Netflix's 'The Umbrella Academy' has all its characters on point, but whatever happened to Number 6/The Horror?

'The Umbrella Academy' has a whole list of wacky and out of the box superheroes, but has this powerful family forgotten about Ben Hargreeves aka The Horror?

'The Umbrella Academy' should definitely be on your Netflix watchlist this February, not simply because of its star-studded cast, but for the way that they were able to pull off Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's creative dream to life in this beautiful graphic novel adaptation.

The story begins in 1989, when forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who had shown no signs of pregnancy before that.

Seven of these children are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist and inventor, who creates 'The Umbrella Academy' and prepares the said children to save the world. But during their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded, only to be reunited 15 years later on hearing the news of their "father's" death/murder.
