The Umbrella Academy TV Show: 7 Things Netflix Must Get Right

2. The Villains

The Umbrella Academy Netflix
Dark Horse

Zombie-Robot Gustave Eiffel takes control of the Eiffel Tower. The monument to Abraham Lincoln comes to life and starts destroying the city. Those are just the "opening" villains of the first and second series respectively. They're taken out rather easily by the group, but are also representative of the imagination possessed by Way.

The main antagonists of the first part are The Orchestra Verdammten who aim to destroy the Earth with the titular Apocalypse Suite. Their ultimate goal is to kill everybody, but also die themselves... yes, they're not particularly intelligent. In the second part things get crazier and there are multiple villains that the family must confront. Among them are the aforementioned psychopaths Hazel and Cha Cha, and the Temps Aeternalis led by a Shubunkin.
