What Umbrella Academy's Cast Look Like In The Comics

In The Comics

Blonde-haired Diego AKA The Kraken is volatile and reckless in the comics and while his powers are limited to being able to hold his breath indefinitely and throwing knives well, he's the second most highly rated of the Academy heroes by Sir Reginald.

His look borrows a little from The Punisher, with his skull emblem emblazoned on his chest, but with a slight BDSM vibe. His costume is also the most obvious example of the Academy's fondness for stripes.

In The Show

Rather than his goth bandit outfit from the comics, the show's Diego wears a more traditional black ops sort of costume, identified as his original Umbrella Academy uniform. He's more obviously heavily armed, and rather than being white with blonde hair, he's played by Mexican actor David Castañeda.

If he's called The Kraken at any point in the show, it goes by so quickly that it's impossible to spot. Unlike in the comics, he doesn't appear to be in love with Vanya secretly.
