmailed into using her power to say a rumour and make it true to off him. Although the rest of her family are furious to discover this, Allison has a pretty fair justification for this: the people making her do it can travel in time, and threatened to kill Number Five and Number One's mother while she was pregnant with them.

While the choice for Allison is obvious - in no small part because of her quasi-incestuous relationship with the Number One Luther - it's definitely one that gives you pause for thought, as the choice between family and the promising future of the country is a pretty tough call.
