The Adventures of the Hargreeves in the Percy Jackson Universe: Unleashing Their Divine Potential
Imagine a scenario where the Hargreeves from the Umbrella Academy team up with the Greek gods from Percy Jackson. Who would be the most fitting godly parent for each member of the Hargreeves family? This article explores the divine lineage of the Hargreeves, drawing parallels and inspiration from the Percy Jackson series.
Luther Hargreeves
For Luther Hargreeves, godly parents who embody strength and battle prowess would be the most fitting. Among the Greek gods, the most notable choice could be Ares, the god of war. Ares is known for his unwavering intensity and pride, qualities that align closely with Luther's character. Alternatively, Kratos, the God of Strength, would also make an impressive parental figure for Luther. Kratos, renowned for his unyielding strength and unbreakable spirit, could well match Luther's relentless pursuit of excellence and his unwavering self-confidence in battle.
Diego Hargreeves
Diego Hargreeves would certainly benefit from the divine ingenuity and craftiness symbolized by Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and engineering. Hephaestus aligns with Diego's resourcefulness and knack for creating inventions that give him an edge. Additionally, his status as the "mood" in the group mirrors Hephaestus' often temperamental and unpredictable nature.
Allison Hargreeves
The divine parent for Allison Hargreeves should embody beauty and charm. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is the perfect choice. She is known for her breathtaking beauty and charisma, making her a fitting parent for Allison. Additionally, her ability to charm and influence others through charming words and actions aligns well with Aphrodite's powers.
Klaus Hargreeves
Issue 1: Three of the Hargreeves (Klaus Hargreeves, Number Five, and Ben Hargreeves) are of the same blood, but neither in the Hargreeves family (Number Five has the Hydra DNA) nor are they gods as per the originally pertinent Percy Jackson experience. However, for Klaus Hargreeves, the most fitting divine parent would undoubtedly be Hades, the god of the underworld. Hades' darker and moody character perfectly complements Klaus' enigmatic and complex personality. Furthermore, Klaus and Nico Di Angelo would likely bond over their shared dark and mysterious natures, making Hades a strong candidate for his parentage.
Five (Number Five Hargreeves)
Five, with his time manipulation abilities, would be an interesting case. Considered a poor, old man within the family, Five's godly parent could be the son of Kronos, who is lord of time. While not explicitly a god, his DNA includes the power to time travel, aligning with this character's unusual and mysterious abilities. Therefore, he could be the Son of Time, reflecting his unique and somewhat enigmatic nature that sets him apart from the other Hargreeves.
Ben Hargreeves
Ben Hargreeves is often considered the most vulnerable and innocent member of the group. His divine parent would likely be one with powerful control over the sea, the embodiment of both nature and strength. Ceto, the Greek goddess of sea monsters, and Poseidon (the god of the sea) are strong contenders. Ceto, known for her monstrous offspring, would make a fitting parent for Ben due to his connection to sea creatures, as seen in his nickname "The Kraken." Alternatively, if we consider him as Poseidon's son, he would be a brother to the author, given his love for sea monsters and their destructive potential, making him more susceptible to this influence.
Vanya Hargreeves
Vanya Hargreeves faces a lot of hate and criticism, but she also garners a significant amount of empathy. A fitting divine parent for Vanya could be Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, art, and music. Apollo's ability to control sound aligns well with Vanya's mysterious and introspective nature. While some might argue that Apollo is too light-hearted, his connection to sound and musical knowledge provides a unique and fitting parallel.
Conclusion
While these are just the personal views of the author, it is fascinating to see how the divine lineage of the Hargreeves would complement their unique traits and abilities. The Greek gods from the Percy Jackson series offer a rich tapestry of characters and abilities that would enhance the already complex and dynamic nature of the Umbrella Academy family. Their reunion in a hypothetical universe could create endless interesting dynamics and conflicts, making for a compelling read or watch.
