What Umbrella Academy's Cast Look Like In The Comics

In The Comics

Prior to the Orchestra and The Conductor unlocking her dangerous powers, Vanya appears to be as unremarkable as she is told she is by Sir Reginald. But as soon as those latent powers are unlocked, she is transformed and looks like an actual violin as an expression of her powers thanks to the Orchestra's experiments on her.

In The Show

For most of the show, Vanya looks like Ellen Page, unassuming and unremarkable (which is entirely intentional). It's not until her powers are unlocked by Leonard that she takes on a new look.

Initially, she goes very MCR fan, with paler skin, glowing eyes and a black suit that she ROCKS. But when she starts to play the Apocalypse Suite, she is transformed again, bleaching her skin and suit white.

She doesn't appear to be an actual violin/human hybrid as she is in the comics, but that may have been too hard to achieve.
