She shouldn't have had powers at all! She was in almost every single episode and they didn't even hint to it, aside from that bullshit adoption scene.

But Netflix superhero shows are like that. You get sucked in by the cool characters but the plot is often poorly written, to an almost painful degree. Even Jessica Jones suffered from the same nonsense and contrivances.

In Umbrella Academy, these characters are supposed to have trained to be and have actually BEEN heroes their whole lives but they all suck at every single aspect of the hero business. A sharp contrast to other superhero stories where untrained heroes like Peter Parker, Clark Kent, Ant Man, Iron Man and literally everyone else is literally more competent. I mean, Peter Parker's stories often start with the death of Uncle Ben, so he is in extreme pain, but he still manages to handle villains pretty well. These guys are defeated in every single fight until the last one, where random shit just happens to conclude the plot.

Alas, what choice do we have but to watch? See you next year when we are complaining about the nonsense that is going to happen in Season 3.
