The Umbrella Academy Season 2: Ranking EVERY Character From Worst To Best
4. Ben
Ben has always been at the center of the Umbrella Academy without ever really being involved in anything. That's largely due to the fact that none of the other characters knew he was around because Klaus wouldn't reveal said information. Well, his lack of involvement changed a great deal in Season 2.
Between his newfound ability to possess his brother (so to speak), and the fact that he opened up a little more about what it was like to watch Klaus (and, indeed, the rest of the siblings) make the same mistakes over and over again, the character really came into his own this time around.
But it wasn't just the fact that he had great emotional material or that he was accurately pointing out issues with the Umbrella Academy family that we had also seen after only 10 episodes, as he ultimately managed to save the day by reaching Vanya on a level that none of the others were able to. And because of that, he went out like the hero we all knew he was.
