One of the members of The Umbrella Academy does not demonstrate any power of her own son, she is kept apart from her other siblings who are assigned to maintain peace in the universe.

Updates:

Despite the great reception of the first and second seasons, Netflix has yet to renew The Umbrella Academy for the third time. The second season of the series is considered better than the first one. Critics also acclaim the series as a fresh story. In 2019, Netflix announced that the show is the third most-streamed series. So, there is a chance for the series to continue.
