Despite starring Hollywood heavy-hitters like Ellen Page, Tom Cooper and Robert Sheehan, the real standout star of The Umbrella Academy is 15-year-old Aidan Gallagher who acts up an absolute storm as Number 5, the cranky time and space hopper who can't help but throw his fair share of wise cracks and not-so-subtle jabs at his siblings.

After travelling back through time to try and stop the world from the apocalypse, Number 5 is transported back into his 13-year-old body, but manages to keep his conscious, creating an interesting juxtaposition between pre-pubescent teenage boy and pissed off old man.

If his snarky, know-it-all comments weren't enough to make him a guaranteed fan-favourite, his crazy fight inside Griddy's Doughnuts certainly will. Watching him take out a group of machine gun wielding time cops one by one with only kitchen utensils at his disposal, is a memorable sight to say the least.

Despite being the smallest and, technically, the youngest member of the group, the shootout at Griddy's shows that he's also one of the most dangerous.
