Umbrella Academy Season 3: Sparrow Academy Powers Explained

The Umbrella Academy has returned for season three on Netflix and with it brought a ton of new characters all featuring their own superpowers, The Sparrow Academy. When introduced in the season two finale of the series back in 2020, nothing about the team was explicitly confirmed except that Ben was still alive and one of its members, plus that a tiny floating cube was on the team. Now that the new episodes are here we know exactly who the Sparrows are and what their individual super powers are. Minor spoilers for the first episode lie below, but nothing beyond that. Get a refresher on the Sparrow Academy!

The Umbrella Academy season three is now streaming. Netflix describes the new season as follows: "After putting a stop to 1963's doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren't exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them. Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone's concerns. Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) – now all they need to do is convince Dad's new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?"
