"I'm not mad." ------ Cassandra Hargreeves- or Number Eight as her father always called her- was the eighth member of the Umbrella Academy. Despite having powers, she had spent her whole life on the sidelines. She had been trained to fight, of course, but having the power of predicting the future was never going to be useful in a fight. Sir Reginald Hargreeves never allowed her to go on missions with her other siblings with powers. But her power was stronger than he knew. Cassandra's visions haunted her and the one place she could never escape them was in her dreams. She would wake up screaming in the night, rambling about a forthcoming apocalypse that her father brushed off as nonsense. He told her that she'd merely grow out of these nightmares. And it seemed as if she did. As she grew up, her power grew with her. The older she got the more appalled she became by the images of destruction and chaos she saw. Try as she might to warn the others, however much she begged Five not leave her behind or how much she pleaded with Ben to just sit one mission out, no one ever listened to her... until it was too late. She saw the chaos of the apocalypse and this time she was going to make them believe.

The Cassandra Complex: A psychological phenomenon in which an individuals accurate prediction of a crisis is ignored or dismissed Or, in which; the Umbrella Academy children are far too young to know what life has planned for them -- except for the Eighth child, Johanna, who perhaps knows too much.

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. He got 8 of them....sort of. Maria Hargreeves was not exactly a Hargreeves but she did get along with everyone. All 8 of the family have powers, super strength, manipulated reality with the phrase "I heard a rumor", manipulation of thrown objects while in flight, commune with the dead, jump through space and time, has a monster under their skin, controls sound waves and is as light as a feather.
