The Umbrella Academy Season 2: Ranking EVERY Character From Worst To Best

12. Luther

Luther was arguably presented as the protagonist of the Umbrella Academy's first season (he was Number One, after all). But that didn't necessarily go down the way it was expected to. Yes, he was big and strong and terribly heroic, but none of that made him an interesting character. And even the stuff that did - his internal struggles over his appearance - never felt like it fully did him justice.

Unfortunately, he struggles with much of the same issues in the second season - something that is made that much worse by the fact that he completely lacks a remotely interesting arc this time around.

It could have to do with the fact that he replays many of his Season 1 beats (the broodiness, the feelings of heartbreak when it comes to Allison), or it could have more to do with the fact that, as a solo character, his arc never receives the attention that the likes of Klaus or Diego do (which makes it harder to understand his motivations), but bottom line is: Luther is a potentially great character doomed to languish in the middle of the road.
