What Umbrella Academy's Cast Look Like In The Comics

In The Comics

With her purple short hair and The Rumour from the comic books has something of a look of Joan Jett. She's also got a touch of goth to her, but is nowhere near as pale as Klaus.

Interestingly, she also lost an arm as a child, but miraculously still has them both. This has not been explained.

Played by newcomer Emmy Raver-Lampman, the show's version of Allison is white, wheres former Hamilton cast member Raver-Lampman is black. She also doesn't have Allison's purple hair, which is one of her most recognisable physical features in the comics.
